We're a US-based marketing agency hiring a full-time video editor on behalf of one of our clients: a growing YouTube channel that publishes a weekly long-form interview show, plus short-form content promoting it across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- Edit 1 long-form interview episode per week (60-90 min raw, multi-cam): cuts, pacing, audio cleanup, music, intro/outro, graphics and titles
- Cut 10-15 short-form clips per week from each episode: vertical format, hook-first editing, animated captions, retention-style pacing
- Create simple motion graphics, lower thirds, and episode title cards
- Suggest clip ideas - we want an editor who can spot the viral moment in an episode, not just execute notes
- Occasionally edit promo assets (trailers, channel teasers)
REQUIREMENTS:
- 2+ years editing experience with a portfolio of podcast/interview edits AND short-form vertical clips (both required - please link examples of each)
- Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve; CapCut fine for shorts
- Strong sense of pacing and retention editing (you know why a short holds attention past 3 seconds)
- Good audio cleanup skills (podcast audio must sound clean)
- Reliable internet + machine that can handle multi-cam 1080p/4K
- Can deliver on a consistent weekly schedule and communicate proactively in English (written)
- Available for some overlap with US Eastern time
NICE TO HAVE:
- Thumbnail design
- Experience growing a channel's Shorts/Reels presence
- After Effects
HOW TO APPLY:
Start your application with the word "LIGHTHOUSE" so we know you read this. Include: (1) a link to a long-form podcast episode you edited, (2) 2-3 short-form clips you cut, and (3) your expected monthly salary. Applications without all three will not be reviewed.
This is a long-term, stable full-time role with 13th month pay for the right person.
