  • Structure videos to maximize watch time, audience engagement, and subscriber growth
  • Incorporate graphics, B-roll, music, sound design, and motion elements to elevate production quality
  • Collaborate with the marketing team on thumbnails, titles, and overall YouTube strategy
  • Review YouTube analytics and recommend ways to improve watch time, retention, click-through rate, and channel performance
  • Organize project files and maintain an efficient post-production workflow

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional video editing experience, preferably with podcasts, documentaries, YouTube, or branded content.

  • Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro with advanced knowledge of After Effects, Audition, and Photoshop.
  • Exceptional storytelling instincts with the ability to shape compelling narratives from long-form footage.
  • Strong understanding of YouTube audience retention, pacing, and viewer psychology.

  • Experience managing large media libraries, proxy workflows, and efficient project organization.
  • Skilled at collaborating with producers, creators, and creative directors while incorporating feedback efficiently.
  • Proven track record of producing videos that drive meaningful audience growth, watch time, and engagement.
  • Excellent project management skills with the ability to prioritize multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
