Part-Time Video Editor (Brand & Growth)

About EARLY

EARLY is a fast-growing health startup focused on safe, doctor-led weight loss. We work with endocrinologists, founders, and real patient stories to build high-trust, high-retention content across Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms.

We are building a long-term brand, not chasing one-off virality. This role is for someone who understands storytelling, pacing, brand consistency, and audience psychology.

Role Overview

As a Part-Time Video Editor, you will own the end-to-end video output for the brand.

This is not a freelance or task-based role.

You will be expected to think like a brand editor who understands what should be cut, what should be amplified, and what should never go out.

Key Responsibilities

• Own EARLY's video content quality and consistency across short-form and long-form formats, ensuring all output aligns with brand tone, medical responsibility, and growth goals
• Translate raw footage from founders, doctors, podcasts, and shoots into high-retention, brand-safe narratives across platforms
• Shape and repurpose long-form content into scalable short-form formats, making strong editorial decisions on what works and what doesn't
• Collaborate with the core team to continuously improve content direction and performance based on audience response and feedback

Requirements & Qualifications

• 2-4+ years of hands-on experience editing videos for brands, startups, creators, or media platforms (short-form + long-form)
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical training in Film, Media Studies, Mass Communication, Design, Visual Communication, Animation, or a related field
• (Formal degree preferred, strong portfolio can substitute)
• Strong command over Adobe Premiere Pro with a solid understanding of:
• Visual pacing and storytelling
• Audio cleanup and dialogue editing
• Captioning and on-screen text hierarchy
• Proven ability to edit retention-focused short-form content for platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok
• Experience working with raw, unscripted footage (interviews, podcasts, doctor or founder content)
• Strong attention to detail, deadline ownership, and comfort with feedback and iterations
• Ability to think beyond execution and make editorial decisions aligned with brand and audience goals

This Role Is NOT For You If

• You only want freelance-style or template-based work
• You are uncomfortable with feedback and revisions
• You don't care about brand consistency or quality control
• You are not interested in learning the product or audience

What We Offer

• A long-term role with a fast-growing brand
• Clear ownership of video output and quality
• Work that actually goes live, performs, and compounds

What We Need From You

• Updated CV
• Editing portfolio (short-form + long-form)
• Professional social media links
• Cover Letter
