About the Job

The biggest part of this job is storytelling.

You'll take gameplay and commentary that can sometimes be scattered and turn it into a fast-paced, cohesive 10–15 minute video. You should be able to recognize what matters, remove dead space, rearrange footage when needed, and make sure the finished video always makes sense to the viewer.

We want someone who can add to the entertainment value, not just cut footage. This includes graphics, text, animations, sound effects, music, memes, zooms, visual jokes, and anything else that makes a moment funnier, clearer, or more engaging.

The channel has a female-leaning audience and visual identity, so the graphics and overall editing style should reflect that. Please use the three attached reference videos as your primary guide for the pacing, energy, graphics, and overall feel we're looking for.

You'll work with our Senior Editor, who has been with us for several years and will handle quality control and feedback. We're looking for someone who can learn the style quickly and eventually work with minimal revisions. PROJECTS SHARED IN PREMIERE PRO.

Ideal Candidate

You understand YouTube pacing, retention, comedic timing, and storytelling and have experience editing gaming, entertainment, or personality-driven content.

You're creative and comfortable making your own editing decisions. If something in the raw footage isn't completely clear or entertaining, your instinct should be to figure out how to improve it rather than simply leaving it as-is.

You communicate clearly, meet deadlines, take feedback well, and are interested in developing an ongoing working relationship rather than picking up a one-off project.

High fluency in English is required

because understanding conversational commentary, humor, and context is a major part of the edit.
