Job description

What you’ll do

You’ll be responsible for editing high-performing short-form content and actively contributing your own content ideas. You’ll work with our team and Christoph (influencer), but you’re not just executing — you’re helping shape what gets made.

If you are able to travel to the office, you will also record on-site with Christoph

1) Editing (speed + retention)

  • Edit short-form videos in a fast, engaging style (meme + educational + storytelling).

  • Strong pacing: hooks, pattern interrupts, captions/subtitles, sound design, punchlines.

  • Optimize for retention and rewatchability, not cinematic quality.

  • Follow proven formats and push them further.

2) Ideation (your own ideas matter)

  • Proactively bring your own content ideas, hooks, and formats — not just execute briefs.

  • Spot trends early and adapt them to our brand.

  • Think in formats, not one-offs (repeatable concepts that scale).

  • Contribute to improving what we produce, not just how it’s edited.

3) Content repurposing

  • Turn long-form footage into multiple short-form videos.

  • Reuse and refresh existing footage into new formats.

  • Identify strong moments and extract them into standalone clips.

4) Platform optimization

  • Adapt edits to platform-specific formats (YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok).

  • Implement subtitles, timing, and structure tailored to each platform.

  • Support basic title/caption suggestions if needed.

5) Iteration & performance awareness

  • Understand what performs (retention, watch time, shares).

  • Adjust editing style and ideas based on results.

  • Continuously improve both output quality and content direction.

In short: €28,000 – €45,000 gross yearly (depending on qualification).

For freelance setups, compensation is agreed as hourly/day rate or per content piece (no KV minimums apply).
