Position: Podcast Video Editor
Number of hours: Project Based
Schedule: Flexible
About the Project
We're producing a high-quality, YouTube-first legal podcast and looking for a video editor who lives and breathes the Diary of a CEO style — clean cuts, dynamic pacing, strong visual storytelling, and a polished finish that keeps viewers watching. Think tight pacing, purposeful B-roll use, graphic overlays where appropriate, and an eye for social-worthy moments.
What You'll Do
- Sync and assemble multi-camera footage into a compelling full-length episode (typically 60–90 minutes).
•
Clean and balance dialogue audio.
- Trim dead air and tighten pacing without losing the natural flow of conversation.
- Label and rough-cut 4–6 strong social clip moments within the timeline.
- Build rough timelines for vertical social cutdowns (final polish handled internally).
- Maintain an organized Premiere project structure that our internal team can easily pick up for final polish, packaging, and distribution.
What We're Looking For
- Demonstrable experience editing long-form podcast content in a Diary of a CEO, Huberman Lab, or similar premium YouTube podcast style. (must requirement sample)
- Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro; experience with Autopod for multi-cam sync is a plus.
- Working knowledge of dialogue cleanup and audio balancing.
- Comfortable working within an established workflow and receiving structured, direct feedback.
•
Reliable high-speed internet connection.
- Adequate local storage capacity to manage large 4K media files.
The Engagement
We're starting with a single episode edit — estimated 2–4 hours for an experienced editor. Strong candidates will be considered for ongoing work as the show grows. This is a great opportunity to build a long-term creative partnership from the ground up.
