Night is hiring: Video Editor - YouTube in New York

About the Role
We're looking for a great storyteller behind the timeline.

We're hiring a talented, reliable part-time Video Editor to join the team behind an established YouTube channel. This is a remote position focused on producing engaging, long-form content where strong storytelling, pacing, and attention to detail are essential.

You'll work closely with the creator and management team to turn raw footage into polished, compelling videos that feel consistent with the channel's established style. The ideal editor is a storyteller not a clipper; building a story, maintaining momentum, and keeping viewers engaged from beginning to end should be second nature.

What You'll Do

Edit long-form YouTube videos from raw footage through final delivery

Shape footage into compelling stories with strong pacing, structure, and flow

Use B-roll, music, sound design, graphics, text, and other editing techniques to enhance the story

Create engaging openings and maintain viewer interest throughout each video

Maintain the channel's established editing style while making each video feel fresh and intentional

Collaborate directly with the creator and the broader team to incorporate feedback efficiently

Manage projects independently and consistently meet deadlines

Deliver polished, upload-ready videos with a high level of attention to detail

What We're Looking For

Proven experience editing YouTube or other long-form video content

Strong storytelling instincts and a natural understanding of pacing and audience retention

Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or similar software

Extreme ownership of your work and high agency

Strong communication skills and the ability to adapt well to feedback

Experience with video essay, documentary, commentary, or other story-driven YouTube content is a strong plus

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who has the skills to tell a story - not splice clips together.

The Details

Position: Part-time

Location: Remote

Typical Turnaround: 48-72 hours per project
