Role Overview We are looking for an experienced Lead Video Editor (YouTube) to join our team as an independent actor operating as a co-lead. You will turn raw multi-cam, idea-driven, and talking-head footage into polished, visually engaging 10-20 minute long-form videos.

This role requires you to work both independently and collaboratively as a co-lead on the team. You are an experienced peer who can independently shape pacing, build custom motion graphics from scratch in After Effects (visual roadmaps, concept maps, dynamic typography), and deliver retention-focused final cuts with complete creative autonomy.

What You’ll Own
- YouTube Pacing & Retention Architecture: Edit with a deep understanding of YouTube viewer behavior, retention curves, and drop-off risks. Use pacing, B-roll, audio mixing, and pattern interrupts to maintain momentum while preserving the host's authority and narrative flow.
- High-Autonomy Output: Take full ownership of edits end-to-end, delivering clean, high-end production value right out of the box without requiring constant management oversight.




- Editorial Execution & Motion Graphics: Edit long-form YouTube videos from raw multi-cam assembly to final polish. Build custom visual roadmaps, concept maps, and kinetic typography in After Effects—crafting clear narrative arcs where motion graphics elevate the storytelling without overshadowing it.
- Workflow & Turnarounds: Manage project assets cleanly, delivering initial V1 cuts within 5-7 business days and executing revision loops within 2 business days.

Who You Are
- A Technical & Visual Storyteller: You understand narrative pacing, emotional B-roll selection, and how to keep viewers hooked while maintaining the host's authority.
- Motion Graphics Specialist: Highly proficient in Adobe After Effects with a proven ability to design custom visual frameworks from scratch (not just tweaking pre-made templates).
- Autonomous & Detail-Oriented: You deliver clean, polished exports, taking total
