Video Editor - YouTube

About The Role We’re looking for a great storyteller behind the timeline.

We’re hiring a talented, reliable part-time Video Editor to join the team behind an established YouTube channel. This is a remote position focused on producing engaging, long-form content where strong storytelling, pacing, and attention to detail are essential.

You’ll work closely with the creator and management team to turn raw footage into polished, compelling videos that feel consistent with the channel’s established style. The ideal editor is a storyteller not a clipper; building a story, maintaining momentum, and keeping viewers engaged from beginning to end should be second nature.

What You’ll Do

• Edit long-form YouTube videos from raw footage through final delivery
• Shape footage into compelling stories with strong pacing, structure, and flow
• Use B-roll, music, sound design, graphics, text, and other editing techniques to enhance the story
• Create engaging openings and maintain viewer interest throughout each video
• Maintain the channel’s established editing style while making each video feel fresh and intentional
• Collaborate directly with the creator and the broader team to incorporate feedback efficiently
• Manage projects independently and consistently meet deadlines
• Deliver polished, upload-ready videos with a high level of attention to detail

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience editing YouTube or other long-form video content
• Strong storytelling instincts and a natural understanding of pacing and audience retention
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or similar software
• Extreme ownership of your work and high agency
• Strong communication skills and the ability to adapt well to feedback
• Experience with video essay, documentary, commentary, or other story-driven YouTube content is a strong plus

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who has the skills to tell a story - not splice clips together.

The Details

• Position: Part-time
• Location: Remote
• Typical Turnaround: 48-72 hours per project
• Software: Adobe Premiere Pro
• Start Date: ASAP

How to Apply Please submit the following:

• Your resume
• A portfolio or examples of your previous editing work
• 2-3 examples of YouTube videos you’re particularly proud of editing
• A brief note about your experience with long-form YouTube content

Please make sure your portfolio demonstrates your own editing work.
