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

  • 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
