YouTube Video Researcher

Title: Short-Form Video Researcher + Editor for Reaction YouTube Channel We run a weekly reaction-style YouTube channel (think Cody & Ko / ItalianBach energy — two guys, a couch, and stuff that's actually funny). We need someone to handle the part of the workflow we don't have time for: hunting down the clips and stitching them into a single video we can sit down and react to. What you'll do each week: We send you the week's topic or theme (e.g., "weirdest TikTok cooking hacks," "guys getting humbled at the gym," "AI fails of the month"). You scour TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts for the funniest, weirdest, most reaction-worthy clips on that theme. You compile them into one 5–10 minute video — clean cuts, no fluff, good pacing, ordered so the bangers don't all hit in the first 90 seconds. You deliver the final compilation. What we need from you: You actually watch reaction channels. A real feel for internet humor — what's trending, what's already played out, what's about to pop. Editing chops sharp enough to make a compilation feel like one video, not a playlist. FCPX, Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci — we don't care which, just that the final cut is tight. Reliable weekly turnaround. We shoot on Sundays, so we need the comp in hand by Saturday morning. Over time, you'll start learning our sense of humor and getting ahead of us on what to send — that's the version of this role we're hiring for long-term.
