Short-Form Video Editor — Buyout Boy (Freelance, Part-Time)

I'm building Buyout Boy — a content platform about modern professional life through the lens of someone working in finance in NYC. The page sits at the intersection of finance education, comedy, identity, and lifestyle, expanding into fashion, fitness, dating, travel, and culture. I'm hiring a part-time freelance video editor (5–15 hrs/week, 1099 contractor) to take raw iPhone footage and turn it into polished short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Workflow lives in CapCut's cloud workspace: I upload raw footage and notes → you build the timeline → we finalize together → I post. Compensation: $60 per finished short-form video (30–90s, one revision round included) + $25/hour for additional graphics/Canva work, capped at 5 hrs/week without pre-approval. Remote-friendly with a strong NYC preference for occasional in-person collaboration. Ongoing engagement, starting ASAP. Hiring process: apply through the form below → I'll shortlist within 7 days of close → $60 paid trial edit (45–60s talking-head video) → interview for top 2–3 → offer within ~3 weeks.
