This includes:

  • Editing longform YouTube episodes in DaVinci Resolve
  • Building engaging edits that prioritise pacing and audience retention
  • Shaping story structure, momentum and visual rhythm
  • Integrating graphics, UGC, social content and mixed-media assets
  • Collaborating closely with producers and editorial teams
  • Supporting cutdowns and additional social edits where needed
  • Managing multiple episodes and quick turnaround timelines


We’re Looking For Someone Who:

  • Has strong experience editing YouTube-first or digital-native content
  • Is highly proficient in DaVinci Resolve
  • Understands YouTube visual language and retention editing
  • Has excellent storytelling and pacing instincts
  • Is confident working with graphics, text and mixed-media workflows
  • Has strong comedic timing and reaction-editing instincts
  • Works well collaboratively in fast-moving production environments


Ideal Backgrounds Could Include:

  • Creator-led YouTube content

  • Youth-skewing digital publishers
