Video Editor (YouTube & Short-Form Content)

Location: Remote

Type: Full-Time

About The Company

We are a fast-growing digital media brand at the intersection of technology, creativity, and culture.

Our content explores how modern technology shapes everyday life — from consumer tech and AI to creative workflows and business innovation. What started as a YouTube channel has evolved into a broader platform focused on thoughtful, engaging, and high-quality storytelling.

We are now looking for a Video Editor who is highly proficient in DaVinci Resolve and understands both narrative-driven YouTube content and platform-native short-form storytelling.

The Opportunity

This is not a high-volume, low-quality editing role.

• Shape narrative flow, pacing, and structure
• Ensure content is engaging, cohesive, and aligned with the brand voice

Short-Form Content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)

• Build and maintain a backlog for daily posting
• Optimize edits per platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts)

Creative Contribution

• Identify and enhance storytelling moments
• Suggest improvements in pacing, structure, and deliveryuliar?>
• Apply trends thoughtfully without over-editing

Collaboration & Workflow

• Work within remote editing systems (Slack, Frame.io, LucidLink)
• Manage large media files efficiently
• Communicate clearly and consistently with the team

Editing Style Expectations

• Not cinematic/film-style
• Not hyperactive “MrBeast-style”
• Instead:
• Clean
• Intentional
• Story-first
• Social-native

You should understand how to retain attention without overwhelming the viewer.
