Job Description


Video Editor: YouTube Growth Agency (Remote - LATAM & South Africa)

The Opportunity

We are a full-service YouTube content production agency. We manage YouTube channels for coaches, consultants, info product businesses, and agencies running seven-figure online businesses. We handle everything end-to-end: strategy, packaging, scripting, production management, editing, optimization, and publishing.

We are hiring a full-time Video Editor to own post-production across multiple client channels. You are the person who turns raw footage into videos that hold attention, build trust, and make the creator look like the authority they are. You own the edit from the moment raw files land in your inbox to the moment the final export is ready to publish.

What You’ll Be Doing

The core of this role is editing long-form YouTube content (10-25 minutes). You will work directly with the founder and the account management team daily.

Your Technical Scope Includes

  • Narrative Editing: Pacing talking-head content with B-roll, text overlays, and multi-camera setups to maintain high retention.
  • Sound Design & Mixing: Polishing audio, music selection/leveling, and impactful SFX.
  • Color Grading: Delivering consistent, professional grading matched to the creator’s brand.
  • Motion Graphics: Creating lower thirds, callouts, data visualizations, and transitions. There is no separate motion designer; this is your responsibility.
  • Output: Managing a baseline of 12-16 long-form videos per month.
  • Bonus: Experience with vertical YouTube Shorts or Meta video ads is a significant "nice to have."

Who You Are

  • Retention-Focused: You understand that editing is about keeping viewers engaged, not just making things look "cool."
  • Speed & Discipline: You can handle 12-16 videos a month without being sloppy. You have your toolkit dialed in and make strong creative decisions quickly.
  • End-to-End Specialist: You handle the full pipeline (edit, sound, color, graphics, and export) yourself.
  • Technical Proficiency: Premiere Pro is our primary platform and proficiency is strongly preferred.
  • Proactive Communicator: You manage your own calendar, flag issues early, and ensure nobody ever has to chase you for a status update.
  • Consumer of the Niche: You understand the online education/coaching world because you consume this content yourself.

Logistics & Compensation

  • Location: 100% Remote (Open to talent in LATAM and South Africa).
  • Type: Full-time.
  • Compensation: Competitive monthly fee. Details will be shared with candidates who move past the initial screening.
