Engaging Short Form Social Media Video Editor

Job ID: 40310784

Budget: $750 – $1,500 AUD

Short‑Form Video Editor Needed — Modern, On‑Trend, Story‑Driven Reels/TikToks

I’m looking for a creative short‑form editor who understands modern attention — someone who can turn portrait iPhone footage into premium, authentic, behind‑the‑scenes videos that keep younger audiences watching until the very end.

This is for a thoroughbred horse racing club in Australia.

We’re building content that is:
- On‑trend, modern, and culturally relevant
- Authentic and intimate, not overly polished
- Rooted in access - showing the real people, real moments, and the real energy of racing
- Designed for viewers who value experience and time, not price

What you’ll be editing

Raw iPhone footage from:
- Trackside moments
- Trainers, jockeys + stable life
- Exclusive interterviews with racing talent
- Content series of interviews 'Tea with Trainers'
- Spontaneous interviews with staff, members or attendees
- Emotional reactions + personalities
- Masterclasses from our staff ie cooking, gardening, sales
- The unseen, behind‑the‑scenes world of racing

You’ll craft this into stylish, scroll‑stopping short‑form content for Reels and TikTok.
No fixed duration — the goal is impact, retention, and story.

What I’m looking for....

An editor who can:
- Create strong hooks that stop the scroll
- Use modern pacing and trending short‑form techniques
- Build story, atmosphere, and emotion
- Keep viewers watching to the end through flow, narrative, and timing
- Bring a youth‑driven editing style (clean, minimal, TikTok‑native)
- Deliver within 3 days

Rate & ongoing work
Commencing with 3 videos per week for 12 weeks

Thereafter, steady ongoing work for the right style + mindset

To apply

Send:
- Your portfolio
- Short‑form samples with strong storytelling, hooks, or BTS energy

If you know how to make modern short‑form content feel premium, real, and impossible to skip, I’d love to work with you.
