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

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 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) How to Apply: Send me: —A reel or a few examples of short-form edits you've done (comedic/personality-forward content especially relevant) —Your typical turnaround time and weekly availability —Your location / timezone (NYC or Miami a plus, but not required)

—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)
