YouTube Video Podcast Editor

Role (Overview of the Position)
Fertility Friday Publishing — a High-Level Women's Health and Fertility Coaching Business — is looking for a skilled YouTube Video Podcast Editor to join our content production team on a per-video basis.

We are launching a video podcast on YouTube and need an editor who can take raw podcast recordings and turn them into polished, professional, engaging video episodes. Our episodes will be 10 to 20 minutes and will feature multi-camera setups.

This is an execution-focused, deliverable-based role. You will receive raw footage, audio files, and creative direction, and you will deliver completed, publish-ready YouTube videos on a consistent schedule. Thoughtful creative input is welcome — if you see a way to make the final product better, we want to hear it — but the heart of this role is reliable, high-quality editing output, not strategy or content planning.

It's a great fit for someone who takes pride in clean, professional edits, has a sharp eye for pacing and visual quality, delivers on time without reminders, and enjoys the craft of making videos that hold a viewer's attention.

Responsibilities (Tasks Associated with the Role)
- Editing raw podcast video recordings (10–20 minutes) into polished, publish-ready YouTube episodes.
- Seamlessly syncing and cutting between multiple camera angles to create a dynamic, professional viewing experience.
- Syncing audio and video tracks cleanly, ensuring perfect alignment throughout.
- Adding on-brand graphics, lower thirds, text overlays, background images, and visual elements that enhance the content without cluttering it.
- Creating and maintaining a branded video intro (approximately 15–30 seconds) and outro, and applying them consistently across episodes.
- Color correcting and adjusting footage for a clean, consistent visual quality.
- Exporting final videos in YouTube-optimized formats and specs.
- Incorporating revision notes promptly and accurately.
- Designing eye-catching YouTube thumbnails for each episode that are on-brand, visually compelling, and optimized for click-through (strong plus — not required, but a significant advantage).
- Communicating any issues, questions, or delays proactively — before the deadline, not after.

Requirements (Expected Proficiencies)
- Minimum 2 years of experience editing podcast or interview-style videos for YouTube — this is non-negotiable. We need someone who already knows how to edit this content format and can demonstrate it.
- Proficient in professional editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent).
- Demonstrated skill with multi-camera editing — syncing, cutting between angles, and maintaining a natural flow.
- Competent with motion graphics, text overlays, lower thirds, and visual enhancements (After Effects, Canva, or similar tools are a plus).
- Strong audio-video sync skills and basic audio cleanup ability.
- Reliable and accountable — you meet deadlines, communicate clearly, and own your work, including mistakes.
- A try-first problem-solver — when something is unclear, you make a reasonable attempt or do your own research before asking, and when you do ask, the question is specific.
- Comfortable receiving direct feedback and revision notes without taking it personally — you see revisions as part of producing great work.
- Fluent enough in written English for clear communication via email and project management tools.
- Experience with YouTube upload specs, formats, and best practices.
- Experience designing YouTube thumbnails (Canva, Photoshop, or similar) is a strong plus — if you can deliver both the edit and the thumbnail, that's a significant advantage.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted editing tools is a plus, but not required.


What We're Not Looking For:
This role is not a fit if you:
- Have experience only with short-form social media clips (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) but not long-form YouTube video editing.
- Prefer to work without deadlines or structured feedback cycles.
- Are looking for a strategy or creative director role — this is hands-on editing work.
- Cannot provide links to published YouTube videos you have edited.

How Success is Measured in this Role:
- Turnaround Time — Completed edits are delivered within the agreed timeframe, consistently and without reminders.
- Edit Quality — Videos are polished, cuts are clean and natural, audio is perfectly synced, graphics are on-brand, and the final product looks professional upon first delivery.
- Responsiveness & Communication — Messages are replied to within 24 hours. Blockers, delays, or questions are raised proactively and specifically — before the deadline is missed, not after.
- Revision Turnaround — Revision notes are incorporated accurately and returned promptly, without the same corrections needing to be repeated.

How to Apply
To be considered for this position, please submit the following:
- Complete the application form (all questions completed): ----------
- Link to your CV / resume.
- Links to 1–2 YouTube channels or specific YouTube videos where you did the editing. This is required. We want to see your actual published work — the quality, pacing, graphics, and camera-angle cuts in a real video. Please link directly to the YouTube video(s).
