Short-Form Video Editor

About the role

Ryno, Accra's food and goods delivery platform, is building a content engine and needs a short-form video editor who can turn in-house footage and creator content into videos that make people stop scrolling. The role is based in Accra and is full-time.

Key responsibilities

• Edit TikToks, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts from in-house footage, plus creator and partner content

• Pitch concepts, formats and angles, and push back when a brief will not work
• Turn one shoot into cutdowns, variations and hook tests for organic and paid use
• Stay on top of trends and sounds, knowing when to join in and when to skip
• Work with the videographer, designers, creators and marketing team on campaigns and launches
• Use performance data such as watch time, retention and shares to improve future edits

Required profile

• A short-form portfolio showing views and retention, not just the edits
• A strong editorial eye and creative direction, with opinions on concept, tone and story
• 2+ years editing short-form for brands, creators or agencies
• Great sense of timing, music and sound design
• Deep familiarity with TikTok and Instagram culture in Ghana
• Ability to deliver multiple polished edits a day when needed

Required skills

• CapCut and Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
