What are the responsibilities and job description for the Podcast Social Media Clip Editor position at The Axis?
The Axis produces podcasts for clients in the aesthetic medicine, plastic surgery, and addiction & recovery spaces.
We're looking for a skilled Social Media Clip Editor to turn our episodes into scroll-stopping short-form content across YouTube Shorts, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. This role requires empathy and thoughtfulness for sensitive topics within a largely female audience base, sharp editing skills, ability to follow direction, and consistently meet deadlines.
This is a clip-editing-only role — there's no up-front capture or content planning, and no full audio or video episode production required. You'll work alongside our editorial team, who will help identify possible clips, provide show context, brand direction, and clip priorities.
Responsibilities
- Pull and edit 1-3 clips per episode across our portfolio of podcasts, each with its own tone, audience, and visual identity.
- Draft captions for each clip with platform-appropriate hooks, accurate spelling, and on-brand voice.
- Deliver formatted, ready-to-post assets optimized for vertical and square formats.
- Maintain a consistent, organized delivery workflow and flag anything that needs a second set of eyes.
What we're looking for
- Experience with Riverside strongly preferred
- A strong portfolio of short-form social clips pulled from long-form podcast or interview content.
- Deep familiarity with platform-native editing for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and LinkedIn video.
- Exceptional attention to detail: your captions are clean & brand-appropriate, your spelling is impeccable, your timestamps are right.
- Experience with doctors, aesthetic medicine, beauty, or wellness space — you understand this audience.
- Must be US-based.
Nice to have
Experience with AI-assisted editing tools (Opus Clip, Descript, etc.). Enthusiasm for figuring out how to use AI to make work get done faster without losing the humanity.
Compensation
Flat rate per episode ranging from $50-$150 based on experience and client scope of work. Avg. of 5 episodes/week and growing.
To apply
Send resume, portfolio link and 2–3 examples of short-form clips you've edited from podcast content to jobs@theaxis.io. Tell us which platforms you know best and include any experience in the beauty, aesthetics, or wellness space.
