TikTok Video Editor & Viral Content Specialist

Position: Remote / Online Type: Freelance, part-time, with potential for ongoing work Industry: Wellness, lifestyle, beauty, real estate, education, and personal-brand content We are looking for a highly skilled TikTok Video Editor and Viral Content Specialist who understands more than just editing. This person must know how to turn raw footage, voiceovers, product clips, before-and-afters, podcast-style videos, and trend-based ideas into high-retention TikTok content that gets watched, shared, saved, and converts viewers into followers and customers. You must have a strong pulse on what is currently working on TikTok—not what worked six months ago. What You’ll Do Edit short-form TikTok videos designed for retention, engagement, and conversions. Create scroll-stopping openings, especially within the first 1–3 seconds. Edit talking-head videos, voiceovers, product demonstrations, lifestyle footage, B-roll, before-and-after transformations, educational content, and podcast-style clips. Add dynamic captions, on-screen text, hooks, transitions, sound effects, visual movement, zooms, cutaways, and engaging pacing. Repurpose content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other vertical-video platforms. Research trending formats, sounds, hooks, editing styles, creators, products, and viral videos within our niches. Use Kalodata to identify top-performing videos, high-performing content angles, trending products, competitor strategies, and content opportunities. Bring proactive ideas—not just wait for editing instructions. Help create repeatable video formats and content systems that can be produced consistently. Organize project files, raw footage, completed videos, captions, thumbnails, and content assets. Required Skills Proven experience editing TikTok videos that have strong retention and engagement. Deep understanding of TikTok culture, trends, audience behavior, hooks, watch time, story flow, calls to action, and viral editing patterns. Strong ability to edit videos that feel native to TikTok—not overly polished corporate ads. Excellent sense of pacing: knowing what to cut, what to emphasize, and how to hold attention every second. Advanced experience with CapCut and Canva. Experience using ElevenLabs for voiceovers, voice enhancement, or AI audio. Working knowledge of AI video tools, including Kling AI and Higgsfield. Ability to research viral content and top-performing creators through Kalodata. Familiarity with HubSpot for organizing content, leads, workflows, campaigns, or marketing assets. Knowledge of TikTok Studio, TikTok Shop content, UGC-style ads, affiliate content, and product-focused videos is a major plus. Ability to follow a personal-brand voice while still making content fast-paced, modern, relatable, and compelling. Strong written English for captions, hooks, headline text, and on-screen messaging. Preferred Experience Editing content for wellness, beauty, skincare, supplements, healthy aging, lifestyle, real estate, entrepreneurship, or education creators. Experience with TikTok Shop, affiliate marketing, e-commerce, or direct-response video content. Familiarity with AI tools used for short-form content creation, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, OpusClip, Descript, Runway, Veed, and similar platforms. Understanding of analytics: retention rate, average watch time, completion rate, saves, shares, click-through rate, and conversions. Ability to create multiple versions of the same video with different hooks, captions, CTAs, or pacing for testing. What Success Looks Like Videos are delivered on time and ready to post. Every video has a clear hook, story flow, captions, visual changes, and call to action. Content feels current, native, and relevant to TikTok trends. You consistently bring fresh viral ideas based on research—not just edits. You understand how to make educational, product-based, and personal-story content entertaining. You can h
