I'm a YouTube creator in the beauty and lifestyle space looking for a reliable, creative video editor to join my team on a per-project (per-gig) basis. This is NOT an hourly role — you'll be paid a flat rate per finished video.
About the content you'll be editing:
I produce four categories of video content, and you'll be quoting a flat rate for each:
Short-form content (60 seconds – 3 minutes): Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts
Short horizontal videos (5 – 15 minutes): Tutorials, sit-down videos
Mid-length videos (20 – 30 minutes): Talking-head videos, mini vlogs
Long-form YouTube videos (45 – 60 minutes): Lifestyle vlogs
What I need from you (required):
Proven experience editing YouTube content for lifestyle, beauty, or similar female-focused creators (please share links to your best work)
Proficiency in at least one of: Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve
Strong sense of pacing — you know how to cut out filler, keep retention high, and make talking-head videos feel dynamic
Experience editing across multiple formats: vertical short-form (9:16) AND horizontal long-form (16:9)
Ability to add tasteful b-roll placement, subtle motion graphics, clean text overlays, captions/subtitles, color grading, and audio balancing
Reliable communication — responds to messages and
Able to meet agreed-upon deadlines consistently
Stable internet and a computer capable of handling 4K footage
Willingness to learn and use

- Previous experience with
- Experience with thumbnail design
- Familiarity with YouTube trends, hooks, and retention strategies (especially for lifestyle/beauty audiences)
- Experience with sound design / licensed music libraries (Epidemic Sound, Artlist, etc.)
- Ability to repurpose long-form content into short-form (e.g., pulling Shorts/Reels from a vlog)
- Ability to match an established brand aesthetic after reviewing reference videos
Workflow:
- Raw footage delivered via WeTransfer
- All review rounds happen in
- Turnaround time agreed per project based on video category (typically 3–7 days depending on length)
- Payment via [your preferred method — e.g., Wise, PayPal]
How to apply — please include ALL of the following (applications missing any of these will be ignored):

Which editing software you use
Your flat rate per video for each category:

The word "lipstick" at the top of your application so I know you actually read this
Looking forward to finding a long-term creative partner. If the first gig goes well, there's consistent ongoing work available — I publish regularly across all four categories.
