Video Editor — Long-Form Focus

Video Editor — Long-Form Focus (+ Graphics)

Podcast, Coaching & Educational Content for Real Estate Coaching Brands

Type: Full-Time, Remote

About the Role

We're building the content team behind a group of real estate coaches who mentor, train, and recruit agents into their organizations. Every week they record podcasts, coaching calls, training sessions, and educational content. Your role is to transform those recordings into engaging long-form videos that keep viewers watching, learning, and coming back for more.

The audience is not made up of homebuyers. These videos are designed for active real estate agents looking for guidance, coaching, and proven strategies from experienced industry leaders. Success in this role comes from understanding how to structure content so viewers stay engaged, trust the person on screen, and consistently consume more of their content.

While visual polish is important, we are not looking for someone who relies on flashy effects to carry a video. Our clients believe that the strongest content starts with a valuable message delivered clearly. We need an editor who can take a 60-90 minute coaching call or podcast, identify the strongest insights, tighten delivery, improve pacing, and create a video that feels intentional from beginning to end.

You'll initially support two coaching brands, with opportunities to take ownership of additional brands as we continue to grow. This is a long-term position for someone who wants to become a key member of our content team and eventually step into a lead editor role.

Ideal Candidate

This role is for an editor who enjoys shaping conversations into compelling educational content. You understand that great long-form video isn't about constant effects or flashy transitions. It's about structure, pacing, clarity, and helping viewers stay engaged long enough to receive value.

If you're the type of editor who can watch a 90-minute coaching session and instinctively know what should stay, what should go, and how to make the final product feel engaging from start to finish, we'd love to meet you.
