JOB OVERVIEW

LONG FORM YOUTUBE EDITOR WANTED (RETENTION FOCUSED, FITNESS/PERSONAL BRAND)

ABOUT THE CHANNEL

I run DobsTrainingClub, an online 1 to 1 fitness coaching business.
Ex British Army, now based in Bali, coaching a UK client base.
12k on Instagram and launching the YouTube channel now.

The content is a mix of fat loss education, my own story, and client
interviews. Talking head led, story driven, built to hold attention.
I want one editor who owns this channel long term, not a rotation of
freelancers.

WHAT YOU'LL BE EDITING

8 to 15 minute long form videos, roughly 4 per month to start.
Talking head pieces to camera (Sony ZV E10 footage)
Sit down client interviews
Story led personal brand videos

WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS TO ME

Retention. Not transitions, not colour grading, not showing off.
Every cut should earn the next 10 seconds.

That means:
Tight pacing with no dead air
Pattern interrupts before attention drops
B roll, screenshots and text on screen used to hold the point, not decorate it
Sound design and music that carries energy without burying the voice
Captions that are clean and readable, never cluttering the frame

If you can look at a video and tell me where people are dropping off and
why, you are the person I want.

HOW WE'LL WORK

Everything lands in a Google Drive folder: raw footage, the script, and a
reference video I want the edit to feel like. Your job is to replicate that
reference closely, then bring your own judgement on top.

Footage in by Wednesday. First cut back the following Wednesday.
Two rounds of revisions, timestamped notes both ways.

Questions, missing footage and b roll requests go through my content
manager, not to me directly. You'll have someone to ask, so you're never
stuck waiting.

REQUIREMENTS

2+ years editing long form YouTube content
Premiere Pro, Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve
Strong written English, comfortable with async communication
Reliable internet and your own machine
Portfolio of real published YouTube videos, not a showreel

NICE TO HAVE

Thumbnail design
Fitness, coaching or personal brand niche experience
Motion graphics
Short form editing as well

Paid PER VIDEO.

HOW TO APPLY

Send me the following ----------

1. Three links to long form YouTube videos you edited. Tell me exactly
which parts were yours.
2. One video you did NOT edit, and 3 things you'd change in the first
30 seconds to stop people clicking off.
3. Put the word GSTK at the top of your message so I know you read this
properly. Applications without it get deleted.

Shortlisted applicants get a paid test edit on real footage before
anything is agreed.
