- Handle audio cleanup, leveling, and general sound polish
- Produce rough cuts and iterate quickly based on feedback
- Deliver final exports optimized for YouTube and other channels
- Maintain a consistent style and quality bar across multiple brands and projects
- Improve our workflow over time (templates, presets, reusable motion systems)

- Proven experience editing YouTube videos or long-form educational content
- Strong editorial judgment: pacing, structure, clarity, and storytelling
- Motion design ability (After Effects or equivalent) for clean, modern, functional animation
- High attention to detail across cuts, timing, audio, and on-screen text
- Strong taste: you know what looks modern vs outdated
