Shorts Editor

About Gupdav

Gupdav is a full-service podcast production and growth agency. We run the content engines behind shows for Aakash Gupta, Atlassian, Tony Greer, Andrew Baxter, and more: 10,000+ videos created, 100M+ views, 5M+ hours watched. Clients show up and record; we do everything else. We are a small, remote, high-trust team where your work ships to real audiences every single week.

The role

Every episode we produce becomes 3 to 5 shorts, and those shorts are how new audiences discover our clients. You will find the moments worth clipping, cut them for retention, and style them natively for each platform. Your edits are the top of the funnel for everything we do.

What you will own

• Clip selection: scanning full episodes and identifying the hooks worth cutting.
• Editing shorts end to end: pacing, captions, sound design, motion graphics.
• Platform-native versions for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, not one export pushed everywhere.
• Retention: your first three seconds decide everything, and you treat them that way.

What we expect

• 2+ years cutting short-form content with numbers to show for it.
• Fluency in Premiere Pro or CapCut, with After Effects a strong plus.
• Caption craft: styling, timing, and emphasis that hold attention with the sound off.
• Volume without quality loss: multiple polished shorts per day on a weekly cycle.

Bonus points

• You run or have grown your own short-form account.
• You can spot a viral moment in a two-hour recording within one pass.
