About the job
We are looking for a highly creative and detail-oriented Video Editor with 8+ years of professional experience to help launch and grow our podcast across multiple digital platforms.
This role is focused entirely on post-production. We will provide all recorded podcast footage, and you will be responsible for transforming it into polished, engaging, and platform-optimized content that drives audience growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Edit long-form podcast episodes into high-quality, professional final productions.
- Create engaging short-form clips for platforms such as YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, and other social media channels.
- Design compelling thumbnails for YouTube videos and other promotional assets.
- Add motion graphics, captions, transitions, sound effects, background music, and visual enhancements where appropriate.
- Color correct and enhance audio to ensure a premium viewing experience.
- Optimize content for each platform's best practices, including aspect ratios, pacing, and audience engagement.
- Identify the strongest moments from each episode and turn them into attention-grabbing, shareable content.
- Maintain consistent branding, visual identity, and editing style across all content.
- Deliver edited videos within agreed timelines while maintaining exceptional quality.
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional video editing experience, preferably with podcasts, interviews, or creator-led content.
- Strong portfolio showcasing long-form podcast editing and viral short-form content.
- Expertise in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent professional editing software.
- Experience with Adobe After Effects or similar tools for motion graphics is a strong advantage.
- Proven ability to create high-performing thumbnails that improve click-through rates.
- Excellent understanding of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other social media content strategies.
- Strong storytelling skills with the ability to hook viewers within the first few seconds.
- Excellent attention to detail, organization, and communication skills.
- Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and consistently meet deadlines.
- Nice to Have
- Experience working with podcasts, business leaders, entrepreneurs, or interview-based content.
- Knowledge of YouTube analytics and audience retention techniques.
- Experience developing editing styles that support channel growth and audience engagement.
What We Provide
- All raw podcast video and audio recordings.
- Brand guidelines and creative direction.
- A steady pipeline of podcast episodes and social media content to edit.
- If you're passionate about creating compelling video content, understand what makes audiences stop scrolling, and can turn great conversations into engaging content that performs across platforms, we'd love to hear from you. Please include your portfolio, examples of podcast edits, short-form social media content, and thumbnail designs with your application.
