Compensation: Based on experience and scope

About the Role

I’m looking for a video editor to help edit YouTube content for a creator-led channel focused on AI tools, startups, product building, design workflows, and real-world experiments.

The work will include both long-form YouTube videos and short-form clips for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. You should be comfortable turning raw recordings into clear, engaging videos that keep people watching.

This is a contract role to start, with the potential to become ongoing if the fit is strong.

What You’ll Work On

• Edit long-form YouTube videos from raw screen recordings, camera footage, and voiceover
• Create short-form clips from longer videos
• Add pacing, zooms, captions, music, b-roll, screenshots, and visual emphasis where needed
• Help shape hooks, intros, retention moments, and endings
• Package videos so the final output feels clear, sharp, and native to YouTube
• Work with feedback and improve the editing style over time

What I’m Looking For

• Strong experience editing YouTube videos, especially long-form content
• Ability to edit short-form clips that grab attention quickly
• Good sense of pacing, storytelling, and retention
• Comfortable editing screen-recorded software/product content
• Taste for clean, modern creator/business content
• Ability to work independently and make smart creative decisions
• Reliable communication and delivery timelines

Nice to Have

• Experience editing AI, SaaS, startup, design, or tech content
• Understanding of YouTube retention and short-form hooks
• Ability to suggest better clip ideas from raw footage
• Motion graphics or lightweight animation skills
• Thumbnail or title packaging instincts

How to Apply

Please send:

1. 2-3 examples of long-form YouTube videos you edited
2. 2-3 examples of short-form clips you edited
3. Your usual rate or package pricing
4. A short note on how you approach editing for retention

Bonus: Share one YouTube channel whose editing style you think works really well and why.
