Video Editor

About the Role

We’re looking for a reliable, no-frills video editor to support a remote podcast focused on hiring, careers, and leadership decision-making.

• Remove long pauses, obvious mistakes, technical glitches
• Apply simple jump cuts only where necessary

• 2–3 short clips (30–90 seconds)

• Ensure stable framing and resolution
• Maintain consistent look and feel across episodes

What This Role Is NOT

• Not creative direction
• Not storytelling or pacing for drama
• Not motion graphics or heavy effects
