Our client runs a YouTube channel that teaches people how to use AI tools, and they’re on the hunt for a full-time editor who can make their videos actually fun to watch - not just another dry tutorial.

They want someone who edits like a storyteller. Their videos run about 8-12 mins, so you’ll need to keep people hooked the whole way through - good pacing, a sense of build-up, and payoffs.

Responsibilities

• Edit YouTube videos (typically 8–12 minutes) that are engaging, fast-paced, and highly watchable.
• Turn educational AI content into story-driven videos with strong pacing, build-up, and satisfying payoffs.
• Create dynamic edits using motion graphics, animations, sound design, and visual effects to maximize viewer retention.
• Integrate screen recordings, captions, callouts, and on-screen graphics to make tutorials easy to follow.
• Use AI-generated images and videos to enhance storytelling and create visually compelling content.
• Collaborate closely with the team to continuously improve video quality and audience engagement.

Requirements

• Solid experience editing story-driven videos (not just talking-head or screen-recording cuts)
• A great feel for pacing and rhythm
• Proficient in Adobe Premiere and After Effects
• Experience using AI image and video tools to generate high-quality AI footage to drop into your edits
• Comfortable with tutorial stuff - screen recordings, on-screen text, using animations to enhance the viewing experience.
• Some real knowledge of AI tools and concepts, enough to follow what we’re teaching and edit it accurately
• Able to work in CET timezone with exclusivity clause

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Work From Home
• Flexible Hours
