Job Summary: We're set on hiring a skilled and detail-focused Video Editor to turn long-form talking-head footage into polished, engaging YouTube videos. This role centers on clean, calm, professional editing that keeps content clear and easy to watch. The right candidate has a strong eye for pacing, a feel for on-screen text and branding, and the ability to work independently while staying true to a specific visual style.

Key Responsibilities:

• Edit long-form talking-head footage into finished YouTube videos (roughly 15 minutes long from 30 minutes of raw footage)
• Trim and cut silences, pauses, stumbles, water breaks, and other unnecessary segments for a smooth final cut
• Add clean, on-brand text overlays using provided brand fonts and style guidelines
• Keep a calm, uncluttered editing style that steers clear of chaotic effects or heavy overlays
• Hold pacing and flow consistent so content stays clear and easy to follow
• Apply brand fonts and visual elements consistently across all videos
• Work directly with the content creator to refine and match their preferred editing style over time
• Design YouTube thumbnails that fit the channel's aesthetic (optional, based on candidate strengths)
• Edit audio-based meditation content by pairing recorded audio with provided music (potential future add-on)

Mandatory Skills:

• Proven experience editing long-form video content, particularly talking-head or educational-style videos
• Proficiency in a professional video editing tool such as CapCut, Final Cut Pro, or similar
• Strong ability to add clean, well-placed text overlays and follow brand guidelines
• Excellent sense of pacing, timing, and visual flow
• Sharp attention to detail in trimming, cutting, and refining raw footage
• Dependable, detail-focused, and able to work independently
• Strong communication skills and quick responsiveness

Preferred Skills:

• Experience designing YouTube thumbnails
• Familiarity with editing audio content or pairing audio with music (e.g., meditations, podcasts)
• Experience producing calm, wellness, or lifestyle-style content
• A grasp of YouTube best practices and audience engagement
• Able to take on additional creative and administrative tasks as the role grows

Why Join Us: This is a wonderful chance to work closely with a passionate content creator and play a key role in bringing meaningful, calming content to life. You'll enjoy creative input, a collaborative working relationship, and room to grow into expanded responsibilities as the channel develops. If you love clean, thoughtful editing and want your work to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
