About The Role
We are seeking a skilled Video Editor to transform complex business conversations into clear, engaging, and high-retention long-form YouTube videos. This is not a routine assembly-line editing position; the ideal candidate will exercise strong editorial judgment to craft compelling stories by shaping raw recordings, removing unnecessary content, and simplifying complex ideas for easy understanding. You will own the entire video production process including cold opens, story structure, pacing, audio mixing, captioning, graphics integration, revisions, and final delivery.
The role requires a commitment to publishing polished videos on a reliable weekly schedule while continuously improving the production workflow.
Success in this role is measured by consistent on-time delivery and improvements in key performance indicators such as first-30-second retention, average percentage viewed, first-pass approval rates, and qualified call-to-action (CTA) engagement within the first 30 days of publication.
Qualifications
Proven experience editing long-form YouTube or video-podcast content, preferably in B2B, AI, SaaS, marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, or expert-led creator niches
Strong editorial judgment with the ability to shape story arcs, pacing, and cold opens without frame-by-frame direction
Proficiency in video editing software and audio mixing tools
Experience integrating graphics, motion design, B-roll, screen captures, text overlays, music, and silence purposefully
Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows for transcript analysis, rough cuts, captioning, graphics, and quality control
Demonstrated ability to maintain organized project files, version control, and clear handoff documentation
Ability to collaborate effectively with strategists, thumbnail designers, and publishing teams
Reliable turnaround times and professional revision processes
Strong communication skills and self-motivation to work independently in a remote contractor role

Review source recordings, transcripts, outlines, and creative briefs to understand content and objectives
Create compelling cold opens that quickly establish the video's promise and engage viewers
Shape the overall story by removing repetitions, clarifying ideas, strengthening transitions, and maintaining momentum

Clean and mix audio tracks to ensure high-quality sound
Create accurate captions and deliver platform-ready video exports
Leverage AI tools responsibly for transcript analysis, rough cuts, captioning, graphics, and quality control while applying human editorial judgment
Maintain meticulously organized project files, version histories, naming conventions, and handoff notes
Use feedback from retention metrics, revisions, and publishing to continuously improve video quality and efficiency
Coordinate closely with strategists, thumbnail designers, and publishing owners to ensure alignment and timely delivery
