Video Editor - Healthcare & Social Content

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Short-Form Social Media Editing

* Edit long-form recordings into short-form videos for Instagram Reels and TikTok — strong hooks, platform-appropriate pacing, vertical reframing, and branded overlays.
* Produce alternative hooks and edits for content testing; translate complex medical information into clear, accessible content without altering its meaning.

Long-Form & VSL Editing

* Edit raw consultation, procedure, and educational recordings into structured, professional videos — removing repetition and unsuitable material while preserving clinical context.
* Edit video sales letters for landing pages — structure footage into a clear narrative covering the patient’s concern, the service, and the next step; produce alternative versions for testing.
* Apply colour correction, audio enhancement, and image stabilisation; add approved intros, calls to action, and branded elements.

Graphics, Captions & Brand Consistency

* Add accurate captions, branded lower thirds, callouts, and supporting graphics; maintain visual consistency across fonts, colours, and transitions.
* Maintain reusable templates for recurring formats; check clinical terminology, practitioner names, and locations for accuracy.

Healthcare Compliance & Approvals

* Follow company’s internal approval processes — no content published before required sign-off; use only approved language for treatments and procedures.
* Identify potentially sensitive or non-compliant content and escalate promptly; handle patient footage and personal details confidentially.

Workflow & Performance

* Manage multiple videos, revisions, and deadlines; maintain clear version control throughout the approval process.
* Review performance data (retention, engagement, conversions) to improve future edits and support creative testing.
