If you’re looking to break into a high-performance agency environment, this is your entry point.\nPosition Overview\nThis role is for a hybrid long-form editor who can comfortably operate across multiple editing styles without losing pacing, structure, or retention.\nWe are specifically looking for someone who can handle BOTH:\nStory-driven, narrative-style editing\nFast-paced, personality-driven YouTube/vlog content\nThis is extremely important for the role.\nOne project may require a more structured, cinematic, reality-style approach focused on storytelling and emotional payoff. Another may require a faster, more personality-led editing style built around energy, pacing, and retention.\nThe ideal candidate understands how to shift between both naturally.\nWe are not looking for purely cinematic editors, template-based TikTok editors, or basic podcast cutters.\nYou should be comfortable:\nTurning raw footage into structured, engaging long-form content\nBalancing storytelling with fast-paced viewer retention\nAdapting across multiple content styles and tones\nUsing pacing, cutaways, music, sound design, and visual emphasis intentionally\nCreating edits that feel dynamic, modern, and highly watchable\nThis role sits between narrative editing and high-performance YouTube editing.\n Key Responsibilities\nEdit long-form videos (8-15+ minutes)\nBuild strong pacing, narrative flow, and viewer engagement throughout edits\nStructure content into compelling story arcs and sequences\nIdentify and emphasize key moments, reactions, and emotional beats\nUse music, sound design, cutaways, graphics, and pattern interrupts intentionally\nAdapt editing style depending on creator, brand, and content type\nCollaborate with internal team to execute creative direction efficiently\nOccasionally create short-form cutdowns from long-form content\n What This Role Is Not\nTo be explicit, this role is not for:\nBasic vlog editors\nShort-form/TikTok-only editors\nPurely cinematic filmmakers\nEditors who rely heavily on templates or over-editing\nHeavy VFX-only or motion graphics-only editors\nWe are looking for editors who understand how to make content perform while still telling a strong story.\n References\nDocu / Narrative Style:\nAustin Zaback:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc1ideVKeQg\nKorean
