YouTube Senior Video Editor

As a Senior YouTube Editor at Vireo Video, you will edit long-form YouTube videos and ads where design and motion carry the story. You will create animated graphics, explainer sequences, and branded motion systems that keep audiences watching, and you will collaborate closely with our Account Managers to develop assets tailored to our clients' needs.

We are looking for someone with a strong eye for design and animation who builds AI into their daily workflow: connecting tools through MCP servers and creating motion graphics with Claude Code or Codex to produce better work, faster.

Responsibilities
Video Editing

Edit high-quality long-form YouTube videos with a focus on story, pacing, and viewer retention.

Incorporate graphics, animations, and effects to enhance storytelling and visual appeal.

Ensure videos are polished, cohesive, and aligned with the overall content strategy.

Motion Graphics and Animation

Design and animate motion graphics, kinetic typography, data visualizations, maps, and explainer sequences that make complex ideas easy to follow.

Build reusable motion templates and branded graphic packages for each client.

Apply strong animation fundamentals (timing, easing, spacing, and visual hierarchy) so every move serves the story.

Design and edit ads with motion graphics that capture attention and persuade.

Collaborate with the marketing and client teams to ensure ad creative aligns with campaign goals and brand guidelines.

AI-Integrated Workflow

Use AI agents connected through MCP servers to automate post-production tasks such as asset generation, transcription, b-roll search, versioning, and file organization.

Create motion graphics with code using Claude Code or Codex (for example Remotion, Motion Canvas, or After Effects scripting) and bring them into the edit.

Build and document repeatable AI workflows that the rest of the creative team can adopt.

Test new AI tools for video and design, and keep the ones that improve speed or quality.

Creative Collaboration and QA

Work closely with Account Managers to understand client needs and deliver assets that meet their objectives.

Collaborate with other designers and editors to provide feedback and ensure high standards of quality and consistency.

Participate in brainstorming sessions to develop ideas for video content, motion concepts, and ads.
