I’m looking for a skilled, dependable, and detail-oriented YouTube video editor to join my team on an on-call / as-needed basis.
This is a long-term opportunity for the right person, but hours are not guaranteed each week. Work will be assigned whenever new videos are ready to edit. This role is ideal for an editor who already has other clients and wants to add a reliable, recurring client with clear standards and a straightforward workflow.
I’m looking for someone who takes pride in clean, professional edits and understands how to make educational YouTube videos engaging without overdoing effects.
What You’ll Be Editing
You’ll mainly be editing:
Talking-head educational and informational YouTube videos
Content focused on clarity, pacing, and audience retention
Videos that need to feel polished, professional, and easy to watch
This is not a flashy “MrBeast-style” editing role. I want edits that are clean, modern, and effective.

Thumbnail Design
Create high-click, professional YouTube thumbnails
Use strong contrast, clean layouts, and readable text

Match the tone and branding of the channel
What I’m Looking For
At least 2 years of YouTube video editing experience
Strong understanding of viewer retention, pacing, and storytelling
Experience editing talking-head, educational, or commentary-style content
Good eye for clean, clickable thumbnail design
Strong English comprehension
Reliable communication and quick response time
Detail-oriented and able to follow instructions closely
Open to feedback and committed to improving over time
Able to work independently without constant supervision
Technical Requirements
Stable internet connection
Quiet, distraction-free home workspace
Computer or laptop capable of smooth video editing

To confirm you read everything carefully, start your application with the word: RETENTION
Important
This role is best for someone who wants a long-term working relationship, values consistency, communicates well, and can deliver solid work every time a project is assigned.
If you are dependable, creative, and understand how to make YouTube content more engaging while keeping it clean and professional, I’d love to hear from you.
