Expert Shorts Editor Wanted | Help Build a YouTube Shorts Empire
Worldwide
We run a high growth YouTube Shorts channel currently scaling rapidly, hitting 50M–100M+ views per month. We're not just making videos, we're building a premium, cinematic brand. We are looking for an Elite Video Editor to join us as a long term partner. We are not looking for a "clip-cutter" or an agency that pumps out generic volume. We want a true visual storyteller who obsesses over pacing, deeply understands retention psychology, and treats every 60 second video like a feature film. --- What You’ll Be Doing Narrative Flow: You don't just edit clips; you craft an experience. You know how to make a story move forward without friction, keeping the viewer locked in from the first frame to the last. Retention Architecture: You understand that every single second is a battle for the viewer’s attention. You know how to use pacing, visual continuity, and complex sound design to keep retention high and drop offs low. Next-Gen AI Generation: You must know how to generate hyper realistic b-roll, characters, and cinematic environments that blend seamlessly into a high end edit. Proactive Ownership: We don't want a robot who waits for instructions. We need someone who is fiercely proactive, someone who initiates creative changes, pitches new ideas, and constantly figures out how to make the next video outperform the last. --- 🚨 The Baseline Standard (Read Carefully) This is the absolute minimum level of editing, visual pacing, and storytelling expected from you on your worst day: 👉 (https://f.io/KJ_9Weaa) If your current skillset cannot naturally match or beat this standard, please do not apply. We will test you, and we will know. --- 💰 Compensation & Performance Bonuses I want you to make serious money. My goal is for our primary editor to be clearing thousands of dollars every single month. Base Pay: $50 per 40–60 second short. (We are scaling to 60 shorts per month, guaranteeing a $3,000/mo baseline for full output). Performance Tiers: + $25 bonus for every video that hits 1M+ views. + $50 bonus for every video that hits 10M+ views. Long Term Growth: We are aggressively scaling. If you consistently outperform our current style and drive massive retention, I am more than happy to renegotiate your base rate. We win and grow together! 💪🏻 Apply with the links to the best shorts edited by you , we'll get back to you ASAP :)
