About the Role
I’m looking for a video editor to help edit YouTube content for a creator-led channel focused on AI tools, startups, product building, design workflows, and real-world experiments.
The work will include both long-form YouTube videos and short-form clips for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. You should be comfortable turning raw recordings into clear, engaging videos that keep people watching.
This is a contract role to start, with the potential to become ongoing if the fit is strong.

- Create short-form clips from longer videos
- Add pacing, zooms, captions, music, b-roll, screenshots, and visual emphasis where needed
- Help shape hooks, intros, retention moments, and endings
- Package videos so the final output feels clear, sharp, and native to YouTube
- Work with feedback and improve the editing style over time
What I’m Looking For
- Strong experience editing YouTube videos, especially long-form content
- Ability to edit short-form clips that grab attention quickly
- Good sense of pacing, storytelling, and retention
- Comfortable editing screen-recorded software/product content
- Taste for clean, modern creator/business content
- Ability to work independently and make smart creative decisions
- Reliable communication and delivery timelines
Nice to Have
- Experience editing AI, SaaS, startup, design, or tech content
- Understanding of YouTube retention and short-form hooks
- Ability to suggest better clip ideas from raw footage
- Motion graphics or lightweight animation skills
- Thumbnail or title packaging instincts
How to Apply
Please send:
- 2-3 examples of long-form YouTube videos you edited
- 2-3 examples of short-form clips you edited
- Your usual rate or package pricing
- A short note on how you approach editing for retention
Bonus: Share one YouTube channel whose editing style you think works really well and why.
