Long-Form YouTube Editor: Ongoing Work with High-Ticket Creators

Posted 2 months ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are Organic Client Engine. We work with established voices in the high-ticket coaching, consulting, and online business space. They run real businesses with real revenue, and YouTube is one of the channels we help them grow. We are building a roster of long-form editors for ongoing work with our clients. Some engagements are managed in-house, where you work directly with our team. Others are direct placements, where you are matched with a specific client and become their long-term editor. Either way, this is ongoing work, not a one-off project, and strong editors may be considered for future projects as additional client needs open up. --- Before you read further: this is talking-head content. Only talking-head. There is no B-roll. There is no documentary-style footage. There is no screen recording. It is a person on camera, and your job is to edit that footage with motion graphics. If that is not what you do, this post is not for you. --- The single most important thing on this team is reliability. We have worked with talented editors before who missed deadlines, ghosted mid-project, or quietly fell behind without telling anyone. That does not work here. If you say a video will be done Wednesday, it is done Wednesday. If something comes up, you tell us before the deadline, not after. - What the work looks like Talking-head footage — and only talking-head footage — with significant motion graphics layered in to reinforce key points, retain attention, and visualize ideas. Zero B-roll. Your job is to package the message cleanly using motion graphics that serve the content, not distract from it. Motion graphics ability is required, not optional. Typical project: 10 to 15 minutes finished. Turnaround varies by client but expect 3 to 5 business days per video. Weekly cadence once you are placed. - Rate We are recruiting at the $250 to $750 per long-form edit range. Where you land depends on speed, skill, and what the client is willing to pay. The rate you quote us is the rate we present to clients. We do not mark up your rate. - How to apply Do not send a DM. The only way to apply is through this post — no exceptions. 1. Send links to three full long-form YouTube videos you edited. Not portfolio reels, not montages. Three complete videos. For each one, tell us what you did and what the creator did. 2. Include your rate per long-form edit (under 15 minutes finished). Submit your application here with the two items listed above. We will follow up through the platform within 48 hours. - What happens next We review applications on a rolling basis and get back to candidates as soon as possible. Selected applicants may be invited to complete a test edit. For a limited number of top candidates, we offer a paid test edit ($50 flat). We're looking for strong editing judgment, motion graphics that enhance the content, and attention to detail. Successful candidates are added to our editor roster and considered for future client opportunities. If the test passes, you go into our roster and we start matching you with client opportunities as they come in. If you cannot reply within 48 hours, or you cannot hit a 48-hour test deadline, this is not the right fit — and that is okay. The clients we work with run on tight timelines and we built this process to match. - The non-negotiables You hit deadlines. Every time. You communicate before the deadline if something is off, not after. You can show us three full videos that are actually yours. Premiere Pro proficiency. After Effects is a plus. Motion graphics ability. This is most of the visual work in our edits. Comfortable sending the Premiere project file along with your test edit. Written English good enough to handle async client communication. No non-native B-roll. If B-roll is used, it must be original footage shot specifically for the video. - Why this is worth your time You get matched with creators who already have audience and revenue. These are not one-off projects. Once you are working with a client, you become their long-term editor with consistent weekly work and predictable income. When one engagement ends, we move you to the next opportunity in the roster, so you stay busy without constantly hunting for the next gig. All payments are processed through the platform. The rate you quote is the rate you receive — we do not mark it up on our end. On in-house engagements, OCE pays you through the platform at the agreed rate.
