MDL SG – Internship / Freelance Opportunity: Social Media Video Content Editor

Internship / Freelance Opportunity: Social Media Video Content Editor
Million Dollar Listing | Singapore
About the role
We are looking for a creative and capable Social Media Content Editor to join our team.

You will work with raw video footage from property presentations, market analysis, new launch reviews and real estate educational content. Your job is to transform this footage into engaging long-form YouTube videos and short-form social media content.

We are not simply looking for someone who knows how to cut and join video clips. We want someone who understands storytelling, audience retention and how to present information in a way that makes people want to watch, learn more and eventually enquire.

If you enjoy video editing, understand social media trends and have a good eye for visual storytelling, we would like to hear from you.

1. Key responsibilities
A. Long-form YouTube video editing (16:9)

You will receive approximately 15–20 minutes of raw footage and be responsible for producing a polished YouTube video.

Your responsibilities include:

• Reviewing raw footage and identifying the strongest content and key messages.
• Structuring the video with a compelling opening hook and logical storytelling flow.
• Removing unnecessary pauses, repetition and irrelevant sections.
• Adding animated text, transitions and motion graphics where appropriate.
• Creating infographics, charts, data comparisons and visual explanations.
• Incorporating property photographs, floor plans, maps, screenshots and relevant B-roll footage.
• Adding background music, sound effects and subtitles where appropriate.
• Maintaining consistent branding and visual presentation.
• Incorporating suitable calls to action to encourage viewers to enquire.

B. Short-form video editing (9:16)

From each long-form video, you will identify the most engaging highlights and turn them into short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Responsibilities include:

• Identifying interesting, educational or attention-grabbing segments.
• Creating approximately 3–5 short videos from each long-form video.
• Developing strong opening hooks within the first few seconds.
• Editing for a fast-paced but natural viewing experience.
• Adding subtitles, highlighted keywords, animations and supporting visuals.
• Ensuring each short video can stand on its own without requiring viewers to watch the full video.
• Including suitable calls to action where relevant.

C. Content and audience understanding

This is an important part of the role.

We want someone who can think beyond editing instructions and understand what makes content engaging.

You should be able to:

• Recognise which parts of a video are likely to attract attention.
• Suggest ways to make complicated property information easier to understand.
• Identify opportunities to add graphics, statistics and visual comparisons.
• Understand how pacing, storytelling and hooks influence audience retention.
• Suggest improvements to make videos more engaging and encourage enquiries.
• Keep up with social media video trends and editing techniques.

For each completed batch of raw footage:

Main YouTube video

• 16:9 horizontal
• 1 edited video

Social media highlights

• 9:16 vertical
• 3–5 short videos

Subtitles

• Embedded captions
• Included in short videos

Graphics and infographics

• Relevant to content

3. Skills and qualifications
Essential skills

• Good video editing skills and a strong sense of visual storytelling.
• Able to edit both long-form and short-form content.
• Familiarity with video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
• Ability to create motion graphics, animated text and simple infographics.
• Good understanding of social media content formats.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines.
• Able to work independently and take feedback constructively.

Good to have

• Experience editing YouTube videos, Instagram Reels or TikTok videos.
• Familiarity with After Effects, Canva or other graphic design tools.
• Ability to create charts, data visualisations and animated presentations.
• Interest in property, finance, investment or business-related content.
• Understanding of YouTube audience retention, video hooks and content marketing.

4. What we are looking for
We value creativity, initiative and good judgement.

We want someone who can look at a 15–20 minute recording and understand:

• Which moments should be emphasised?
• What information needs a graphic or visual explanation?
• Where might viewers lose interest?
• How can the opening be made more compelling?
• Which segments can be repurposed into standalone short videos?
• How can the content encourage viewers to take the next step?

You do not need to be a property expert. However, you should be curious, willing to learn and comfortable working with information-heavy content.

5. How to apply
Please send us the following:

1. Portfolio: At least 2–3 long-form videos and 3–5 short-form videos that you have edited.
2. Graphics: Examples of animations, infographics, charts or visual presentations you have created.
