This role is for someone who cares deeply, to the point of obsession, about:

Using motion graphics to support the story/message (not distract from it)

Create and integrate motion graphics (lower thirds, callouts, simple explainer sequences, UI highlights, transitions)

Add B-roll, overlays, and on-screen text where it improves understanding

Handle audio cleanup, leveling, and general sound polish

Produce rough cuts and iterate quickly based on feedback

Deliver final exports optimized for YouTube and other channels

Maintain a consistent style and quality bar across multiple brands and projects

Improve our workflow over time (templates, presets, reusable motion systems)

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience editing YouTube videos or long-form educational content

Strong editorial judgment: pacing, structure, clarity, and storytelling

Motion design ability (After Effects or equivalent) for clean, modern, functional animation

High attention to detail across cuts, timing, audio, and on-screen text

Strong taste: you know what looks modern vs outdated

Comfortable taking feedback and iterating quickly

Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistently

Tools

You can use your preferred tools, but most of our workflow is compatible with:

Descript

Premiere Pro

After Effects

Frame.io

Bonus points (not required)

Experience editing SaaS, B2B, or product-led content

Ability to create a reusable motion system for a channel (titles, lower thirds, callouts, transitions)

Thumbnail design experience

Familiarity with retention editing principles for YouTube

Experience working with founders and subject matter experts
