About this role

Volunteers for Democracy's Future (V4DF), an independent-expenditure political action committee, is seeking a creative, detail-oriented video editor to repurpose long-form political interviews, discussions, and commentary into engaging short-form videos for social media.

Our weekly television program, The Price You Pay, explores how government policies affect everyday Americans. We're looking for someone who can identify compelling moments, sharpen the message through thoughtful editing, and create videos that encourage viewers to think, engage, and share.

Responsibilities

  • Review long-form video recordings and identify compelling 30–90-second segments.
  • Produce approximately 4–6 short-form videos per week.
  • Add captions, opening hooks, graphics, and consistent branding.
    Optimize videos for YouTube Shorts, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, and Bluesky.
  • Suggest engaging titles and short descriptions.
  • Deliver completed videos for review and publication.


Qualifications

  • Experience with CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Descript, or similar software.
  • Understanding of short-form video storytelling and social media trends.
  • Ability to identify strong moments in interviews and policy discussions.
  • Strong attention to accuracy, context, and deadlines.
  • Interest in politics, public policy, or independent journalism is a plus.

What We Offer

  • Flexible remote work, approximately 5–10 hours per week.
  • An opportunity to contribute to a growing independent political media initiative.
  • Creative input into how important policy discussions reach broader audiences.
  • Potential for expanded responsibilities as the program grows.

How to Apply
Please submit a brief introduction, your resume or relevant experience, and links to 2–3 examples of short-form videos you've edited.
