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

Apply 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

Compensation & Growth
This role starts as a part-time arrangement (per-video rate) with a path to a full-time retainer position. (~$2,000/month)

Real opportunity for growth as the role and workload scale.

Our Hiring Process

Complete a paid assessment (compensated if selected)

Final interview

We’re excited to see your work.
