WE ARE HIRING:
Editor / Art Producer
Location: Stockholm, Sweden — because you might also be working closely with the C'est Normal team, and you could work from our HQ.
Position: Full-time, freelance (monthly invoice)
Deadline: June 8, 2026
Start Date: As soon as possible after selection
WHO AM I:
I'm Benjamin Ortega, a French creative based in Los Angeles. Over the past 8 years I've filmed, produced, edited, and starred in 500+ videos — YouTube vlogs, brand commercials, and everything in between.
Now I want to refocus on the core of my passion: making consistent, high-quality YouTube videos that tell fun, meaningful, and inspiring stories. I'm starting at 2 videos a month and ramping toward 1 per week, plus regular short-form content for Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and eventually TikTok.
WHO I'M LOOKING FOR:
An Editor / Art Producer based in Stockholm who's fired up to edit and deliver scroll-stopping long and short videos with clean aesthetic visuals across every channel.
You'll take the footage I send you (or that we film together) and shape it into the story we want to tell. You'll bring your own perspective and editing instincts, and you'll pick up the tips and tricks I've developed over the years. You'll also collaborate with the C'est Normal team in Stockholm whenever they need help filming or editing — this role is shared with them.
