YouTube Editor for Educational Fitness Channel (Long?Form + Shorts)

About us

I run an online coaching/education business helping people move better, get out of pain, and train smarter. We create long?form educational content on biomechanics, lifting, and injury?proofing, then cut it into shorts.
This is a long?term, full?time role for a PH?based editor who wants to grow with the channel, not a one?off project.
Role overview

You will own editing of our long?form YouTube videos (talking head + screen share + training footage) and cutting them into shorts/reels. You must be able to follow detailed notes and SOPs and turn around a strong V1 without guessing.

What you’ll do

- Edit 4–8 long?form YouTube videos per month
- Add B?roll, lower thirds, callouts, zooms, sound effects, and pattern?interrupts to keep retention high
- Create 5–10 shorts/reels per long video using hooks and templates
- Follow written edit notes and checklists for each video
- Organize project files and exports in our folder system
- Communicate daily with our small remote team via chat, Dropbox, and Loom

Must?haves

- Strong written and spoken English (you will read and implement detailed notes/SOPs)
- Proven experience editing educational / talking?head YouTube content (not just gaming or travel montages)
- Comfortable taking direct feedback and iterating quickly
- Can follow a checklist exactly and ask questions when something is unclear
- Stable internet and a machine that can handle 4K footage
- Able to work mostly within PH daytime / early evening with overlap to US Pacific time

Nice?to?haves

- Interest in fitness, lifting, biomechanics, or rehab
- Experience creating short?form content from long?form
- Basic thumbnail sense is a plus (not required)

Salary & terms

- Full?time, PH?based role
- Expected range: $ ---------- USD / month, depending on experience and portfolio
