🇿🇦 Hirezar Summary for South African Applicants
This fully remote full time position at Somewhere is open to applicants from South Africa. The estimated monthly salary is R33,300 – R46,250 ZAR. This role is suited for mid-level professionals. As a remote position, you can work from anywhere in South Africa — whether you're based in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or a smaller town.
Job Description
Position: Short Form Content Editor
Location: LATAM/SA
Salary: $1800 - $2500
The Role
You will edit all organic short-form video content for the client. Our founder films raw footage in batches, and you turn it into polished, platform-ready videos that post twice daily across five platforms. This is not an ads role -- a separate Ad Creative Editor handles all paid advertising content. This role starts part-time as we scale content volume from 7 to 25-30 videos per week. Based on performance and company needs, this role converts to full-time.
The most important thing you build in this role is a content backlog. A 5-10 week backlog means the company never misses a posting day regardless of filming disruptions, travel, or illness. Every video you edit ahead of schedule adds to that safety net.
What You'll Do
• Edit 25-30 short-form videos per week from raw footage filmed by the founder
• Match PeachFit's established editing style -- tight cuts, clean text overlays, audio that matches video tone
• Add text overlays/captions throughout each video that reinforce key points from the script
• Overlay relevant photos, b-roll, and client testimonial clips to visually support the script
• Maintain and build a content backlog of 5-10 weeks on Google Drive
• Organize all finished content in the correct Google Drive folder structure with proper file naming
• Self-manage your workflow with minimal back-and-forth -- you receive footage and deliver finished content
What We're Looking For
• Proficiency in CapCut, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. CapCut is our current
standard. Speed matters -- you need to edit quickly without sacrificing quality.
• Experience editing short-form content for Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts. You understand pacing, text overlays, and what makes someone stop scrolling.
• Strong eye for brand consistency. You can study existing PeachFit content and
replicate the style within the first few weeks.
• Attention to detail. No typos in overlays. No misaligned text. No audio issues. No
CapCut watermarks. What you deliver must be ready to post.
• Self-management and communication. You work asynchronously with a small remote team. You hit deadlines, flag issues proactively, and manage your own workload.
• Reliability and consistency. This role requires daily output. We need someone who
shows up every day and delivers without gaps.
Nice to Have
• Experience with fitness or health content
• Understanding of Instagram/TikTok algorithm behavior and content strategy
• Experience with content scheduling tools (Metricool or similar)
• Familiarity with Google Drive-based team workflows
• Experience posting and managing content across multiple platforms simultaneously
Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
At R33,300/month, this role is competitive with the average South African remote salary. The USD equivalent ($1,800/mo) benefits from the favourable exchange rate.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
