Expert Video Podcast Editor

I am seeking a Lead Video Editor for a podcast sitting at the intersection of Business, Church, Faith, and Culture. We produce high-level interviews filmed in a professional studio on a 3-camera setup (Sony FX30s). We aren’t just looking for a button-pusher; we are looking for a creative partner who understands our message and wants to grow with the brand. Editing Style & Benchmarks: We require a cinematic, high-authority aesthetic. We want "smart" editing—minimalist but powerful. If you are familiar with the styles of Taylor Welch (The Deep End), Kap Chatfield (The Directed Life), or The Diary Of A Ceo, you are the right person for this role. The Growth Plan: We are starting at one episode per month and moving to one episode per week as soon as possible. Our goal is for this hire to become our go-to lead editor as we scale. The Ideal Candidate: You must have a strong grasp of Christianity and business principles. We bridge the gap between faith and the professional world, so you need to be able to identify "Kingdom" principles versus secular business tips. You should be able to listen to a deep-dive interview and intuitively know which moments will spark conversation or challenge a viewer’s perspective. Scope of Work: Multicam Master Edit: Sync 3-camera angles (Sony FX30) with professional cinematic grading and audio cleanup. The "Cold Open" Hook: Craft a high-impact 60–90 second trailer for the start of the YouTube video that highlights the most controversial or insightful part of the episode. 6–10 Vertical Shorts (9:16): Create high-engagement clips for IG/TikTok/YT Shorts. 3–4 clips should be sourced from the intro trailer. 3–6 clips should be sourced from the main body. Style: Clean, professional, and authoritative captions (No "MrBeast" style graphics). Audio Mastering: High-quality standalone audio export (MP3/WAV) for Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Requirements: Subject Matter Fluency: Must be fluent in the language of business and faith to select the right "gold nuggets." Technical Expertise: Mastery of Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve (specifically multicam workflows and proxies). Portfolio: Proven ability to deliver polished, "authority-style" content. Reliability: Ability to meet deadlines and communicate effectively as we scale frequency.
