We’re hiring a long-form YouTube editor to become a core creative partner. Each episode is typically 15–40 minutes with a clear structure: theme + goal + loose script (most footages are unscripted). You’ll shape raw footage into a tight, entertaining story with strong pacing and satisfying payoffs.

This is a project-based collaboration to start. If it’s a great fit, we want to work together long-term.

What You’ll Do

Edit 15–40 minute YouTube episodes (mainly unscripted, structured storytelling)
Build strong pacing: cold open/hooks, momentum, comedy beats, setup → payoff, emotional turns
Assemble selects, structure scenes, and tighten the narrative (not just “clean cuts”)
Add music/SFX and basic sound polish to support story (without overpowering it)
Do light graphics when needed (text, simple callouts, memes, etc.)
Handle a notes process: First Cut → 1–2 rounds of revisions → Final polish
Optional (if you’re interested): help refine outlines, joke beats, and story flow

Must-have

Strong storytelling instincts (rhythm, comedic timing, tension/release, setup & payoff)
English fluency (able to understand and digest English-speaking content/culture)
Comfortable taking feedback and iterating quickly
Passion for YouTube long-form editing (you actually watch this kind of content)

Preferred

Heavy consumer of YouTube
Familiar with YouTube storytelling styles similar to: HopeScope / Nick DiGiovanni / Ryan Trahan
Can color-correct / do basic grading (final videos require color work)

Editing Tools

DaVinci Resolve (either is fine)
Some times uses CapCut
Bonus if you’re comfortable with both (but not required)

Workflow & Footage Notes

Most footage is non-LOG, shot on DJI & iPhone, with occasional Sony
Typical edit cycle: 2–4 weeks per episode depending on complexity (1st Cut 1 Week, 2nd Cut 3-5 Days after notes, 3rd Cut 1-2 Days)

Compensation

Project-based, competitive, with opportunities to grow into a long-term role

Please send:

2–3 editing samples (long-form preferred)
