The role
We are a marketing agency that runs ads and content for restaurants, medical and dental practices, contractors, and auto shops across DFW. Almost everything we do starts with footage: we shoot at our clients' locations, cut it into short vertical video, and run it as paid social and organic content.
We want one person who shoots and edits, owns the whole pipeline from shot list to finished file, and is the reason our clients' content looks better than anyone else's in their category.
What you would actually do
- Shoot on location at client businesses across DFW, about 10 shoots a month. Restaurant shoots run about 3 hours, other shoots about 2 hours
- Edit that footage into about 60 to 65 short vertical videos a month for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Meta ads
- Work from a shot list we provide, and improve on it when you see a better angle on site
- Deliver edits within 3 business days of each shoot
- Keep a consistent look per client so their feed reads as one brand
A typical month: six restaurant shoots, plus a flooring company, a home remodeler, an auto body shop, and a pest control company.
What we need from you
- A reel or portfolio with short vertical content. This matters more than your resume
- You own your gear: camera, lenses, audio, lighting, and a machine that can handle the edit load
- You can shoot food and interiors well. Most of our volume is restaurants, and food that looks flat kills the ad
- You are comfortable directing non actors: owners and staff, not talent
- You live in DFW, have reliable transportation, and can reach Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Garland, Arlington, Grand Prairie, Lewisville, and Hurst
- You are reliable about scheduling. Shoots are booked with clients in advance and cannot slip
Nice to have
- Experience cutting for paid social, so you understand hooks and retention rather than just pretty edits
- Quick captions and simple motion graphics
- Prior agency or multi client experience
Terms
- 1099 contract, flat monthly retainer of $3,200 to $3,600 depending on experience
- Covers the volume above. Extra shoots and videos past that are paid per shoot and per video at agreed rates
- Paid trial first: one shoot plus its edits, paid at the full rate, before we commit to the retainer
- Ongoing and long term, with more volume as our client count grows
- You keep your own schedule outside of booked shoot times
How to apply
Email general@mehalintl.com with your reel or portfolio link, a short note about the kind of work you like doing, and your weekday availability. If your reel is strong we will move quickly.
Applications without a reel or portfolio will not be reviewed.
Pay: $3,200.00 - $3,600.00 per month
Work Location: On the road

Editor Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a editor in Texas?
There is no state-issued license required to work as an editor in Texas, so the path runs through education and demonstrated experience. Most Texas employers expect at least a bachelor's degree in English, journalism, communications, or a subject aligned with the publication's focus. Building a portfolio of published clips or edited work is the most direct way to qualify, and many Texas university writing programs offer internships that connect graduates directly to in-state media and publishing employers.
Which companies hire editors in Texas?
Texas editor roles are posted by TEGNA, Univision Communications, and Dealmoon and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's size and economic diversity mean editorial openings turn up across industries, from legacy newsrooms and university presses in Austin to corporate communications teams headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Which Texas cities have the most editor jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Austin have the most editor openings in Texas. Dallas leads because of its dense concentration of corporate headquarters and media operations, Austin draws editorial demand from tech companies and the University of Texas publishing ecosystem, and Houston's energy sector and large hospital systems generate steady need for technical and communications editors.
Are there remote editor jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 65% of editor openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how naturally the work translates to a distributed setup. Copy editing, content editing, and digital editorial roles are the most consistently remote, while managing editor and production editor positions more often require some on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a editor in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through an editorial internship or an assistant editor role at a Texas media outlet, university press, or corporate communications department. The University of Texas Press, Texas Monthly, and large Dallas-Fort Worth corporations regularly bring on editorial assistants and interns who build skills on the job. Candidates with strong writing samples, a degree in a relevant field, and familiarity with a major style guide will have a clear edge over applicants with credentials alone.
