Job Summary
You are the person who turns raw footage into videos that hold attention build trust and make the creator look like the authority they are. You own the edit from the moment raw files land in your inbox to the moment the final export is ready to publish and every cut transition graphic and sound decision along the way is yours.
Location: LATAM - Fully Remote
Your Mission: Day to Day Responsibilities
The core of this role is editing long-form YouTube videos. That is the job. You will be editing talking head content with B-roll integration text overlays motion graphics screen recordings multi-camera setups and reaction-style edits across multiple client channels. Every client has a different voice a different energy and a different audience and your job is to match all of it while keeping the pacing tight enough to hold viewers for 10 to 25 minutes.
The full scope of what you own in post-production includes:
Sound design and mixing which means clean audio music selection and leveling and sound effects where they serve the content. The audio should feel polished without feeling overproduced.
Color grading that is consistent professional and matched to the creators brand and the energy of the content not just basic correction.
Motion graphics and text animations including lower thirds callouts data visualizations title cards transitions and any on-screen graphics the content needs. There is no separate motion graphics role so this is part of your responsibility.
YouTube Shorts editing and Meta video ad editing are a bonus and a nice to have. If you can repurpose long-form content into vertical Shorts and produce video ads for Facebook and Instagram that makes you more valuable but the primary focus of this role is long-form YouTube content.
You will be editing a minimum of 12 videos per month up to 16 which means you need to manage your own time hit deadlines without being chased and communicate proactively when something is running ahead of schedule or falling behind.
You will receive notes from the founder from account managers and occasionally directly from clients. You take feedback without ego you ask smart questions when the note is unclear and you turn revisions around fast.
Your Toolbox: Skills to be Successful
You are an editor who watches YouTube obsessively and understands why the best channels feel different from everyone else. You notice pacing decisions you clock when a cut is doing real work versus just filling space and you understand that editing is retention not decoration.
You have edited YouTube content before and not just personal projects. You have worked on channels with real audiences and you understand what performing content looks like from the editing chair which means you know the difference between a video that looks good and a video that actually holds attention for 15 minutes.
You are fast without being sloppy. 12 to 16 videos per month is the baseline and that pace requires systems discipline and the ability to make strong creative decisions quickly instead of spending three hours choosing a font. You have your toolkit dialed in and you execute.
You are an end-to-end editor which means you handle the full post-production pipeline yourself: editing sound color graphics and export. You do not hand off color grading to someone else or send motion graphics requests to a designer. If it happens between raw footage and final file it is your responsibility.
You work in Premiere Pro which is our primary editing platform. If you are stronger in another editing software and willing to switch we can talk about it but Premiere Pro proficiency is strongly preferred.
You manage your own calendar flag issues before they become problems and communicate proactively so that nobody ever has to chase you for a status update or wonder where an edit stands.
You are part of the online education coaching and info product world. You understand the content these creators make because you consume it yourself and that shows up in how you edit their videos because you understand the audience on the other side of the screen.
