About List25

List25 is one of YouTube's longest-running list-style channels with millions of subscribers and billions of views. We produce fast-paced, entertaining long-form videos packed with facts, storytelling, and energy. We're looking for an editor who can match that pace and take our production quality to the next level.

The Role

You'll edit long-form YouTube videos from raw footage to a polished, publish-ready final cut. You know how to keep a viewer engaged through smart pacing, well-timed graphics, and a tight narrative flow. Retention isn't just a metric to you - it's a craft.

What You'll Do

• Edit long-form YouTube videos from rough cut to final export, ready to publish
• Sync voiceover, music, and sound effects to create a compelling audio-visual experience
• Add motion graphics, lower thirds, text overlays, and on-screen elements that match our style
• Maintain a strong sense of pacing - cutting to keep energy high and viewers watching
• Color grade footage for a consistent, polished look across all videos
• Collaborate with our script and production team on style, transitions, and visual storytelling
• Incorporate feedback quickly and efficiently across revision rounds

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience editing YouTube long-form content - portfolio links are required
• Strong understanding of YouTube retention: you know what makes viewers drop off and how to prevent it
• Proficient in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve
• Skilled at syncing narration-driven edits with b-roll, graphics, and music
• An eye for pacing - you instinctively know when a cut is a half-second too late
• Experience with motion graphics (After Effects a strong plus)
• Reliable with deadlines and comfortable working async in a remote team

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with List25's existing style and format
• Experience with list-style or trivia/education YouTube content
• Basic sound design or audio mixing skills
• Ability to create or animate simple graphics without a separate motion designer
