Job description

This is a remote position.

Schedule: Monday to Friday 8am - 5pm Metter, GA time with an hour unpaid break (40 hours per week)

Position Overview: We’re looking for a Senior Video Editor to own our entire post-production and distribution workflow. You’ll shape the creative direction of all video / audio assets, turn raw interviews and event footage into binge-worthy content, publish finished pieces on YouTube and Libsyn, and—over time—have the runway to build and mentor a small editing team as we scale. You’ll collaborate with a lean group of producers and designers, but you must be highly self-sufficient, proactive, and data-driven.

Key Responsibilities:

● Audio Editing: Clean, mix, and master podcast tracks in Adobe Audition (noise reduction, EQ, compression, leveling). Remove filler words and long pauses while preserving natural flow.

● Video Editing: Edit multi-camera interviews and full-length episodes in Premiere Pro; create short recaps and highlight reels from live events and presentations; add motion graphics, lower thirds, captions, and perform color correction / grading (After Effects / Lumetri).

● Content Repurposing: Slice long-form content into high-engagement clips (Reels, TikTok, Shorts, LinkedIn) with dynamic subtitles, platform-specific hooks, and correct aspect ratios.

● Publishing & Distribution: Upload, schedule, and optimize videos on YouTube (titles, tags, chapters, end screens) and publish final audio to Libsyn with accurate metadata, artwork, and show notes.

● Analytics & Optimization: Monitor performance in YouTube Studio and Libsyn, prepare quick insights, and suggest actionable improvements to thumbnails, titles, cadence, and content formats.

● Trend & AI Adoption: Stay current on editing trends and retention tactics; leverage AI tools such as Descript, CastMagic, OpusClip, or Submagic to accelerate workflows.

● Workflow & File Management: Keep assets organized in Frame.io / Google Drive, follow naming and version-control conventions, and move tasks through ClickUp without bottlenecks.

● Collaboration & Communication: Communicate clearly with podcast managers, designers, and hosts via Slack; provide realistic timelines, creative input, and rapid feedback loops.

Requirements:
Expert command of Adobe Premiere Pro and Audition; solid After Effects skills.
2 + years of professional video and audio editing (portfolio / reel required).
Proven experience with multi-camera interviews and dynamic conversations.
Hands-on publishing and optimization for YouTube and Libsyn.
Strong grasp of storytelling, pacing, hooks, and viewer retention for digital audiences.
Track record of delivering on tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.
Fluent written and spoken English; comfortable collaborating across time zones.
AI-minded: eager to test and integrate new tools that boost efficiency.

Nice to Have
Experience with Insta360 / 360° footage or DaVinci Resolve for advanced color work.
Thumbnail A/B testing, basic motion-design chops, or familiarity with YouTube analytics and podcast KPIs.
Thought leadership content.
