About the Opportunity

Accelerate Change is seeking a freelance, short-form video editor who deeply understands what works on social media platforms. Our ideal candidate is someone with extensive experience creating high-performing short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, with the ability to scale edits to longer-form content as needed. You understand what drives engagement on social media, from strong hooks and pacing to trend-aware, platform-native storytelling and bring an experimental, creator-first mindset to your work. You have a strong eye for visual design and know how to craft edits that feel intentional, engaging, and built for growth.

Here’s what you could expect to do as a freelance Short-Form Video Editor (key responsibilities):

  • Edit high-performing short-form videos optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat, and similar platforms

  • Craft strong opening hooks that immediately capture attention and improve watch time

  • Apply platform-specific best practices (pacing, captions, formatting, storytelling) to maximize reach and retention

  • Stay current on trends, formats, sounds, and visual styles across social platforms

  • Experiment with edits, structures, and visual approaches to test what performs best

  • Design and implement on-screen text, titles, captions, and visual cues with strong typography and layout instincts

  • Repurpose and optimize content across multiple platforms while maintaining quality and intent

  • Collaborate with producers and content leads on ideation, structure, and creative direction for short-form series

  • Maintain brand consistency while adapting to platform-native aesthetics

  • Format content correctly for each platform (aspect ratios, lengths, safe zones, captions, etc.)

  • Work from creative briefs and across multiple partner brand guidelines

  • Experience with motion graphics or light animation is a plus

What We’re Looking For

  • Commitment to social justice. Accelerate Change is a mission-driven organization focused on social change and social justice, with a focus on communities of color. You have a demonstrated commitment to this work and you’d like to be part of a team of people who do, too.

  • Experience with key responsibilities: We’re looking for someone who has hands-on experience with professional video editing software (such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar video editing software applications), motion graphics, and social media video optimization

  • Technical expertise: Proficiency in industry-standard video editing software and familiarity with current video trends and best practices for social media

  • Portfolio showcase: Strong portfolio demonstrating variety in video editing styles, motion graphics capabilities, and social media content

  • Creative problem-solver: Think creatively and find innovative solutions to visual storytelling challenges

  • Excellent communication skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills for understanding project requirements and collaborating with team members

  • Self-motivated and deadline-driven: Skilled in working independently, managing time effectively, and meeting deadlines consistently

Compensation

This is a 3-month freelance opportunity with the potential to extend. The compensation range is $40 - $55 per hour, depending on experience. The number of hours per week will vary, but we estimate roughly between 10 to 20 hours per week.

Apply

To apply, please upload your resume, share a link to your portfolio and tell us more about your experience on the application on our website.

Accelerate Change is an equal opportunity employer. We believe that people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQIA+ people must be centered in the work we do.
