Video Editor & Motion Designer

We’re hiring a Video Editor & Motion Designer to join our team and turn recorded footage (tutorials, case studies, webinars, and talking-head content) into clean, engaging, publish-ready videos. You’ll work across two types of projects:

#1 – ScaleMath Studios
Our in-house video content and YouTube channel. This includes our podcast.

#2 – Advisory & Services
Video and content assets we produce for companies we work with.

Here are examples of our current styles: https://scalemath.com/video-examples

While we will welcome improvements to this style over time, please do not apply if you are not comfortable producing videos in the same style as any of the 7 videos on this page.

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

• Attention to detail

• Pacing

• Clarity

• Polish

• Viewer comprehension

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

What You’ll Do

• Edit long-form recorded footage into tight, high-retention videos

• Improve pacing, structure, and clarity while preserving the speaker’s natural delivery

• 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• Strong taste: you know what looks modern vs outdated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

How to Apply

Please send:

• 2–4 examples you’re proud of (YouTube links preferred). We are looking for ones that match (or are similar to) the styles of the 7 examples provided here.

• A short note about your role in each project (editing only vs editing + motion)

• Your typical turnaround time for a 10–20 minute video

Compensation (from employer):
$18K – $30K • Offers Bonus
