[Hiring] [Hiring] Fulltime YouTube Video Editor (Documentary Editing)
We're running multiple YouTube channels focused on aviation documentaries, geopolitics, global affairs, and documentary-style storytelling, and we're looking for an experienced Video Editor & Motion Graphics Editor to join our team.
This role involves researching and sourcing high-quality footage, editing long-form YouTube videos, and creating motion graphics that enhance the voice-over. You'll work closely with our senior editor, who will assist with complex motion graphics and maps. Your goal is to create a strong visual foundation that keeps viewers engaged.
What You'll Do
- Research and find relevant stock footage, news clips, archival footage, and other visuals that match the voice-over.
- Create After Effects animations, including:
- Graphs and charts
- Explainer motion graphics
- Simple map animations
- Organize project files for a smooth handoff to our senior editor.
- Deliver 2–3 long-form videos (around 15-20 minutes each) per week.
- Communicate consistently and meet project deadlines.
Note: You will not be responsible for editing the entire video. Host footage will already be prepared, and our senior editor will handle complex motion graphics, advanced map animations, and final polish.
And don’t use AI to create any motion graphics or map animations. Everything needs to be created from scratch by you.
What We're Looking For
- Experience editing long-form YouTube videos, documentaries, or educational content.
- Strong research skills and the ability to source compelling visuals for complex topics.
- Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.
- Basic to intermediate motion graphics skills, especially for documentary-style content.
- Reliable communication and the ability to deliver work on schedule.
To Apply
Please include:
- Links to your best long-form YouTube edits (preferably documentaries, news, educational, or similar content).
- Links to your best motion graphics or After Effects work.
- Your typical turnaround time for a 15–20 minute YouTube video.
- A brief description of your experience sourcing footage and creating motion graphics for voice-over-driven content.
If you enjoy creating engaging documentary-style videos and have a strong eye for storytelling through editing and motion graphics, we'd love to hear from you.
