Long Form Video Editor Youtube

## About the company We're a fast-moving startup making software for architecture practices across the UK. We build Flow (the operating system for studios) and Archie (an AI drawing tool that turns prompts into editable CAD files). Founded by a 22-year-old UK architect, we've been quietly growing through a community of 200+ practices, in-person events, partnerships, and a content engine that we're now ready to seriously scale. ## About the role A full-time senior video editor who lives and breathes long-form YouTube. You'll own the edit on 3 to 4 long-form YouTube videos per month, plus a steady stream of short-form content from each shoot. We have the footage, we have the scripts, we have the story arcs. We need the person who can turn it all into videos people stop scrolling for. The benchmark for the work we want is Yusuf Asey's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@yusufasey. If you've watched his videos and thought "I could do that," this role is for you. If you watch them now and think "I want to learn how to do that," this role isn't. ## Responsibilities - Edit 3 to 4 long-form YouTube videos per month (10 to 18 minutes each) at the highest production level we can produce - Cut 8 to 12 short-form videos per month from the long-form footage for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts - Build motion graphics, animated text, smooth transitions, and on-brand visual systems that recur across videos so the channel feels like one channel - Story-tell. The best videos won't be the ones with the slickest cuts. They'll be the ones where the edit tells the story alongside the founder, not on top of him - Turn around every long-form edit in under 40 hours (2 working days max) from receiving the footage - Collaborate directly with the founder, the strategist, and the production team. Tight feedback loops. Fast iteration ## Requirements - Any sort of editing long-form YouTube content for founders, business creators, or documentary-style channels - Deep fluency in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve would be good but anything that helps your to produce high quality work. After Effects for motion graphics is essential - Storytelling instinct. You understand pacing, hook construction, retention curves, and when to cut versus when to hold - Comfort with high-volume output without quality drop. Speed matters as much as taste here - Available for daily Slack contact during UK working hours - A reel showing your best long-form YouTube work, not just short-form ## The test Before we hire, we want to see you edit one of our videos.
