Long-Term YouTube Editor for Business & Coaching Content

We’re looking for an experienced YouTube video editor to build a long-term professional relationship with our team. This is not a one-off project. We want to find the right editor, develop a smooth and consistent workflow, and work together for the long haul. We currently publish one long-form YouTube video per week, with the potential to scale to as many as three videos per week over time. What matters most: * Consistent, professional-quality editing * Reliability and strong communication * Meeting agreed-upon deadlines, including occasional tighter turnarounds * Good judgment around pacing, visual variety, and viewer engagement * The ability to maintain a consistent editing style from video to video Typical edits will include: * Audio leveling and cleanup * B-roll * Text overlays * Lower thirds * Transitions * Punch-ins/zooms for emphasis * General pacing and cleanup Color grading is not a major priority, so you do not need to spend significant time on it. We’re also not looking for hyperactive editing. This is a business coaching channel for an adult audience. We want the videos to feel polished, modern, and engaging without unnecessary sound effects every time a graphic appears or a transition happens. Attention to detail matters. Somewhere in your proposal, include the word **anchor** so we know you actually read the entire post. **Please do not apply if you do not have an active Upwork work history with completed projects and/or hours.** Also (very important): Content planning meetings will take place on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, over Zoom, camera ON. If you are not agreeable to this, please do not apply. Compensation We’re open to either an hourly arrangement or a flat rate per completed video. For the right editor, we would ideally like to establish a predictable per-video rate once we have worked together enough to understand the typical scope and workload. When applying, please include: * 2–4 examples of videos you personally edited * Your expected hourly rate * Your typical flat rate/per-video price for this type of editing * A brief explanation of your role in the samples you provide We may begin with a small number of paid videos to make sure the working relationship, communication, editing style, and expectations are a good fit on both sides. We’re less interested in flashy portfolios than we are in finding someone talented, dependable, easy to work with, and capable of delivering excellent work consistently. If that sounds like you, we’d like to hear from you.
