YouTube Video Editor

About the Role: We're not looking for just another editor; we're looking for a platform-native storyteller. As a YouTube Video Editor, you will transform conversations into content that earns attention. You'll work closely with our content producer to shape raw footage into long-form YouTube episodes and social-ready short clips that feel unmistakably thoughtful, grounded, and human.

What You'll Do

• Edit full-length podcast episodes into polished, YouTube-ready cuts (typically 40–75 minutes) and craft compelling 60-second hooks.
• Identify and extract 30–90 second moments to produce vertical (9:16) Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
• Apply subtle visual enhancements, bold captions, music, sound design, and b-roll to support tone and context.
• Work directly with the content producer to interpret briefs, align on editorial direction, and iterate quickly.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience editing video content for YouTube, with a portfolio that includes long-form talking-head content.
• Demonstrable fluency in modern YouTube storytelling, including pacing, retention strategy, and hook construction.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve (After Effects/motion graphics is a plus).
• Experience editing short-form vertical content for Instagram Reels or TikTok.

Benefits

• Work from any corner of the world and be a part of the #remoteworkrevolution!
• Collaborate within a small, high-trust team where ownership, initiative, and judgment matter more than hierarchy.
• Full-time engagement as an independent contractor with a fully remote (Global) setup.
