YouTube Video Editor

We are looking for a detail-obsessed YouTube Video Editor to turn raw footage into polished long-form videos and short social cuts. You will work within a structured, compliance-minded process where the script is preserved exactly as written and every on-screen disclosure stays intact. The ideal candidate is a meticulous editor who follows a brand kit precisely and takes pride in clean, reliable delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

• Edit two long-form YouTube videos per week from raw footage into clean, finished episodes
• Remove pauses, false starts, and restarts, and stitch the best takes together seamlessly
• Preserve the script verbatim, with no cuts, trims, or paraphrasing of the spoken content
• Keep all on-screen disclosures and legal footers fully visible and untrimmed
• Add b-roll at transitions only, keeping the focus on the speaker
• Hand-correct all captions for accuracy rather than relying on auto-generated text
• Cut shorter versions of each video for social media channels
• Apply the brand kit exactly, including typography, colors, and graphic style
• Deliver finished work to a staging folder, then upload to YouTube with Editor-level access only after written sign-off
• Review the existing YouTube channel and share improvement suggestions before the client interview

Mandatory Skills:

• Proven experience editing long-form YouTube videos from raw footage
• Strong proficiency in professional video editing software such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro
• Experience with color grading
• Skilled at cleaning up talking-head footage, including removing pauses and restarts without altering the script
• Experience hand-correcting captions and subtitles
• Exceptional attention to detail and comfort working within a strict compliance and approval process
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Ability to follow a brand kit exactly
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work independently
• Strong communication skills

Preferred Skills:

• Thumbnail design experience in Canva, Photoshop, or similar tools
• Experience editing professional services, educational, or compliance-sensitive content
• Experience repurposing long-form videos into short-form clips for social platforms
• Familiarity with YouTube Studio, including role-based access and upload workflows
• Experience working from detailed style guides and brand kits
• Ability to offer constructive suggestions to improve a channel's content and presentation
