At Hashtag, we don't just edit videos.
We tell stories that travel, from 20-second Reels to 2-minute brand films to 20-minute podcast episodes.
We're looking for an editor who understands that the real magic lies in rhythm, emotion, and story flow, not just transitions and cuts.
Someone who can shape a brand's voice visually and make every second on the timeline count.
If you:
- Watch content and wonder why it worked, not just how it was shot
- Can make a video piece perform through timing, pacing, and story
- Love experimenting with styles, text, and sound
- Move fast without losing quality
You'll fit right in.
What You'll DoEditing & Storytelling
- Edit short-form and long-form content like Reels, campaigns, YouTube videos, brand films, and podcast episodes.
- Build narratives through pacing, tone, and music, and not just by assembling footage.
- Create platform-first edits that hook instantly and retain till the end.
- Work with the creative and strategy teams to align edits with brand intent.
- Use text, motion, and sound to amplify emotion and engagement.
Creative Collaboration
- Partner with cinematographers, producers, and designers to ensure smooth handoffs and unified storytelling.
- Experiment with new trends, editing formats, and transitions to evolve brand styles.
- Apply creative feedback with speed and intent.
- Stay updated on emerging tools, styles, and workflows (AI, CapCut, Runway, Descript, etc.).
Quality & Performance
- Optimize edits for platform behavior: hooks, subtitles, pacing, aspect ratios, and export settings.
- Maintain visual and storytelling consistency across deliverables.
- Review and version content for different formats (vertical, square, horizontal).
Who You Are- 24 years of editing experience across social, branded, or digital video.
- A storyteller at heart, and you edit for emotion and rhythm, not just a deliverable.
- Obsessed with pacing, audio layering, and storytelling flow.
- Proficient in Premiere Pro / Final Cut / DaVinci Resolve.
- Basic comfort with After Effects for motion text, transitions, or light compositing.
- Strong awareness of Reels, YouTube, and podcast trends.
- Curious, experimental, and always chasing better visual energy.
- Bonus: Experience editing multi-camera podcast setups or event footage.
Nice-to-Haves (Optional)- Motion graphics or basic animation skills.
- Understanding of sound design and color grading.
- Experience editing branded content, ad films, or documentaries.
- A showreel/portfolio that shows variety, from performance-driven Reels to storytelling-led long-form.
The Vibe- Creative freedom to experiment and build your visual style.
- Exposure to diverse brands, content types, and storytelling approaches.
- A team that values taste, speed, and collaboration.
- Ownership from day one, you'll shape how brands look, sound, and feel.
We think fast, edit sharply, and move ideas forward.
If you're someone who can make stories perform, not just play, this role's for you.
