• Stay on top of trends, memes, and editing styles within digital‑first content to keep our shows fresh and culturally relevant
• Edit special projects and standout videos as needed (e.g., pilot episodes, or unique formats)
• Create thumbnails when needed to support performance and click‑through
• Own special projects from concept to execution (e.g., custom graph animations, logo recreations, experimental visuals)

Who You Are

• You obsess over your work, consistently delivering the highest‑quality work and doing what it takes to achieve brand and content goals
• You have proven experience editing YouTube or digital‑first content, with a portfolio or samples you’re proud to share
• Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects

• You’re deeply familiar with the YouTube platform and digital content landscape
• You’re a clear communicator, highly organized, and adaptable as priorities shift
• You’re fast—in a way that impresses people. When something is needed in the morning, it’s often delivered that same afternoon, and it’s done right
