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.

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.
