Job Description
About the job: We are looking for an Instagram Reels Growth Video Editor who understands how Instagram actually grows pages today and can turn ideas into short-form content that earns attention, followers, and distribution. This is not a traditional video editing role. If you only edit what you are given, this role is not for you. You will work directly with the founder to convert raw ideas, talking-head clips, screen recordings, and concepts into high-performing Instagram Reels optimized for reach, retention, and follower growth. Core Responsibilities 1. Reels editing with retention as the primary KPI Edit Instagram Reels optimized for the first 1 second, not just aesthetics Use fast cuts, dynamic captions, pattern interrupts, zooms, overlays, and pacing to improve watch time Edit natively for Instagram formats (9:16, safe zones, UI-aware framing) + Creating Thumbnails 2. Hook and format development Rewrite hooks visually and textually when needed Suggest alternate hooks for the same clip Identify repeatable formats that can scale across weeks 3. Trend awareness and adaptation Track current Instagram trends, audio formats, and editing styles Adapt trends to founder-led and B2B content without blind copying Identify early trends versus saturated ones 4. Performance iteration Review reel performance (watch time, retention, saves, shares, follows) Kill formats that do not work and double down on what does Suggest re-edits or re-cuts for underperforming videos 5. Collaboration and speed Work closely with the founder on ideation and iteration Deliver fast turnarounds, speed matters more than perfection Operate comfortably in rapid feedback and testing cycles What Success Looks Like
- Consistent follower growth driven directly from Reels
- Clear improvement in average watch time and retention
- Multiple repeatable formats outperforming baseline content
- A page that feels native to Instagram, not repurposed from YouTube Compensation Structure Base + Performance 20,000
- 40,000 monthly base 5,000 for each Reel that drives 500+ followers Follower growth is measured within a defined attribution window after posting.
