About the Job
Popular YouTube creator with over 20 million subscribers on the main channel (and rapidly growing sub channels/socials) is looking to hire freelance Story Editors! Ideal candidates are decisive, collaborative, and eager to learn. We are looking to build and invest in a core post team that understands the content we create, so we are open to a variety of experience levels.
What you will be doing:
-- Taking initial assemblies of videos and developing story cuts focused on pacing, character beats, and honing in on the best way to tell the story with the footage available.
-- Revising the story through multiple rounds of review with the creative team.
-- Doing initial passes of stylistic elements of each video, including music and transitional montages.
-- Collaborating with the Post Supervisor and Lead Editors to ensure smooth project handoffs for finishing stages and motion graphics
Ideal Candidate
You’re a good fit if:
-- You have experience and comfort with unscripted content - especially for YouTube.
-- You are collaborative, organized, and proactive with your communication.
-- You understand YouTube humor and storytelling, and keep on top of trends on those platforms
-- You are decisive and can work quickly through a large volume of content.
-- You’re local to Austin, TX (or live within a comfortable driving distance, within ~2hrs), for ease of attending in person meetings and coordinating footage and equipment handoffs.
Job Requirements
-- Our post team is currently fully remote - so ability to work from a home set up is required.
-- Must be proficient in Premiere Pro and have a general knowledge of Adobe products.
-- Experience with the larger Adobe suite, especially Photoshop and After Effects, is a plus.
-- Experience with Maxon Universe, especially PluralEyes, is a plus.
-- Experience editing for social media (TikTok, Instagram, etc) is a plus.
-- We encourage you to send an editing reel / portfolio of your work when you apply.
We will reach out to you to schedule an initial call and set up a test edit if it feels like you could be a good fit. All freelance work will be paid at a flat rate agreed upon prior to start.
Though this position is currently freelance, we are hoping to find candidates who could eventually transition into a full time role with the company. Rate negotiable, dependent on experience
Looking forward to meeting you!
