Edit long-form vlogs and brand footage into multiple short-form narrative videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Use Premiere Pro and After Effects, apply sound design and motion graphics, iterate via A/B testing, and optimize cuts based on performance.
About the Role
Feel Your Soul and Jacob Zander are hiring a Narrative Short-Form Storyteller to turn long-form video (vlogs, brand content) into scroll-stopping short-form stories for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. You'll be the editor who finds the story inside raw footage and shapes it into something that performs.
What You'll Do
- Cut long-form video into multiple short-form variations for A/B testing and performance optimization
- Edit in Premiere Pro with strong narrative pacing and structure
- Build light motion graphics in After Effects to enhance storytelling
- Apply sound design that elevates the emotional pull of each edit
- Iterate based on what's performing across platforms
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience editing short-form content, ideally in a narrative/storytelling style
- Strong command of Premiere Pro; working knowledge of After Effects for motion graphics
- A clear understanding of sound design as a storytelling tool, not just polish
- Comfortable testing multiple cuts/hooks to find what performs best
- Based in the US or South America
Compensation & Growth
This role starts as a part-time arrangement (per-video rate) with a path to a full-time retainer position. (~$2,000/month)
Real opportunity for growth as the role and workload scale.

- Apply here
- Complete a paid assessment (compensated if selected)
- Final interview
We're excited to see your work. Apply now.

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
