About Autopilot

Autopilot makes professional-style investing accessible through an app that lets people follow portfolios or create their own fund for others to follow. Help us tell the stories behind money, investing, and culture.

Role Overview

Autopilot is building a higher-volume content engine and is looking for freelance video editors who can turn raw footage, creator submissions, app visuals, B-roll, and scripts into sharp short-form videos.

This is a pipeline role. We may not have a constant full-time volume immediately, but we want strong editors available as our production output scales. Bring your taste, own the edit, and help us make every second count.

What you’ll do

• Edit short-form organic and paid social videos

• Work with raw creator footage, talking-head videos, app visuals, B-roll, and motion assets

• Make fast, native-feeling edits for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and X

• Collaborate on hooks, pacing, captions, and visual storytelling

• Handle quick-turn projects when needed

What we’re looking for

• Strong examples of short-form social editing

• Good pacing, taste, and understanding of what keeps attention

• Experience with creator, UGC, finance, business, or consumer-app content is a plus

• Ability to work from clear briefs and turn around edits quickly

• Comfort with project-based freelance work

Compensation

Project-based / contract. Share your typical rate per short-form video and availability. Scope and payment are agreed for each project.

How to apply

Share your portfolio or three relevant edits and answer a few short questions. No cover letter needed.
