This is a rare opportunity to shape how an established financial education brand is seen by traders and investors worldwide, in a remote role where your work is published every week and its impact is clearly visible.
Company: Tao of Trading
Location: Remote (with some overlap with Singapore hours, GMT+8)
Type: Freelance / Contract (with potential for long-term collaboration)
Start Date: ASAP
Compensation: Competitive, project-based or full-time
About Tao of Trading:
Tao of Trading is a leading financial education company founded by professional trader and author Simon Ree, a regular market voice on Channel News Asia and MoneyFM Singapore. Through expert-led courses, live events, coaching and mentorship, we have helped thousands of students worldwide take control of their financial futures. As we expand our presence on YouTube, social media, Substack and our website, we are building a more sophisticated content function and are looking for a talented, versatile creative to help lead it.
The Role:
This is not a conventional editing position. As part of a small, agile team, you will take ownership across video editing, graphic design and content production, working directly with marketing lead. For the right person, it offers exceptional variety, genuine creative influence and accelerated professional growth.
What You’ll Do:
- Video editing: 4+ long-form YouTube videos a month (including our interview series The Trading Room and podcast, radio and TV appearances) and 20+ Shorts/Reels in horizontal and vertical versions, plus sales videos (VSLs), ads and event recap videos across YouTube and various social media channels.
- Polish and retention: B-roll, motion graphics, animated text, music, captions/SRT subtitles and CTA end screens, with strong openings and pacing that maximise viewer retention
- Thumbnails and design: YouTube thumbnails (often with A/B options), email and website images, eBooks and lead-magnet covers, our monthly performance table, and event materials such as decks and backdrops, mostly in Canva
- Audio and AI: clean up audio for videos and member recordings, and use AI tools (e.g. ElevenLabs, ChatGPT, Descript) for voice patches, image clean-up, transcripts and YouTube chapters.
- Publishing and community: upload and schedule on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn; check comments and DMs each morning; maintain YouTube channel descriptions, settings and SEO
- Tracking and organisation: maintain content trackers and well-organised Google Drive and Canva libraries, report on channel growth (e.g. watch hours), and provide end-of-day progress updates
- Special projects: support launches such as website revamps and sales funnels, and research competitors, platform trends and new creative tools
- Willingness to learn: A commitment to learning and applying AI tools in your role is a must, along with openness to feedback to make sure content is consistent with our brand
Requirements:
- A Bachelor’s degree and 2+ years of video editing experience (YouTube or online education preferred)
- Excellent written and spoken English, with great attention to detail
- Proficiency in Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro or equivalent, plus strong Canva design skills
- Strong sense of storytelling, visual pacing and retention editing for long-form and short-form content
- Proficient with AI tools and publishing on YouTube Studio, Meta and LinkedIn
- Able to juggle several projects and same-day requests while delivering to a high standard
- Proactive, organised and self-motivated in a remote environment, with a reliable computer and internet connection for large 4K files
Nice to Have (but not required):
- Familiarity with the finance, investing or trading space
- Motion graphics (e.g. After Effects) or Photoshop skills
- Understanding of YouTube strategy, SEO and analytics, or digital marketing funnels
- Experience working with thought leaders, coaches or course creators
Why Join Tao of Trading:
- Visible impact: your work is published several times a week, reaches a global audience and contributes directly to our growth. 55% of our audience is based in North America, followed by Europe, Asia and Australia.
- Creative ownership: a broad remit across video, design, AI and publishing, with the autonomy to bring your ideas to life
