Requirements - Experience with DTC or UGC-style ads (Nice to have). Benefits - Working Hours: Async-First. - We are a global, remote team. We don't care when you do the work, provided deadlines are met and the quality is top-tier. - We do ask for a few hours of overlap with US-based EST working hours each day to facilitate team meetings and Slack communication. - This ensures we stay agile and can iterate on winning ads in real-time. How to Apply Ready to build the next winning creative? Send us your portfolio! - We are specifically looking for a "Performance Creative" reel—please do not send long-form documentaries, wedding films, or cinematic shorts. - We want to see fast-paced, high-retention, short-form ads that drive conversions. - Bonus points if you include a link to a TikTok or Reel you've edited that went viral.

We’re looking for a platform-native storyteller. As a YouTube Video Editor, you will transform Simon’s conversations into content that earns attention—not by chasing trends, but by trusting that great ideas, well-presented, are the most compelling content there is. You’ll work closely with our content producer to shape raw footage into long-form YouTube episodes and social-ready short clips that feel unmistakably like Simon: thoughtful, grounded, and human. This role is for someone who thinks editorially—who watches great content and understands why it works, has strong instincts about what to cut and what to keep, and cares about the viewer’s experience as much as the technical execution. What You’ll Do: Long-Form YouTube Content - Edit full-length podcast episodes of A Bit of Optimism into polished, YouTube-ready cuts (typically 40–75 minutes) - Craft the opening 60 seconds with intention—structuring hooks that earn the viewer’s curiosity without resorting to clickbait - Apply subtle visual enhancements (zooms, reframes, on-screen text, lower thirds, and light graphics) that serve the story - Manage pacing throughout long-form content to maintain intellectual engagement without sacrificing the authenticity of real conversation - Incorporate music, sound design, and b-roll where appropriate to support tone and context Short-Form & Social - Identify and extract 30–90 second moments from each episode with the highest social potential - Produce vertical (9:16) Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts that feel platform-native, not repurposed - Apply bold captions, platform-appropriate pacing, and instant hooks to maximize performance in the first 2–3 seconds - Develop a consistent visual language for short-form content aligned with Simon’s brand Collaboration & Process - Work directly with the content producer to interpret briefs, align on editorial direction, and iterate quickly - Maintain organized project files, rough cuts, and final exports with consistent naming and delivery standards - Contribute ideas on what’s working, what’s not, and how content can improve—bringing strong opinions, held loosely - Stay current on platform changes, YouTube algorithm shifts, and emerging editorial techniques What We’re Looking For: Required - 3+ years of experience editing video content for YouTube, with a portfolio that includes long-form content - Demonstrable fluency in modern YouTube storytelling, including pacing, retention strategy, hook construction, and audience psychology - Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve; experience with After Effects or motion graphics is a plus - Experience editing short-form vertical content for Instagram Reels or TikTok - Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate editorial decisions - A portfolio or reel that demonstrates range, including compelling talking-head content Preferred - Experience working in or adjacent to thought leadership, podcasting, personal brand, or media content - Familiarity with Simon Sinek’s body of work and alignment with the ideas he puts into the world - Comfort working in a small, high-trust team where ownership, initiative, and judgment matter more than hierarchy - Experience using AI-assisted editing tools or subtitle/caption workflows Our Creative Philosophy: What we’re after Authentic, clean, modern storytelling that feels current without chasing trends. Editing that treats retention as a byproduct of respect for the viewer’s time. What we’re not after Over-edited, hyperactive cuts that prioritize speed over substance. Clickbait tactics or gimmicky hooks that erode trust. Content that feels like it’s shouting for attention.

Standort 100% Remote oder Andernach Wichtig vorab Trifft das auf dich zu? Du arbeitest strukturiert, schnell und ohne unnötige Abstimmungsschleifen – Briefings setzt du sauber und zuverlässig in funktionierende Creatives um. Du denkst in Performance: Für dich zählt nicht, ob etwas „schön“ ist, sondern ob es klickt, konvertiert und sich datenbasiert verbessern lässt. Du hast kein Problem mit klaren Vorgaben, sondern nutzt sie, um effizient viele Varianten zu produzieren und systematisch besser zu werden. Du arbeitest eigenständig, priorisierst sauber und lieferst konstant Output, statt dich in Details oder Perfektion zu verlieren. Du hast Lust, einen direkten Einfluss auf das Wachstum unserer Kampagnen zu haben, weil deine Creatives messbar Performance treiben. DEINE AUFGABEN - Du bist verantwortlich für die Entwicklung und Umsetzung von Performance Creatives, die messbar zum Wachstum unserer Paid-Kampagnen beitragen – insbesondere auf Meta, TikTok und ähnlichen Plattformen. - Du setzt bestehende Creative-Strategien strukturiert um, entwickelst daraus kontinuierlich neue Varianten und sorgst dafür, dass wir schnell testen, lernen und besser werden. - Du übernimmst den Schnitt und die Bearbeitung von UGC- und Ad-Videos entlang klarer Dramaturgien (Hook, Aufbau, Varianten) und stellst sicher, dass Inhalte nicht nur produziert, sondern auch performant sind. - Du gestaltest ergänzend statische Creatives, Visuals und Grafiken für Ads, Social Media und E-Commerce und sorgst für ein konsistentes, funktionierendes Gesamtbild. - Du optimierst bestehende Inhalte datenbasiert weiter – auf Basis von Performance-Zahlen, klaren Hypothesen und schnellem Iterieren statt einmaliger „Perfektlösungen“. - Du arbeitest eng mit dem Marketing-Team zusammen, das die strategischen Leitplanken vorgibt, und übersetzt diese zuverlässig in skalierbaren Creative Output. - Du nutzt moderne Tools und AI-gestützte Workflows, um die Content-Produktion effizienter, schneller und reproduzierbar zu machen. BENEFITS - Flexibles Arbeiten: Du arbeitest 100 % remote oder in unserem Büro in Andernach – entscheidend ist das Ergebnis, nicht der Ort. - Klare Verantwortung: Du übernimmst einen klar abgegrenzten Bereich innerhalb der Creative-Produktion und siehst direkt, welchen Einfluss deine Arbeit auf die Performance hat. - Eigenverantwortung statt Micromanagement: Du bekommst klare Briefings und Ziele – die Umsetzung liegt in deiner Verantwortung. - Direktes, ehrliches Feedback: Feedback ist bei uns klar, sachlich und auf Verbesserung ausgerichtet – ohne politisches Drumherum. - Strukturiertes Arbeitsumfeld: Du arbeitest mit klaren Prozessen, festen Abläufen und definierten Creative-Strategien – kein Chaos, kein ständiges Neudenken von Grund auf. - Weiterentwicklung mit Substanz: Du entwickelst dich über Output, Geschwindigkeit und Qualität deiner Arbeit weiter – nicht über Titel. - Arbeitsausstattung: Du erhältst hochwertiges Apple-Equipment für produktives Arbeiten. - Zusätzliche Benefits: 50 € steuerfreier Sachbezug (z. B. Einkäufe, Sport, Wellpass / Urban Sports Club oder vermögenswirksame Leistungen). - Rahmenbedingungen: 30 Tage Urlaub sowie betriebliche Altersvorsorge. DEIN PROFIL - Du hast Erfahrung in der Erstellung von Video- und/oder Grafik-Content und verstehst, wie Inhalte aufgebaut sein müssen, um Aufmerksamkeit zu erzeugen und zu funktionieren. Idealerweise hast du bereits im Performance- oder E-Commerce-Umfeld gearbeitet (z. B. Paid Ads auf Meta, TikTok o. Ä.). - Du arbeitest schnell, strukturiert und briefingstreu – du brauchst keine kreative Freiheit, um gute Ergebnisse zu liefern, sondern setzt klare Vorgaben zuverlässig und sauber um. - Du hast ein gutes Verständnis für funktionierende Creatives (Hook, Aufbau, Schnitt, Dynamik) und kannst bestehende Ansätze effizient in neue Varianten übersetzen. - Du bist stark in der operativen Umsetzung: Videoschnitt (z. B. CapCut, Premiere, After Effects) und Design (z. B. Photoshop, Figma) gehören zu deinem Alltag. - Du denkst in Output und Iteration statt in Einzelprojekten – viele solide Varianten schlagen für dich die eine „perfekte“ Idee. - Du arbeitest eigenständig, hältst Deadlines zuverlässig ein und verlierst auch bei vielen parallelen Aufgaben nicht den Überblick. - Du bist offen für Feedback und kannst deine Arbeit datenbasiert weiterentwickeln, ohne dich an einzelnen Ideen festzuklammern.
