Job description

Before applying, please read this entire post carefully. If you do not meet any of the requirements below, do not apply.

We are building a high-quality YouTube documentary channel focused on natural disasters and major catastrophic events that have impacted the world.

Our content explores earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, extreme weather events, survival stories, and large-scale crises through structured, research-driven storytelling with cinematic intensity and professional production value.

We are hiring a full-time video editor for a long-term collaboration, starting immediately. We need someone ready to begin as soon as possible.

The workload will be 12 videos per month (3 per week), with an average duration between 20 and 40 minutes, with potential for longer episodes in the future.

Turnaround time is critical:
Each video must be delivered within 48 hours.
This deadline is non-negotiable. Consistency is essential. If the 48-hour turnaround is not respected, the collaboration will end. We are building at scale and speed.

The editing style must be cinematic, intense, and documentary-level — with strong pacing, tension building, advanced narrative structure, professional sound design, seamless B-roll integration, and high-quality motion graphics.

Advanced knowledge of After Effects is required. You must be capable of creating clean maps, data visualizations, animated elements, and subtle visual effects that enhance storytelling. Strong experience in documentary, investigative, crime, or historical long-form content is mandatory.

You must be able to match the quality and structure of the following reference videos:

Your portfolio must include long-form documentary work demonstrating similar pacing and cinematic storytelling.

To be considered, you must complete a mandatory 1-minute test edit.

The test materials (including a 1-minute script and voice-over) are available here:

Only apply if you are confident you can replicate this documentary style at a professional level and commit to the required delivery schedule.

When applying, include:
Portfolio (long-form documentary work only)

Confirmation of full-time availability

Confirmation you can consistently deliver within 48 hours

Estimated turnaround time per video

Confirmation that you reviewed the test materials and will complete the 1-minute edit

This is a serious long-term opportunity for a committed professional. We are building a premium documentary brand and require discipline, speed, and high production standards.

Contract duration of more than 6 months.

Mandatory skills:
Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Video Editing, Documentary, Audio Editing, Education
