We are seeking a video editor for a large YouTube creator who operates a progressive political channel centered on the news cycle. This editor will directly assist the creator in editing raw videos into daily content for YouTube, TikTok, and across socials. The goal of this editor position is to assist the creator in producing consistent content at a consistent pace.
We seek an editor who is a great communicator and can work quickly and intuitively. This person should have a creative bent, with an eye for balanced imagery, and a strong sense of both what “looks good” and (sometimes more important!) what “looks bad.” We would like to review samples of work- videos either shot and/or edited, and it would be helpful to know what was done for each sample.
The content produced is time-sensitive and must be turned around in a timely and efficient manner. The estimated workload is approx. 3-4 hours per day, between the hours of 9-5pm Eastern, Monday - Friday. The output is 3-5 approximately 10-minute videos per day, plus a Short (and TikTok) cut down from each video. This is work that can be done remotely, though someone located in the DC-area would potentially have additional work available to them.
A longer-term goal is for this position is to find someone who can be relied upon to intuitively edit and post content independently, and take some creative ownership over the content, especially with the Shorts and cut downs for socials.
Salary will be commensurate with experience. This position has an additional benefit in that this person will gain immeasurable knowledge of the YouTube Creator world and the innerworkings of a creator career in its various facets.

- Need to be skilled at Adobe Premier, Photoshop, After Effects (in that order)
- Fast-paced editing skills
- Rapid, daily turnaround Monday - Friday
- Need to mark and notate sources
- Thumbnail creation and titling
- Social media experience and skills a huge plus
- Videos sized, edited, and posted for Shorts, TikTok, IG, FB
