Role Overview

We are seeking a Junior Video Editor with hands‑on experience editing You Tube videos and podcast content. This role is ideal for an early‑career editor who understands modern You Tube‑style storytelling, pacing, and audience retention, and who actively uses emerging AI‑powered tools to enhance editing speed, quality, and creativity.

  • Create short‑form clips (Shorts, Reels, Tik Toks) from podcast and You Tube content
  • Apply clean cuts, pacing, basic motion graphics, captions, and sound balancing suitable for You Tube audiences
  • Use AI‑powered tools to assist with editing workflows, captioning, clipping, noise reduction, and content optimization
  • Collaborate with producers and creators to implement feedback and revisions efficiently
  • Ensure all videos align with brand guidelines, platform best practices, and publishing requirements
  • Organize project files and assets to support a smooth remote workflow

  • Proficiency with at least one professional video editing platform (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar)
  • Strong understanding of You Tube and podcast content styles, pacing, and viewer engagement
  • Non‑negotiable: Prior experience working remotely, with fluency in remote collaboration tools and platforms such as Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana (or similar). Candidates must have previously worked with US or UK‑based companies; applications without this experience will not be considered.
  • Ability to take feedback, manage deadlines, and communicate clearly in a remote environment
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience editing for You Tube channels or podcasts with consistent publishing schedules
  • Familiarity with short‑form content strategies for You Tube Shorts, Tik Tok, and Instagram Reels
  • Basic motion graphics or text animation experience
  • Interest in staying current with new AI tools and trends in video production and content creation
