FULL-TIME LONG-FORM YOUTUBE EDITOR (REMOTE) – Wilson's Channel ----------

🏆 Bonus
Our bonuses aren't tied to views. We reward innovation, proactiveness, and studying other creators' content and adapting what works to ours, so every video is easier to understand.

💸 Pay
$1,210–$1,900 USD / month, full-time

🎥 The Role
Wilson's Channel is a research-backed YouTube channel about Bay Area cities, housing and policy. Our viewers are home buyers and renters d ---------- where to live. They watch to feel informed, so the edit should make information easy to follow, never hype it up.

• Edit 15–20 minute YouTube episodes: city guides, policy deep-dives, data stories
• Build a first 30 seconds that hooks (our #1 editing priority)
• Explain data, maps and places visually instead of relying on talking heads or generic stock footage
• Match pacing and graphics to the topic – a policy deep-dive and a city guide aren't edited the same way
• Follow our style guide for fonts, colors and our sound design system
• Keep every number, name and date accurate – flag anything that looks wrong

✨ Qualifications

• Premiere Pro + After Effects (required – our whole team works in them)
• 2+ years editing long-form YouTube (documentary, explainer or educational a big plus)
• Calm, credible editing style – informative, not sensational
• Strong grasp of story structure, pacing & retention
• Knows licensing: only properly licensed and attributed music and footage
• Reliable: hits deadlines and speaks up early when something blocks you
