    We're a well-established, founder-led food business in Connecticut looking for one person to own the production side of our social media content across two channels.

    What you'll do

    Edit short-form video (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) from start to finish. This is the core of the job.

    Edit longer YouTube-style videos from longer recordings

    Film on location with a camera and phone, with some shoots in person and some footage sent to you

    Publish and schedule content natively on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, adjusting format, captions, and tone for each platform

    Add captions and text overlays

    Keep an organized content calendar and footage library

    Keep up with trending audio and formats and pitch ideas for how we can use them

    Take creative direction on voice and tone, with final approval from the founder

    You're a fit if you

    Have a strong editing portfolio covering both short-form and longer-form video (short-form matters most)

    Have hands-on editing experience in CapCut, Final Cut Pro, or similar software

    Are comfortable filming with a camera and a phone, and can be on-site some days

    Can find the story in raw footage and cut with good pacing

    Know how each platform works, including what performs on TikTok versus LinkedIn versus YouTube

    Are organized, reliable, and hit deadlines without being chased

    Know which trends fit a food brand and which don't

    Take direction well and still bring your own ideas

    Nice to have: food or hospitality content experience, scheduling tools like Metricool, clip-generation tools like Opus Clip.

    Details

    Up to 20 hours/week, with a mix of on-site and remote work

    Located in southern Connecticut (on-site days required)

    To apply: send 2–3 short-form edits, 1 longer-form edit if you have one, and your availability to hello@gethoneyplate.com. Finalists will complete a short paid trial edit.
