Short-Form Video Editor (Founder Storytelling / Instagram Reels)

Short-Form Video Editor (Founder Storytelling for Instagram Reels)
For: Restday – A Purpose-Driven Clothing Brand by David Prado

We're hiring a creative and emotionally intelligent short-form video editor who deeply understands storytelling. This role isn't about chasing trends or using templates — it's about building a meaningful, story-driven content engine around Restday, a faith-rooted clothing brand, and its founder, David Prado.

If you know how to make someone feel something in under 60 seconds, we want to see your work.

What You’ll Be Editing

Short-form videos between 30–90 seconds

Instagram Reels as the primary platform (also reposted to TikTok and YouTube Shorts)

Founder-led content that feels like a cinematic voice-note

Edits often built around raw talking footage, layered with b-roll, overlays, music, and emotional pacing

Our Content Style

We’re looking for editors who understand founder storytelling — real, emotional, voice-driven content with a clear arc:

Hook ? Context ? Conflict ? Resolution

The goal isn’t just to get views — it’s to build connection and trust. Your editing should use visuals, music, pacing, and structure to amplify the story, not distract from it.

Must-Have Skills

You edit like a storyteller, not a social media robot

You understand the rhythm and structure of voice-led or documentary-style edits

You’re confident working with raw talking footage and enhancing it visually

You’re comfortable with subtle sound effects, clean captions, and cinematic pacing

You understand how to edit for retention and watch time, especially on Instagram
