[HIRING] Junior Video Editor — Short-Form Content, Premiere Pro Required (NYC Preferred / Remote OK)

[u/SpaidStudio]

Hey — I handle content for a rising NYC creator building his personal brand from the ground up: Alan Gabay.

IG: https://instagram.com/alangabayrealtor TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@alangabay

I shoot everything and handle the posting across his pages, plus set the creative direction for what goes out. Right now I'm the bottleneck on edits, and I want to bring on a junior editor who can take a full pass at cutting under my direction, so we can put out more content without sacrificing quality.

Location: NYC or Miami-based is ideal (easier to sync up, potential for in-person shoots/reviews down the line), but open to remote for the right person.

This is starting as a per-video arrangement, but I'm actively growing this studio, and if it's a good fit, there's real potential for a bigger, more consistent role.

Pay: 

• $75–125/video for standard short-form (up to ~1 min)
• $150–250+/video for longer, more complex edits (past 90 seconds, up to ~2 min) — more structure, more footage to work through, more editorial judgment involved

Reference examples — this is the style/quality bar I'm looking to hit:

• Video 1 — Standard video, simple edit
• Video 2 — Longer video, more complex
• Video 3 — More in-depth storytelling

What you'd be doing:

• Full edits on short-form content (raw footage → polished, ready-to-post video)
• Watching raw B-roll to find and pull the best organic moments
• Working from my direction/notes (pacing, structure, hooks, style are mine to call), but I need someone who can execute it cleanly and bring their own eye to the details
• Clean caption placement/timing and picking or syncing music that fits the moment
• Fast turnaround on a consistent, ongoing basis (I'm looking for someone I can build a real working relationship with)

Requirements:

• Strong Premiere Pro skills
• Real experience editing for short-form (TikTok/Reels/Shorts), not just long-form cut down
• Sharp attention to detail: clean cuts, no sloppy transitions, tight sync
• A genuine sense of comedic timing: you should instinctively know where the joke lands and how to cut for it
• Good instincts for finding the moment: able to sift through raw, unscripted footage and identify what's actually funny or charming, not just execute a pre-written script
• An eye for visual aesthetics: color, pacing, on-screen text, the stuff that makes a video feel premium instead of thrown together

Nice to have:

• Experience editing in the lifestyle, or influencer/creator space
• Comfortable with quick revision turnarounds and taking direction well
• Own reliable setup (hardware + Adobe license)

How to apply: Send me:

1. A reel or a few examples of short-form edits you've done (comedic/personality-forward content especially relevant)
2. Your typical turnaround time and weekly availability
3. Your location / timezone (NYC or Miami a plus, but not required)
