Job description

About KNWN Local

We run YouTube channels, email newsletters, and social content for 100+ real estate professionals. Full service. Done for you. Our clients close $10M to $1B+ in sales a year. Most of them will tell you their channel is the single best marketing investment they've ever made.

Last month, 30 clients reported wins. 373+ leads. $85M-$100M+ in attributable sales. And we're growing every month.

We're not a freelancer marketplace or a content mill. We run pods. Each pod is strategist, junior strategist, YouTube manager, plus editors, writers, and designers. One team. 15+ clients. That pod owns everything.

We're scaling from 100 clients to 300 to 1,000+. That means more pods, more editors, and more people who can ship quality work on deadline without anyone hovering.

If you're reading this and thinking "that sounds like a lot," good. It is. Keep reading.

Role

You edit real estate YouTube videos that generate leads, build trust, and drive millions in sales for our clients. Direct-to-camera, area tours, market updates, agent expertise. You take raw footage and turn it into something people actually watch to the end.

You'll work within a pod under a YouTube Manager, alongside strategists, writers, and designers. You're not working in a vacuum. You're part of a production system that ships 4 videos per client per month across 15+ clients per pod.

The standard is high. The turnaround is fast. If that excites you more than it scares you, keep reading.

Responsibilities

• Edit and deliver 2 videos per week during your 60-day trial, ramping to 3+ per week once fully onboarded. Consistent 72-hour turnaround times.
• QC your own work against our editing checklist before submitting. Your manager shouldn't be catching mistakes you could have caught yourself.
• Communicate daily, promptly, and often. If you go quiet, that's a problem.
• Report progress daily and align priorities to maintain seamless workflows.
• Conduct retention reviews on your edits. What held attention, what didn't, and what you're changing next time.
• Conduct competitor analysis and trend research to stay ahead of what's working on YouTube right now.
• Keep project files and asset management organized and up to date. If someone else needs to find your files, they should be able to.
• Share editing resources (motion graphics templates, intros, assets) with other team members. Hoarding slows everyone down.
• Identify potential challenges early and communicate solutions before they become problems.
• Provide feedback on raw footage to the production team so future shoots give you better material to work with.
• Collaborate with team members to create engaging promotional content from long‑form edits.
• Contribute to data collection, video retention graphs, and post‑mortem reviews for continuous improvement.
• Offer constructive revision feedback to other editors on their work.
• Monitor client channels for performance metrics and optimization opportunities.

Requirements

• Minimum 2-3 years of professional editing experience. A portfolio showcasing your best work is required.
• Strong proficiency in DaVinci Resolve. Familiarity with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects is a plus.
• You'll work in DaVinci Resolve, Frame.io, Notion, and Dropbox daily. You don't need to be an expert in all of them on day 1 but you need to learn fast.
• Solid foundation in motion graphics, or a willingness to learn fast and integrate on‑brand graphics quickly.
• You can balance speed and quality. We ship weekly. Every video needs to meet brand standards and hit deadline.
• You take feedback well and give it well. Revisions are part of the process, not a personal attack.
• You experiment with new tools, workflows, and approaches without being asked.

Results

• 90%+ on‑time delivery rate. Every month, 90% or more of your videos hit deadline.
• 3 videos delivered per week (12+ per month) once fully ramped.
• 90%+ manager approval rate on V1 submissions. Your first drafts come back with minor notes, not major revisions.
• 90%+ client approval rate on final videos. Clients approve with minimal or no revisions.
• Maintain strong retention and watch time metrics across your edits. If average retention is dropping, you're the first one diagnosing why.
• Support a consistent publishing cadence by maintaining a healthy backlog of ready‑to‑go content. The pipeline should never be empty because of you.
• Contribute to growing client channels toward 100-1,000 subscribers per month and 5-50+ leads per month per client.

Location

Remote. Work from anywhere with reliable internet.

Compensation

$24,000 to $36,000+ USD/year. Pay based on volume output, skill, and experience. All positions start with a 60‑day paid trial to ensure mutual fit.

• Flexible remote work environment
• Work with 100+ established real estate clients generating $10M+ annually
• Part of a growing team of 65+ creative professionals
• Structured production system with clear processes and support
• Growth opportunities into creative leadership roles
• For people who perform, there's growth potential.

KNWN Local Core Values

The known agent wins. Our job is to make sure there's one in every city.

These aren't wall art. They determine who gets hired, who gets promoted, and who doesn't make it.

Put People First

Clients and teammates. Both matter equally. We treat people with care and respect because when they succeed, we succeed. Not the other way around.

Always Dependable

When a project lands on your desk, it gets done. On time. Done right. No chasing. No reminding. Our clients trust us with their business. Our team trusts you with theirs. Can they?

Be The Best

Stay curious. Learn fast. Change behavior when the evidence says to. We hire people who never stop improving and we expect you to take care of our most valuable clients better than anyone else in your role could. Full stop.

One Team, One Mission

We speak up honestly. We treat feedback as a gift, not a threat. We win together or we don't win. How well we work together is how fast we grow. That's not a slogan. It's math.

Compensation Range: $24K - $36K+ USD/year
