Job Description
We are looking for a skilled YouTube video editor to join our team.
Your main responsibility is to turn scripts and voiceovers into engaging, high-retention videos by selecting the right clips and editing them in a way that keeps viewers watching.
This is NOT high-end animation work or anything crazy advanced.
We are looking for someone who understands:
- pacing
- storytelling
- flow
- and how to keep videos interesting
Your Goal
Create videos that:
- are fast-paced and never boring
- match the script perfectly
- use the right clips at the right time
- maximize viewer retention and watch time
What You’ll Get
- Script
- Voiceover
- Clear SOP / guidelines
- Reference videos
Your Tasks
- Source and select relevant clips (stock / YouTube / movie clips etc.)
- Edit videos according to script and voiceover
- Maintain fast pacing and strong flow
- Add simple zooms, cuts, and visual changes
- Ensure smooth and clean editing
Important
This role is NOT about fancy effects.
It is about:
- choosing the right clips
- understanding timing
- keeping viewers engaged
Content & Copyright Awareness (VERY IMPORTANT)
You must understand how "YouTube reused content rules" work.
- Do NOT copy or reuse long clips
- All footage must be transformed and edited
- Clips are only used as supporting visuals, not as main content
- Videos must feel original and unique
We will provide SOPs for this, but you should already understand the basics.
Output Expectation
- 3 videos per day (on average), 20-30 min long each
- Consistent quality
- Fast turnaround
Requirements
- Proven experience in video editing (YouTube preferred)
- Strong understanding of pacing and storytelling
- Ability to match visuals to voiceover
- Good sense for engaging content (not boring)
- Understanding of YouTube reused content / copyright basics
- Ability to follow SOPs AND make your own decisions
- Reliable and consistent
Not a Fit If
- You are a beginner with 0 experience
- You rely heavily on templates
- You don’t understand pacing or retention
- You copy clips without transforming them
- You are not aware of YouTube content policies
Ideal Candidate
- Has edited YouTube videos before (faceless content, cash cow videos)
- Understands how to keep viewers watching
- Can work fast without losing quality
- Thinks like a content creator, not just an editor
Compensation
- To be discussed (based on experience)
- Opportunity for long-term work
- Potential for increased workload
- Bonuses for high performing videos with high retention!
How to Apply
Please include:
1. 2–3 examples of videos you edited
2. Brief explanation of your editing style
3. Your availability (hours per week)
4. Your expected rate
Final Note
We are building a long-term team.
If you understand how to create engaging, high-retention videos, this can turn into a long-term position with very lucrative incentives.
Please write “RETENTION” at the top of your application so we know you read everything.
