Long-Form YouTube Documentary Video Editor for Business / Money / History Channel

We are launching a faceless YouTube documentary channel focused on business empires, money, power, scandals, luxury brands, frauds, hidden economics, psychology, and historical stories.

We need a long-form YouTube video editor who can create cinematic, engaging documentary-style videos from scripts and voiceovers.

This is not a short-form reels job. We need someone who can make business and history topics visually interesting using strong pacing, stock footage, archival visuals, screenshots, charts, maps, motion graphics, text highlights, music, and sound design.

The style should feel closer to premium YouTube documentaries and business explainers, not cheap YouTube automation.

-Make complex business topics feel engaging and easy to follow
-Create strong opening sequences that hold attention
-Help improve retention through pacing and visual storytelling
-Work with our team through revisions

Paid test task:
Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a paid editing test using:
-a short script excerpt
-voiceover
-reference style
-rough visual direction
-The test will likely be a 60–90 second edited sample.
