Podcast Post-Production Editor (Descript) — Audio + Video, Ongoing, US-based

I'm creating a video podcast in the psychology / healthcare-education space. I record the episodes and do a rough cut in Descript, then want hand it off for finishing. I'm looking for an experienced, reliable editor to take episodes from rough cut to published. I have 6 episodes recorded and rough edited, and can have almost 30 episodes ready by mid/late August. Per-episode deliverables (from my Descript rough cut): • Audio edit + leveling/Studio Sound, filler and gap cleanup, smooth transitions • Video edit (talking-head; clean and professional — not flashy/content-mill) • Captions, show notes, and chapters • Create layouts for use in episodes (set of re-usable media like b-roll, split screen, etc depending on episode needs & identical layouts for every episode (opening & closing initially). • Publishing to Spotify/Apple (via Buzzsprout) and YouTube (I"ll handle the website and CEU/course materials — not part of this role.) Requirements: • You edit in Descript — extensive knowledge of Descript and tools is essential. Comfortable with scenes, layouts, Studio Sound, and shared-Drive/editor-seat collaboration. • US-based, working US business hours. • Provide some of the published video podcasts you've edited (links, with your role) and published • Willing to sign a simple independent-contractor agreement + NDA. Getting started: one paid trial episode first; if it's a good fit, ongoing weekly work. Sample episode available on request after an initial reply (unlisted link). To apply, please answer: How long have you edited in Descript? How comfortable are you with scenes/layouts/audio within Descript? Are you US-based? What's your timezone and weekly availability? Your rate — hourly and per finished episode — for a ~20–30 min talking-head video+audio episode delivered from a provided Descript rough cut. Typical turnaround per episode. Any objection to signing an NDA + contractor agreement? Thank you!
