Senior YouTube Video Editor (Remote)
Subject line when applying: “I actually read the instructions”
We’re looking for a sharp, creative, and detail-obsessed YouTube Video Editor to join our content team. If you live and breathe story pacing, thumbnails, retention curves — and know how to turn 45 minutes of ramble into 10 minutes of gold — keep reading.
This is not your typical chop-and-trim gig. We’re producing YouTube-first content for real estate creators building real brands. Think: storytelling that sticks, pacing that keeps viewers hooked, and visuals that actually matter.
What you'll do:
- Edit long-form YouTube videos that are clean, compelling, and built for retention.
- Craft tight intros, strong hooks, and mid-video resets that drive watch time.
- Suggest titles, choose thumbnails, and think strategically about viewer engagement.
- Repurpose long-form content into YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikToks.
- Enhance videos with music, captions, motion graphics, and relevant b-roll.
- Collaborate with our creative team and real estate clients to elevate their voice and message.
What you bring:
- 2–3+ years of experience editing YouTube-first content.
- Strong understanding of YouTube pacing, retention, and viewer psychology.
- Expertise with Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
- Ability to edit clean audio, sharp visuals, and invisible cuts.
- Self-sufficient workflow with strong communication and deadline discipline.
- Bonus: Experience editing in business, real estate, or finance verticals.
Success in this role looks like:
- 30–50%+ average viewer retention on long-form edits.
- Consistent 2–3 week edit buffer per client.
- Brand-aligned visuals and tone — every time.
- High satisfaction from both internal and client teams.
Pay & growth:
- Pay starts at $8.50–$11.00 USD/hour, depending on experience.
- All roles begin with a paid 30–60 day trial to ensure fit and workflow.
- Grow into full-time editor, creative strategist, or account lead as you deliver results.
- High performers are first in line for internal promotions — we love promoting from within.
