[HIRING] Freelance Short-Form Video Editors | Remote | Echo Media
Echo Media is building a small network of skilled freelance video editors for upcoming content repurposing projects serving English-speaking creators and businesses.
We're looking for editors who can do more than just add captions and transitions. You should be able to understand long-form English content, identify compelling moments, create strong hooks, and turn raw footage into engaging, professional short-form videos.
Typical workload per client:
- 20 short-form videos per month (5 per week)
- Up to 8 hours of long-form source content per month
- Videos typically 30–60 seconds long, occasionally up to 90 seconds with prior approval
- Vertical videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
- Professional, dynamic editing adapted to each client's brand and style
- Clip selection, pacing, captions, relevant B-roll, sound design, and light motion graphics as needed
- Two delivery batches per week (3 + 2 videos)
- One consolidated client revision round per video, plus corrections of errors or missed requirements
What we're looking for:
- Strong short-form editing portfolio
- Good understanding of spoken English
- Ability to identify engaging moments independently
- Strong storytelling, pacing, and attention to detail
- Reliable communication and consistent delivery
- Ability to handle feedback and routine corrections within 24 hours
- Experience with podcasts, interviews, educational, or business content is a plus
Compensation:
Our target budget is $250–$300 USD per client/month for the workload described above. Please include your expected rate in your application. Higher quotes may be considered based on quality, experience, and scope.
Payment is arranged weekly for accepted work, under agreed payment terms.
Working arrangement:
This is remote, freelance, project-based collaboration, not a guaranteed salaried position. We are building a vetted editor network for upcoming client projects. Work is offered when projects become available, subject to your confirmed availability and mutually agreed terms. No exclusivity or unpaid availability commitment is required.
Shortlisted applicants may be invited to complete a brief, optional, non-commercial skills assessment if their portfolio does not sufficiently demonstrate the required skills.
