What are the responsibilities and job description for the Short-Form Post Production Producer position at Dhar Mann Studios?
About Changing Lives Productions
Changing Lives Productions is the in-house video production company of Dhar Mann Studios, the #1 creator of scripted positive content online. With over 163 million followers and 45 billion views across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, our videos receive more than 1 billion views each month.
We produce several hours of original content weekly with messages of compassion, kindness, and altruism that resonate with viewers of all ages. Our stories tackle real-life challenges and deliver powerful life lessons that resonate with global audiences.

Big Picture
We’re looking for a killer short-form editor/producer who doesn’t just cut clips — you tell stories in seconds. If you obsess over retention graphs, replay moments in your head before you sleep, and believe a 30-second video can hit harder than a movie trailer… keep reading. At our core, our brand is built on emotional storytelling that makes people feel something and inspires millions around the world. We’re looking for someone who can take that same heart and translate it into powerful short-form content that grabs attention instantly and keeps audiences watching to the very last second. If you love blending internet culture, sharp instincts, and emotional storytelling to create videos people can’t help but share, you’ll fit right in.
Why This Role Matters
Short-form isn’t an afterthought here — it’s the front door.
Your edits will be seen by millions, shape culture, and set the standard for what great vertical storytelling looks like.
How You’ll Spend Your Time
The position reports to Dhar Mann.
Where It All Goes Down
All things creative take place at our studio in Burbank, California.
When The Magic Happens
This is an on-call role, days and hours will vary depending on coverage and production schedules.

How You’ll Spend Your Time
- Turn raw footage into emotion-driven vertical stories (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
- Build viral hooks in the first 1–3 seconds that stop the scroll
- Shape edits to maximize watch time, retention, and replays
- Add smart, tasteful polish: simple VFX, sound design, music, pacing, color — nothing flashy, everything intentional
- Create multiple edit variations of the same video to test hooks, pacing, and structure
- Study performance daily and edit with analytics in mind, not ego
- Collaborate closely with producers and creatives to level up every post
- You deeply understand short-form storytelling
- You know how to manufacture emotion quickly — humor, tension, heart, surprise
- You can look at a clip and instantly know what the hook should be
- You understand why people drop off — and how to fix it
- You love experimenting, testing, iterating, and optimizing
- You care more about results than perfection
