Video Editor

Summary
Applications for this job require a 1-minute video sent as a link (URL) from you explaining why you believe you're a good fit. If you're not prepared to do this, please don't read any further. (You can use the free site ---------- to record your video.)

We're looking for a creative, detail-oriented YouTube editor to turn our scripted long-form videos into polished, high-retention content. This is for the YouTube ----------

Requirements:

Experience editing educational or business YouTube content
Strong motion graphics skills
An understanding of YouTube retention and how audience graphs work

Nice to haves (but not required):

Interest in podcasting or personal branding
Experience with Descript, our editing software (if you use other software, that’s not a dealbreaker)

You'll edit 8 long-form YouTube videos per month. Videos are typically 7-15 minutes and we’re also planning to experiment with longer 25-35 minute content in future. Compensation is $ ---------- per month for 8 videos.

This is not a "cut the mistakes and add captions" role. Our videos are planned, researched, and scripted around a single argument. We need someone who can bring that argument to life visually: animated diagrams, on-screen text, B-roll, images of our client results whenever we mention them, and pacing that keeps people watching to the end.

Every video is scripted in advance, so you'll receive the footage, the script, and notes on key moments. Your job is to make each point land: clearly, quickly, and visually.

The target audience is experts, consultants, and online coaches who are either interested in starting a podcast, or are at the start of their podcast journey and will be using it to build their authority and get clients.

Include the word "Retention" at the top of your application to show you've read this entirely, along with your video and 2–3 examples of long-form videos you've edited, linking the live YouTube videos themselves. Business channels are preferred.
