Full Time
PHP 55,000 - 70,000 per month
TBD
Aug 12, 2026
We are a US-based media company that produces YouTube content at scale. We are opening a small, dedicated editing office in Cebu and we are looking for ONE strong manager to run it.
This is a people-and-operations job AND a hands-on editing job. You will run the room, and you will also edit.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Recruit and build a team of 3-5 video editors here in Cebu City
- Edit videos yourself as part of the regular workflow — not just oversee others
- Run the daily workflow: assign work, hold deadlines, keep quality consistent
- Train the team to our style and standards (we provide the system and the scripts)
- Manage the workspace, the equipment and attendance
- Report once a day to our team abroad — you are our person on the ground
THE 3-WEEK TARGET
What we mean by this: 3 weeks from your start date to having the office running with 3 editors actively working in it. That covers choosing the building, getting equipment set up, recruiting editors, and onboarding them — not 3 weeks until you personally walk through the door.
That said, quality matters more than hitting the number exactly. We would rather have week 4 with three good editors than week 3 with two good ones and one warm body rushed in to hit a deadline. The last two hires especially are judged on fit and quality, not just speed.
This is exactly why an existing network of editors in Cebu is a real advantage — recruiting from a cold start while also setting up an office in 3 weeks is genuinely difficult.
WHAT WE NEED
- 3+ years managing a team of people (BPO, agency, production house, or similar) — tell us the size of the team you ran
- Hands-on video editing skills — you will personally edit, not just review. Tell us what software you use and share a portfolio
- Based in Cebu City, or ready to relocate. This role is on-site, not remote
- Excellent English, written and spoken
- Comfortable with project management tools (ClickUp, Trello, Asana or similar)
- NBI clearance and at least 2 references we can actually call
NICE TO HAVE
- Recruiting or hiring experience
- Experience with YouTube content
- Experience working inside a seat-lease / BPO facility
WHAT WE OFFER
- PHP 55,000 - 70,000 per month depending on experience
- Full-time, long-term, on-site in Cebu City
- You build your own team and grow with the office as it expands
HOW TO APPLY
Put the word CEBU at the top of your reply so we know you read this ad. Then send:
1. A short note about a team you built or managed, and how many people were in it
2. Your CV and a portfolio showing your own editing work
3. Your answer to this question: how would you recruit 4 good video editors in Cebu within 3 weeks?
Applications without the word CEBU at the top will not be reviewed.
