READ THIS FIRST. DO NOT APPLY IF YOU ARE NOT WORLD CLASS
If you are a “good editor”, a “badass editor”, or “still improving”… this is NOT for you.
I am Stefan, founder of Status Alpha, a high ticket mentorship for men who want elite body, energy, mindset and performance.
I am looking for ONE editor who is so good that:
• You would be hired full time by companies like Alex Hormozi’s
• You are already operating at a pro, high end agency level
• You look at most YouTube or Instagram edits and think “I can do better than that easily”
If that is not you, stop reading.
This is NOT a learning role.
This is NOT a “grow with us” role.
This is a seat for a PRO who already knows how to deliver world class editing and thumbnails and just needs the right brand and volume.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
You will OWN the final look and performance of our video content. Not as a “button pusher”, but as the person responsible for making our content compete with the best on the internet.
### 1) World class short form editing Reels, Shorts, TikToks
• Take raw 4K talking head and B roll and turn it into
• Hook driven, high retention vertical videos
• With perfect pacing, snappy cuts, silence removed, and no “dead” frames
• Use
• Kinetic typography and on screen text that actually helps retention, not clutter
• Smart zooms, crops, reframes and push ins that feel intentional
• Pattern interrupts, b roll,
• You understand retention graphs, mid roll drops and what keeps people watching in the first three seconds.
### 2) High end long form editing YouTube, trainings, VSLs
• Edit ten to sixty plus minute videos into
• Clean, engaging long form with strong cold opens and no dead air
• Logical chapters
• Seamless transitions and visual variety to keep attention
• Combine
• A roll talking head
• B roll gym, lifestyle, screen shares, social proof
• On screen graphics, lower thirds, callouts, subtle effects
Your long form edits feel like a Netflix documentary or a top tier YouTube channel, not a random Zoom recording.
### 3) Thumbnail creation that DRIVES CLICKS
• Design high performance thumbnails that
• Are readable at a glance on mobile
• Have clear subject separation and strong contrast
• Use composition and text that make people click
• You already study and model
• Top business, fitness and education thumbnails on YouTube
• Data from click through rate and retention
• You know how to
• Choose the perfect frame
• Clean up the subject with light retouching if needed
• Use text two to four words max that hits pain or curiosity
### 4) Sound design and polish
• Clean audio denoise, EQ, compression
• Add music where needed and know when NOT to
• Mix levels so voice, music and effects are perfectly balanced
• Sync sound effects with motion for punch
### 5) Quality control and over delivery
• You never ship a “good enough” edit.
• Every video you touch
• You compare it to the top one to three videos in that topic on YouTube and Instagram
• You ask: “If I saw this in my own feed, would I stop and watch or click”
• You catch
• Typos in on screen text
• Weird cuts, jumpy zooms, bad framing
• Awkward transitions
You are proud enough of your work to put it in your reel next to the biggest channels in the world.
### 6) Collaboration and speed
• You work from clear briefs we have a Content Operating System and clip briefs
• You communicate clearly
• What you need
• What is blocking you
• Where you see opportunities
• You can handle
• Multiple edits in parallel
• Tight deadlines
• Direct feedback without taking it personally
---
REQUIREMENTS NON NEGOTIABLE
• You are a PRO editor. Period.
• You have at least three plus years of full time editing experience for
• YouTube channels
• Serious personal brands
• Agencies or media teams
• You can point to
• Specific videos with one hundred thousand plus views you edited ideally more
• Channels you have worked on that you are not embarrassed to show

• You understand
• Storytelling setup, tension, payoff
• Hook writing and pattern interrupts

---
THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR
• Beginners or “still learning” editors
• People who only cut simple vlogs without B roll or motion
• Wedding editors with no social media experience
• Editors who wait for the client to tell them every tiny detail
• Anyone who is scared of direct, honest feedback and high expectations
---
SCHEDULE AND PAY
• Full time remote
• Forty hours per week we move fast and publish a lot
• Five hundred fifty to seven hundred fifty US dollars per month to start
• Five hundred fifty US dollars in month one
• If speed and quality are at the highest level, we increase after the first month
This is a long term role only. If you are good, you will grow with the brand.
Yes, the starting pay is low for the level I am asking for. I know that.
This is for someone who
• Wants to lock in a long term, stable role
• Believes in the upside of being the main editor for a brand that will blow up
• Is willing to prove their skill and then grow fast with us
