About FlashBenefits
FlashBenefits is on a mission to fix one of the most confusing experiences in American work life: understanding your benefits. We're launching a video series built on a simple premise — most people can't answer basic questions about their own benefits, and we're going to prove it on camera.
The project
We're producing a series of street-style videos where we ask people benefits questions and pay them real money if they answer correctly. We need a contractor to help us produce these from start to finish.
Your deliverables per episode:
- Help recruit and schedule on-camera participants
- Coordinate and run the shoot day (Twin Cities)
- Capture footage and manage audio
- Edit into one 5-8 minute YouTube episode and 2-3 vertical clips (LinkedIn, TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
- Occasional secondary edits using anonymized or public-domain benefits materials
Compensation
$400 per fully delivered episode package (long-form + vertical clips). Roughly equivalent to $18-22/hr based on expected scope. Paid on delivery. Open to negotiating bundled rates for committed multi-episode engagements.
Who we're looking for
- Strong video editing skills (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, CapCut, or Descript)
- Comfort with AI-assisted production tools (Descript, HeyGen, Higgsfield) — or eagerness to learn
- Confident approaching strangers on camera with respect and good judgment
- A clear point of view on what makes short-form content actually work
- Reliable, deadline-driven, owns their work
To apply
Send to josh@flashbenefits.io:
- A short note on why this project interests you
- Resume or LinkedIn
- One or two video samples you've produced or edited. Original work in any style is fine — taste matters more than polish.
Rolling review. We'll close the role once we find the right fit.
