Hiring: Long-Form YouTube Video Editor (Full-Time / Long-Term)
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for an experienced long-form YouTube editor to join us long-term.
We’ve gone through a lot of portfolios already, so we’re being very selective this time. We’re looking for someone who genuinely understands YouTube and can produce videos that keep people watching.
Editing Style
The quality we’re aiming for is heavily inspired by:
Aevy TV
Vox
MagnatesMedia
Metromedia House (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaIoeJuhUOE/?igsh=M2NxajR4azY3amFv
We understand these channels have dedicated motion designers and larger production teams, so we’re not expecting the exact same amount of motion graphics.
However, we do expect you to match the same level of storytelling, pacing, retention, visual quality, and overall editing philosophy. Moderate motion graphics are mandatory and should be used wherever they genuinely improve the viewing experience.
This role is primarily for editors based in India.
If you’re an international editor and you’re comfortable working within this budget, you’re absolutely welcome to apply as well—we’re happy to consider exceptional talent regardless of location.
We’re looking for someone interested in building a long-term working relationship as the channel grows.
What We’re Looking For
You should be able to consistently deliver:
High-retention YouTube edits.
Fast-paced, engaging videos.
Strong storytelling.
Moderate motion graphics.
Clean, polished edits with very few mistakes.
Excellent use of B-roll, stock footage, graphics, text animation, music, and sound design.
Editing decisions based on viewer psychology—not just making things look flashy.
Think like a YouTube editor, not just someone who cuts clips together.
Stay updated with current YouTube editing trends and continuously improve.
As part of the hiring process, every shortlisted applicant will be asked to edit a 50 second segment from a real project we’re currently working on. This helps us evaluate everyone’s skills under the same conditions using actual production footage.
How to Apply
Please DM me with:

Your availability

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in creating videos that people actually watch until the end—not just videos that look good.
If you believe you can deliver edits on the level of Aevy TV, Vox, MagnatesMedia, and Metromedia House, we’d love to hear from you.
