They should be comfortable working independently and be able to manage multiple edits and deadlines simultaneously in a fast-moving news cycle. The ideal candidate should have experience creating content designed for the internet, ideally at a new media or digital-first organization. They will have strong editorial instincts - especially around news, context and rapid-response editing - and a deep understanding of YouTube, Shorts, TikTok and Reels for pacing, hooks, captions and formatting. They will be well-versed in the current news-podcast ecosystem across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X and Patreon, and should understand the value of clips in fueling discovery, community and monetization. What Motivates You * You want to help serious journalism win attention in social feeds. You can think like a creator but edit like a journalist. * You understand the importance of packaging and pacing matter on video. * You see podcasts and long-form interviews as raw material for daily audience growth. * You thrive in small, high-output teams. * You are comfortable in fast-moving environments and on deadline. Why This Role Matters * Edit long-form podcasts, interviews, social shows and high-performing clips for YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, X and other social platforms. * Own clip-farming workflows: identifying moments, shaping hooks, tightening pacing and packaging content for maximum reach. * Design and execute motion elements - titles, lower thirds, light animations and visual emphasis - primarily in After Effects. * Help translate dense or complex journalism into clear, creator-style video that performs on social while maintaining editorial integrity. * Write platform-native headlines and captions that increase click-through, retention and sharing. * Collaborate with producers, hosts, and social editors to align clips with daily news priorities and audience strategy. * Edit both rapid-response news clips and evergreen content with long-tail potential. * Manage YouTube Studio uploads, metadata, thumbnails, and publishing workflows. * Track performance and iterate based on audience behavior and analytics. * Maintain an organized archive of source footage, clips, templates, and motion assets. * Occasionally support basic filming needs (in-studio or on-site): holding camera, framing shots, capturing clean audio, and handling simple lighting setups. The Skills and Experience You Bring * 2+ years of professional video editing experience, with strong social examples. Preferably experience working at a new-media or digital-first media organization (not traditional broadcast). * Primary editing experience in YouTube and social video - podcasts, interviews, social shows or creator-led formats. High proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro. * Strong working knowledge of After Effects for motion graphics, text animation and visual polish. * Experience designing thumbnails and social assets using Photoshop and/or Illustrator. * Comfort managing YouTube Studio, metadata, titles, descriptions and thumbnails. * Comfortable with basic camera operation, framing, and audio capture when needed. Experience filming on DSLR/mirrorless cameras or iPhones. * Familiarity with analytics tools (YouTube Analytics, CrowdTangle, Sprout, etc.). * Some exposure to AI tools is a plus.
