About Intern Insider
Intern Insider is one of the most recognized brands in early-career hiring. We didn’t just build a product, we built a brand and a community around it: 200,000+ students, working with top Canadian universities like UBC and U of T, all as a bootstrapped team of four.
Short-form video is how the next 200,000 students will find us. We shoot the raw content; you make it impossible to scroll past. The role is part-time, with hours set by demand and the quality of your work. As we scale our content, this can become a full-time role.
What you’ll do
- Turn raw footage we shoot into Reels and TikToks built to perform: the hook, the cut, the captions, the sound.
- Own the edit end to end. We hand you footage and a direction, you hand back something postable.
- Ship fast. Short-form rewards volume, so quick, clean turnarounds matter as much as polish.
- Study what performs and iterate. Watch the numbers, spot the patterns, make the next edit better.
- Help shape how Intern Insider looks and sounds on Instagram and TikTok.
What we’re looking for
We care about what you can make, not your title or your resume. Who does well here:
- You understand virality. Hooks, pacing, retention, trends: you know why a video takes off, not just how to cut one.
- You live on Instagram and TikTok. You know what feels native to each platform and what feels like a repost.
- Fast in your stack. Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, we don’t care which. We care about the output, not the tool.
- A creative mind and a good eye. You can take the same footage as anyone else and find the cut nobody else saw.
- Driven, and already in it. You cut short-form constantly, and you want a place to grow, not just another gig.
What you get
- Fully remote and flexible. Work from anywhere with internet, on your own schedule.
- Paid hourly, part-time to start.
- Room to grow. Edits that perform earn more hours, and eventually a full-time seat.
- Reach. Your edits go out under one of the most recognized brands in early-career hiring, not into a client folder.
- Creative freedom with a direct line to the founders. No layers of approval between your edit and the post.
How we hire
Three steps, and the first one is the edit.
- Apply with your trial edit. We give you the raw footage; you cut one Reel you believe could go viral on our account.
- We review the edit first and your past work second.
- A short call with the team, then a decision. If it fits, you start on real content right away.
How to apply
The application is the work. The form links to raw footage from one of our shoots, two clips: the interviews and the outro. Cut them into one Instagram Reel you believe could go viral if Intern Insider posted it. Your style, your call, start to finish. Keep it the length you’d actually post, and use the clips however serves the edit: trim hard, reorder, lean on one more than the other. One strong video is enough, but if you want to show range, send more than one version in different styles.
Before you cut, watch what we post: instagram.com/interninsider.me. Then upload your edit to Google Drive, set sharing to “Anyone with the link can view”, and drop the link in the form along with a short-form edit you cut that performed. Tell us the numbers if you have them.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. The sooner we see your edit, the sooner we can start.
