📋 Description

• Edit green screen-based content for YouTube and social platforms with professional keying, masking, and seamless compositing. • Create and repurpose videos for YouTube Shorts, Reels, and other vertical formats — fast-paced, trend-aware, and platform-native. • Use AI-enabled tools to create content faster, including AI avatars, voiceovers, and visuals. (RunwayML, Synthesia, Pika, etc.) • Take full ownership of each video — from rough footage to final export — ensuring storytelling, pacing, and branding are aligned. • Collaborate closely with the growth and content teams to translate scripts, rough edits, and raw recordings into visually compelling narratives. • Create and follow detailed storyboards, add motion graphics, dynamic typography, sound effects, and transitions to elevate viewer experience. • IMPORTANT: Understand how sound design and audio cues can enhance video retention and strategically apply them. • Enhance older video content and make them look brand new with fresh effects, updated graphics, and modern pacing. • Deliver polished, professional-quality edits using Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator at an advanced level. • Apply knowledge of typography, font pairing, color theory, and visual hierarchy to maintain consistent branding and design appeal. • Optimize every edit to increase retention at key points (15 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 min & 5 min) on YouTube and other platforms. • Stay up-to-date with trends in AI, video editing, content marketing, and YouTube algorithm changes.

🎯 Requirements

• 3–5+ years of professional video editing experience, ideally in edtech, YouTube content creation, or educational storytelling. • Expert-level proficiency in: • Adobe Premiere Pro (editing & pacing) • Adobe After Effects (motion graphics, VFX) • Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator (graphics & visual design) • Familiarity with AI video tools and platforms (e.g., Descript, RunwayML, Pika Labs, Synthesia, ElevenLabs). • Strong grasp of visual storytelling, pacing, transitions, and retention-focused editing. • Knowledge of YouTube growth metrics, audience psychology, and content structuring for engagement. • Passion for continuous learning — ready to upskill from the industry's best minds and adapt to new tools, trends, and techniques. • Highly proactive, detail-oriented, and self-driven — able to work independently and meet deadlines with minimal supervision. • Deep understanding of audio design — how music, ambient sounds, and SFX influence viewer retention and emotional connection.
