About Tradeify

Tradeify is a fast-growing futures prop trading company. We run a performance-driven B2C growth engine across paid and organic channels and we are building additional products and sister brands. Our next phase requires transforming our live trading content into premium short-form, medium-form, and long-form video across vertical and horizontal formats to scale our organic reach and audience engagement.

Role Summary

We are hiring a full-time Video Editor to own the transformation of our live stream content into high-performing video content across all formats and platforms. You will be the primary editor responsible for turning 8+ hours of daily live trading content into compelling content for YouTube (our primary distribution platform) and short-form vertical clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. This includes medium-length YouTube episodes (5-15 minutes), longer deep-dive content (20+ minutes), and optimized short-form vertical content (15-90 seconds) for social platforms. This role is high-impact and will directly influence our organic growth, audience retention, and content multiplication strategy.

Partner with content strategists to understand performance metrics and iterate on editing approach based on what's working

3+ years of professional video editing experience, ideally in content creator, media, or digital-first environments

Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (required) and familiarity with the broader Adobe Creative Suite

Must have portfolio demonstrating vertical short-form content, medium-length episodes, and comfort working with live or unscripted source material

Deep understanding of platform-specific requirements and best practices for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube (Shorts and long-form), and Twitter

Proven ability to identify compelling moments in long-form or live content and extract/repackage them for maximum impact

Experience adding motion graphics, text overlays, captions, and light animation (After Effects knowledge a plus)

Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, and retention, especially in the first 3 seconds

Ability to work efficiently under daily deadlines and manage multiple projects simultaneously

Comfort receiving performance-based feedback and iterating quickly based on what content is resonating

Experience editing finance, trading, or business/investing content

After Effects skills for motion graphics and custom animations

Ability to create visually compelling thumbnails for YouTube using Photoshop or similar tools

Understanding of YouTube strategy and best practices

Familiarity with CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or other editing platforms

Experience working directly with live stream recordings or unscripted content

Experience in fast-paced startup or creator-led environments

Must have overlap with North American working hours (9am - 5pm ET) and be available for daily coordination and feedback

Work is hands-on and execution-focused, with daily or near-daily content delivery expectations

Early success (in the first 30-60 days) includes establishing efficient workflows for reviewing and clipping live stream content, delivering consistent short-form vertical content that drives engagement, producing medium and long-form episodes that maintain viewer retention, and developing reusable templates and systems to scale output without sacrificing quality
