Reports To: Head of Content or Executive Producer
Type: Full-Time

Overview

We’re hiring a Senior Podcast & Video Editor to take the lead on transforming raw conversations into polished, high-performing content. You’ll own post-production from start to finish—turning interviews into crisp long-form episodes, building engaging short-form assets, and helping us deliver top-tier media across platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, and TikTok.

If you’re equal parts storyteller, technical pro, and content strategist—and thrive in a fast-paced B2B media environment—this is your role.

What You’ll Do

  • Edit and package long-form podcast episodes for high-quality audio and video release

  • Build short-form clips optimized for YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok

  • Apply advanced post-production techniques: multi-cam editing, sound design, color grading, and motion graphics

  • Collaborate with hosts, producers, and strategists on narrative and visual direction

  • Manage editing workflows, templates, and media libraries using tools like Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Audition

  • Maintain quality control across all content and publishing channels

  • Track content performance and adjust creative strategies based on watch time, engagement, and completion data

  • Align output with campaign goals and brand tone in partnership with marketing and demand gen teams

  • Propose and implement improvements to workflows, systems, and tools

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of professional editing experience across audio and video formats

  • Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition)

  • Proven ability to create content that performs across B2B platforms and thought leadership channels

  • Strong storytelling instincts and a keen editorial eye

  • Deep understanding of platform-specific video trends, pacing, and hooks

  • Experience using performance metrics to guide creative decisions

  • Highly organized and accountable in managing multiple projects and deadlines

  • Comfortable giving and receiving feedback in a collaborative, creative environment

Bonus Points

  • Background in B2B media, SaaS, or content marketing

  • Familiarity with SEO and metadata for YouTube and other discovery engines

  • Experience managing freelance editors or media teams

  • Process-driven and always looking to improve systems

We connect top talent with vetted employers, competitive pay, and real growth opportunities.

Compensation (from employer):
Tier 1: $800 – $1,500 per month
