About the role

We are looking for a highly skilled, detail-oriented Social Media Video Editor to join the Yuusic team. You must be proficient in English. In this role, you will work directly with our founder, John, to scale his personal brand and elevate Yuusic's digital presence—primarily on YouTube, with cross-channel distribution on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. We are looking for a professional who takes extreme ownership of their craft. If you are obsessed with storytelling, pacing, and maximizing viewer retention, and you want to be a core player in a fast-paced music industry startup, we want to hear from you.

Key responsibilities

• Work closely with founder John to conceptualize, edit, and publish content that builds his personal brand and aligns with Yuusic's strategic goals

• Transform raw footage into polished, highly engaging long-form YouTube videos, strictly optimized for watch-time and audience retention

• Extract high-impact moments from long-form videos to create viral-style short-form content (Reels, TikToks, Shorts)

• Cut, trim, and sequence footage while integrating seamless transitions, motion graphics, and visual effects

• Elevate overall production value through color correction, color grading, sound design, and audio balancing

• Incorporate dynamic text, graphics, captions, and curated music/SFX to keep viewers hooked

• Organize, back up, and maintain project files, media libraries, and raw assets efficiently

• Review video analytics and stakeholder feedback to iterate on editing styles, staying ahead of YouTube and social media trends

About you

• 1+ years of professional experience editing video content specifically for YouTube and social media with a stellar portfolio of published work

• Expert-level proficiency in industry-standard editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve)

• Deep understanding of pacing, hook structures, and storytelling techniques specifically designed to maintain high audience retention on YouTube

• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, communicate proactively, and consistently hit tight turnaround times

• Experience with motion graphics and animation tools (e.g., Adobe After Effects)

• Strong familiarity with color grading and applying/tweaking LUTs

• Deep knowledge of YouTube optimization strategies (thumbnails, SEO, algorithm trends)

• Prior experience working with branded content, marketing campaigns, or creator-led storytelling projects

Benefits

• High-trust, flexible remote work with fully flexible schedule and 100% remote work environment

• Direct impact and autonomy working directly alongside the founding team and John with a voice in creative direction

• Music industry exposure and hands-on experience working at the intersection of content creation and the global music industry

• Professional growth with investment in team development as the brand and company scale
