Long-form YouTube Video Editor (FTC)

YOUTUBE VIDEO EDITOR

London (Office-Based)

Fixed-Term Contract | July – September

We’re looking for a YouTube Editor with strong DaVinci Resolve experience to cut a premium factual entertainment series featuring high-profile talent.

This isn’t traditional broadcast editing. We’re looking for someone who understands modern YouTube storytelling - pacing, momentum, retention and platform-native editing styles that keep audiences engaged without losing editorial quality.

The content combines studio discussion, social media clips, humour, factual storytelling and reaction-driven moments into highly engaging longform episodes built specifically for YouTube audiences.

The Role

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
• Digital factual entertainment
• Podcasts/vodcasts

• Youth-skewing digital publishers
