YouTube Video Editor & Content Strategist hourly

Jay Campbell HQ: Atlanta, Georgia, United States Remote job Feb 2

I’m looking for a skilled video editor who can also help shape and curate content for my YouTube channel and social media.

This role is not just about editing — it’s about turning long-form recordings into clear, engaging tutorials and documentary-style tech videos.

About the Content

  • Tech tutorials and walkthroughs
  • Building projects (e.g. “Building a New Robot to…”)
  • Developer tools, workflows, and experiments (e.g. “How to Use Cursor”)
  • Screen recordings and live sessions that are 1–4 hours long
  • I add markers during recording to highlight important moments

Editing Style References The editing style should be clean, modern, and engaging, similar to channels such as:

  • Optimum
  • Nick Saraev
  • Alex Hormozi

You don’t need to copy these exactly, but you should be comfortable with fast-paced cuts, clear visual emphasis, and editing that keeps technical content engaging.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Generate video ideas based on my work, recordings, and current tech trends
  • Outline or script videos and pass them to me for review/approval
  • Edit long-form recordings into YouTube videos
  • Create short-form clips (Shorts, Reels, etc.) from long-form content
  • Add clean cuts, pacing, zooms, callouts, and on-screen text
  • Create or source visual assets (graphics, overlays, b-roll where helpful)
  • Upload and publish content
  • Write titles, descriptions, and handle basic YouTube SEO
  • Help maintain consistent quality and style across platforms

Communication & Language (Very Important)

  • Fluent spoken and written English is required
  • You must be comfortable holding live vocal conversations (calls)
  • Clear communication and the ability to discuss ideas verbally is essential
  • Applicants based in Thailand are a strong plus

What I’m Looking For

  • Strong experience editing long-form content
  • A portfolio of relevant video work is required (YouTube links preferred)
  • Comfortable working with screen recordings and tutorials
  • Able to think like a content creator, not just an editor
  • Good sense of pacing, clarity, and storytelling
  • Familiarity with YouTube best practices
  • Self-directed, organized, and reliable

Nice to Have (Not Required)

  • Background in tech, programming, or engineering
  • Experience with educational or documentary-style content
  • Motion graphics experience

Tools & AI Usage

  • Use whatever tools you’re best with (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, etc. but Davinci is preferred!)
  • Using AI tools is completely fine if it improves quality and speed
  • I’m open to covering AI credits or usage costs if they meaningfully improve the work
  • I care about results and quality, not how you get there

How to Apply

Please include:

  • Examples of YouTube videos you’ve edited
  • Any experience with tutorials, documentaries, or tech content
