ABOUT THE COOK GROUP

The Cook Group is a growing life insurance sales, leadership development, and wealth-building organization committed to helping insurance professionals build successful, sustainable businesses while helping families create financial security and generational wealth. Our organization produces a significant amount of original content through trainings, live events, speaking engagements, coaching, interviews, educational programs, social media, agent development, and executive thought leadership. We are building a professional media and content infrastructure capable of transforming that intellectual property into high-quality content that educates, inspires, attracts, and converts. Overview The Cook Group is hiring an autonomous, fast-paced Video Editor & Content Repurposing Specialist to turn our raw media into a high-performing content engine. We don't just need a technician to trim clips; we need an editorial storyteller who can watch a 60-90 minute keynote, Zoom training, or event recording and independently identify the hooks, lessons, and authority moments inside it— without needing timestamps from leadership.
