Long Form Video Editor (YouTube & VSL)
Worldwide
Read this first: beginners should not apply. This role is for an experienced editor who can hit the ground running. When you apply, submit your strongest YouTube-specific examples, not short-form, not other platforms. We want to see long-form work you're proud of. We are content agency that helps online coaches, personal brands, and creators, and we're looking for a sharp, detail-driven video editor to own our long-form content output. Your job is to turn raw founder footage into polished long-form videos that hold attention from the first second to the last, keep viewers watching, and make our clients look like the authority they are. You'll be editing long-form content across multiple clients, so structure, retention, and a strong eye for story flow matter just as much as a clean cut. This is a content-forward role. You understand YouTube, you know what keeps someone watching a 10-plus minute video, and you can shape raw footage into a tight narrative while matching a client's style and keeping it consistent across dozens of uploads. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR: Real experience editing long-form social content (YouTube videos, podcasts, webinars, talking-head content). This is the core requirement. Strong eye for pacing, retention editing, B-roll placement, captions, and clean transitions that keep people watching without feeling overproduced. Ability to structure a story. You can take a messy raw recording and shape it into a tight, watchable narrative with a clear arc. Fluent English. You'll be working directly with our team and following detailed briefs. Consistent and reliable. You can deliver polished long-form edits on schedule without quality slipping. Self-directed and dependable working remotely. Bonus: experience with retention graphs, thumbnail input, or repurposing long-form into short clips. We'll train you on our systems and style, so you don't need to know our exact workflow. We need a strong editor with great long-form instincts.
