Editor / Content Creator — Pre-Launch Kids Wellness Brand (Great Neck, NY) We're a founder-led, pre-launch DTC children's wellness brand (think: premium, clean-label, TikTok-native) about to bring a genuinely new product format to market. You'll be employee #2 on the content side, working directly with the founder. What you'll actually do: Film and edit short-form vertical video (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) daily — this is the core engine of our launch, not a side task Direct simple, authentic on-camera moments (product demos, parent/kid content, unboxings) Edit fast — same-day or next-day turnaround, not agency timelines Work from a rotating content brief based on what's actually converting, not a fixed script Occasionally help concept new hooks and formats, not just execute someone else's ideas Who you are: You've actually shot and edited short-form content that performed — show us numbers, not just a nice reel You're fluent in CapCut/Premiere/Final Cut and understand TikTok pacing, hooks, and native style (this does not look like a commercial) You're comfortable directing kids and parents on camera — patience and a light touch matter here You want in-person collaboration: 3 days/week on-site in Great Neck, NY (shoots may occasionally be off-site) and 1 day/week remote You're early-stage-startup wired: fast, unglamorous, hands-on, no title inflation, no "that's not my job" You genuinely care about clean-label, kid-safe products — this isn't a 'phone case' client Who you are not: An agency employee who waits for a shot list — you see the content and go get it.
Compensation:
$3,500 - 4,000 /month flat rate (based on experience), with a defined path to increase in Year 2 as the role and brand grow. Hours structured around a 3-day in-person schedule and 1 day remote.
To apply:
Send 2-3 examples of short-form video you personally shot AND edited (not just edited), with view counts if available, plus one sentence on the worst piece of content feedback you've ever gotten and what you changed.
