About HardScope
HardScope is a YouTube-first media company building original programming at the intersection of internet culture, lifestyle, and the creator economy.
The Role
HardScope is looking for a talented and self-driven Video Editor to join our in-house production team. You'll own the edit across a slate of original programming, creator collaborations, and branded content working closely with our Studio and Production teams to bring concepts to life from rough cut to final delivery. This is a hands-on role for someone who lives and breathes creator content, moves fast without sacrificing quality, and knows instinctively what makes an audience stick around.
Responsibilities

- Oversees and mentoring junior editors and post-production staff
- Manages multiple concurrent timelines under fast-paced production schedules
- Contributes to pre-production planning, including story structure and shot list review
- Ensures consistency in quality, tone, and brand voice across all published content
Qualifications
- Proven experience editing long-form YouTube content with a strong understanding of what drives retention and performance on each platform.
- Deep familiarity with creator culture. You watch this content, you understand the format, and you don't need a crash course in the space.
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro; working knowledge of After Effects or motion graphics tools to execute lower thirds, transitions, and light animated elements independently.
- Experience editing branded or sponsored content, with the ability to integrate partner moments naturally into creator-driven storytelling without disrupting the viewer experience.
- Highly self-sufficient with strong project management instincts. Able to take a brief from raw footage to polished deliverable, manage versions, and hit deadlines in a fast-moving, high-output production environment.
