About Ohana

Our mission is to give everyone the freedom to live where they want, when they want. For guests, Ohana provides the freedom to transition to the place they want to live; for hosts, the peace of mind that their rent is covered by a trusted subtenant.

Founded in 2023, we're backed by Neo, Wave Capital, Lightbank, and 75 & Sunny — including Zillow's co-founder & CEO and Airbnb's Head of Payments, Data Science, Engineering, and M&A.

About the role

Ohana is building the largest network for subletting and roommate discovery across cities and universities. We run fast-growing social pages like Girls Who Sublet, Ohana NYC, and university-specific housing communities that help people find housing through content that actually feels native to social media.

We’re looking for a video editor who understands internet culture, pacing, hooks, retention, and short-form storytelling, especially in street interview formats.

Experience editing street interviews, vox pops, or creator-style social content
Ability to identify strong hooks within the first 1-3 seconds
Strong instinct for what performs on social
Comfortable adding captions, graphics, sound design, transitions, and memes tastefully
Fast editor with strong attention to pacing and timing
Familiarity with CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or similar tools
Ability to work independently from raw footage to final cut

Bonus Points

Experience growing or editing for meme/theme pages
Experience with NYC or college-focused social content
Understanding of Gen Z humor and internet culture
Motion graphics experience
