Senior Long-Form & Explainer Video Editor

Full podcast episodes, premium YouTube videos, and SpotLight explainers. Short-form earns the reach; your work is what buyers watch all the way through.

The job

Our clients' flagship content is yours: full podcast episodes, premium YouTube videos, and SpotLight explainers. You own the long cut end to end: story structure, pacing, motion graphics, grade, and mix, the polish that makes a B2B brand look like a media company.

What you'll own

  • Full-length podcast and fireside episodes, edited for story, not just for length
  • Premium YouTube videos: cold opens, chaptering, retention-aware pacing, end screens
  • SpotLight explainers from script to screen, with motion graphics that explain instead of decorate
  • Color, mix, and master across formats, holding a house standard per client brand
  • Packaging collaboration: titles, thumbnail direction, episode descriptions

Required expertise

  • Long-form workflows in Premiere Pro or Resolve: multicam sync, episode-length story assembly, versioning
  • After Effects motion design: lower thirds, diagrams, and explainer systems built as reusable templates
  • Finishing: color grade, dialogue cleanup, loudness targets per platform
  • YouTube-native editing literacy: retention curves, chapters, packaging that earns the click honestly
  • Codec and delivery literacy: mezzanine formats, platform encodes, archival practice
  • Media management for episode-scale projects across concurrent client libraries

You, probably

  • Have cut long-form for brands, studios, or channels and can show full episodes you owned
  • Think in story beats, not timecodes
  • Can make a technical founder sound crisp without making them sound produced
  • Treat motion graphics as explanation, not decoration
  • Know when an episode is two minutes too long, and cut them
