Copy of Freelance Content Editor

Role

Technically, you’re a freelance content editor. But titles aside — you’re a storyteller in the edit bay. A sequence whisperer. Someone who knows how to take raw footage and carve out rhythm, meaning, and moments that stick.

You’re not here to just “get it done.” You’re here to do work that feels like something. That earns attention. That adds value. You'll be working alongside our small creative crew to bring cinematic short-form content to life — quickly, creatively, and consistently.

Responsibilities

• Edit short-form cinematic content for social, brand, and client use

• Transform raw footage into tight, polished, emotionally resonant edits

• Add transitions, motion, and sound design that enhances (never distracts)

• Select the perfect music track from our Artlist account

• Deliver on time, every time (5–7 day standard turnaround)

• Collaborate via Slack and Frame.io — take feedback well, and act on it fast

• Keep our editing workflows clean, structured, and export-ready

Requirements

• Portfolio that proves you know how to cut with energy and feeling

• Fluent in Adobe Premiere Pro (bonus if you use Lucid Link or Frame.io)

• Excellent eye for pacing, hooks, and visual rhythm

• Solid sound design instincts — the ear matters as much as the eye

• Clear, concise communicator (Slack will be your best friend)

• Available during the week, flexible for weekend overflow

• Reliable, fast, and quality-focused — we don’t do sloppy

Expectations

• Your edits meet or exceed the style + standard seen at salt-aircinema.com.au

• You’re checking Slack daily for project updates

• You’re not ghosting — this is collaborative, not transactional

• You want creative feedback because you care about getting better

Working Structure

• Freelance / pay-per-project to start

• Opportunity to grow with us as demand scales

• 5–7 day turnaround per project

• Communication: Slack (daily), Zoom (occasionally), PM tool (TBA)

• Provided access to:

  • Artlist (music licensing)

  • Lucid Link (for live project files)

  • Frame.io (for reviews/feedback)

You’ll Know You’re Right for This If...

• You move fast and deliver clean

• You’re proud of your work but not precious about feedback

• You’re building something better than a freelance hustle — you're building a body of work

• You want to make beautiful things with a team that values the craft
