TBD
Aug 3, 2026
We are a US-based media company that produces long-form YouTube content at scale. We are opening a small, dedicated editing office in Cebu City and we are looking for ONE strong manager to run it.
This is primarily a people-and-operations role, with hands-on editing as a backup skill — not a full-time editing job.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Recruit and build a team of 3-5 video editors here in Cebu City
- Manage 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)
- Judge editing quality and catch issues before they ship
- Step in and edit yourself when someone is out sick, or when something urgent needs to get done — not a daily requirement
- Manage the workspace, the equipment and attendance
- Report once a day to our team abroad — you are our person on the ground
WHAT WE NEED
- ON-SITE IN CEBU CITY, EVERY WORKING DAY. This is not remote and not hybrid — if you cannot commit to being physically present every working day, please do not apply
- Experience as a team lead, lead editor, or someone who has supervised editors, managed workflow, or done QA/review on a team's output — tell us what that looked like
- Basic-to-solid hands-on video editing ability — enough to judge quality and step in when needed. You do NOT need to be a world-class editor or edit every day. Adobe Premiere Pro / After Effects preferred. Tell us what software you use and share a portfolio/reel
- Based in Cebu City, or ready to relocate before starting
- 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
- 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 or workflow you led, supervised, or did QA on, and how many people were involved
2. Your CV and a portfolio or reel showing your own long-form YouTube editing work
3. Your answer to this question: how would you recruit 4 good video editors in Cebu within 3 weeks?
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a small paid test/trial task before a final decision.
Applications without the word CEBU at the top will not be reviewed.
