Job Description - Viral Video Editor (Hook Specialist)

Inkitt is building the Disney of the 21st Century, standing at the forefront of technology and entertainment. Leveraging AI and predictive algorithms, Inkitt discovers unknown stories and turns them into blockbuster hits, producing a new $1M ebook every 4 weeks and selling directly to consumers through its Galatea app. Inkitt has become the 11th most bestseller-generating publisher in the world, boasting a 40x higher hit-rate than traditional publishers. Recently raising a Series C and backed by some of the top VC’s such as: Khosla, Kleiner Perkins, and NEA Ventures, our recent expansion into CandyJarTV is only the beginning of our journey to becoming the next-gen entertainment powerhouse.

What You’ll Do:


  • Re-cut Opening Scenes: Take existing vertical drama episodes and creatively remix anything from the first 3 seconds to the first 10 minutes to maximize viewer retention.

  • Find the "Angle": Identify the core emotional hook of an episode (betrayal, revenge, romance, suspense) and restructure the intro to instantly tease that payoff.

  • A/B Testing Variations: Create 3 to 5 different opening hooks for the same episode so our team can test what drives the highest story performance.

  • Apply Social-Native Tactics: Utilize fast-paced cuts, impactful sound design, and text overlays that feel native to platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels.

  • Pitch Ideas: Act as a creative partner. Tell us why a specific hook will work based on current short-form trends and viewer psychology.

What You’ll Bring:


  • A Social Media Native: You have a strong portfolio of short-form content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) and understand the rapid-fire pacing required for mobile viewing.

  • A Storyteller at Heart: You understand narrative structure enough to take a story out of chronological order and start in media res (in the middle of the action) without confusing the viewer.

  • Software Proficient: Highly skilled in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut (desktop), with a strong grasp of sound design and pacing.

  • An Engagement Expert: You don't just make things look pretty; you edit for metrics. You understand retention graphs and know exactly where viewers typically drop off.

Who We Are Looking For:



  • Autonomous

  • Bring solutions instead of problems

  • Data driven

  • Quick to action

  • A high functioning workaholic

  • Looking for exponential career growth

  • Have lots of fun building a generational AI x Entertainment company


$80,000 - $120,000 a year
At Inkitt, we strive to build a company culture and provide employment opportunities based on diversity and inclusion. We believe every author should have an equal opportunity to succeed, as should our team members. As a growing team from 20+ countries, we welcome everyone to apply. 

We look forward to hearing from you!
