Video Editor
You'll produce videos that explore the story buried in the week's economic news. This means editing faceless, long-form edutainment using stock footage that aligns with the voice over recording. The rest of the team builds alongside you.
The Role
This is an equal research-and-production role at BuzzShine. You will take a sourced script and a finished voice over and turn them into long-form video people stay with, choosing the footage, pacing and on-screen figures that make each number land.
You will own the full journey from first cut through captions, thumbnails, publishing and short-form clips, then read the audience response and carry what you learn into the next edit.

You own steps 6 to 9. The Content Researcher owns 1 to 5. The handover happens in a live conversation, not by dropping a file in a folder.
You won't be working alone
A team, not a solo job
You work alongside the Content Researcher and directly with the founder. Each week starts with a planning call where the angle, script and cut are talked through together.
Work with other creators
You'll collaborate with other creators on shared footage, guest pieces and cross-posts.
Grow through the work
Every piece gets a feedback round before it ships. You learn through experience and education built into the job, not bolted on.
What You'll Own
Editing
- Cut long-form video to the voice over, beat by beat
- Match stock footage and images to every line of the script
- Build on-screen charts and figures from the researcher's source log
Packaging & Shorts
- Write captions and design thumbnails that earn the click
- Clip vertical shorts from every long-form video
- No filler footage: every shot has to match what's being said
Community
- Monitor comment sentiment
- Surface what's landing
- Feed it back into the next cut
What We're Looking For

Nice to Have
- Motion graphics or animated data visualisation experience

The Paid Trial
Every shortlisted candidate completes one compensated brief. We send you a sourced script and a recorded voice over on a single Korean economic data point, and you take it to a finished 60-second vertical video. You'll deliver the edited video, a caption and a thumbnail. The trial is paid whether or not we move forward, and the work remains credited to you.
