Short-Form Video Creator (20-38,5h | all genders | on-site or remote)

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. Salary For an employment contract, compensation will be based on the applicable collective agreement (KV) “Werbung & Marktkommunikation” (Vienna), with classification depending on qualifications and experience (part-time 20h/week pro-rated). Willingness to overpay depending on experience, skill level, and output. 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). Must-have Airsoft / firearms / tactical content familiarity and Product Knowledge Proven experience editing + publishing short-form content (TikTok/Reels/Shorts). Strong comedic timing / meme literacy / “hook-first” thinking. Excellent English (internal communication + captions/titles).
