Video Editor

We are looking for a skilled Video Editor to support the creation of weekly video content for a finance-focused YouTube channel and related social platforms. The ideal candidate will take raw footage (filmed by the client) and produce polished, modern, corporate-style videos. The role includes editing long-form videos (5–15 minutes), repurposing content into shorts/reels, and occasionally editing longer podcast-style interviews (up to 1 hour). Branding guidelines may not be fully established yet, so the editor should be comfortable developing visual styles from scratch with guidance from the client.

• Repurpose long-form content into short-form versions (reels/shorts).

• Build videos from scratch using the client’s direction (no pre-existing branding kit).

• Perform basic audio cleanup, remove dead errors, add text overlays as needed.

• Edit occasional one-hour podcast episodes (less complex editing).

• Good communication skills for aligning on style and requirements.

• Reliable and able to meet weekly publishing deadlines.

Tools Required:

• The candidate may use any professional tools they are already comfortable with

• No specific tool is mandated as long as the output meets quality expectations.

Shifts & Hours:

• Starting with minimum of 10 hours per week; flexible work schedule

  • Content simply needs to be delivered before agreed release deadlines.

  • 1 long-form video (5–15 min)

  • 3–4 short clips (reels)
