[Hiring] YouTube Long-Form Editor @The Scalable Company

Role Description

The YouTube Long-Form Editor owns the end-to-end edit pipeline across two channels in The Scalable Company's orbit:

• Roland Frasier (partner): 3-4 long-form videos per month, totaling 3–6 hours of finished content.
• Ryan Deiss (CEO): 3-4 long-form videos per month, totaling 3–6 hours of finished content.

You're the person who turns hours of unstructured camera files into the kind of long-form videos that actually get watched: tight pacing, clean audio, deliberate B-roll, and structure that earns the viewer's attention all the way through.

Important context: Until now, both channels have been edited by an outside agency. You are not stepping into a polished in-house pipeline. You are stepping in to build it. The templates, the asset libraries, the project organization, the revision workflow, the feedback loops — none of that exists in-house yet. You'll be designing and refining those foundational systems alongside the Senior Content Strategist as you do the work.

This is a strategic, hands-on craft role, and a system-building role. Success looks like videos that publish on time, hold retention above benchmark, require minimal revision rounds — and a documented edit workflow that any future team member could plug into.

Success in this role is measured by:

• On-time publish cadence across both channels.
• Average view duration.
• Revision efficiency.
• The quality bar of every finished cut.
• The durability of the workflows you build.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of full-time experience editing long-form YouTube content (15+ minute videos).
• Portfolio of at least 5 published long-form edits where you were the primary editor.
• Strong motion graphics and animation proficiency.
• Expert-level Davinci Resolve Studio or Adobe Premiere Pro proficiency.
• Strong audio engineering instincts.
• Demonstrated storytelling instinct.
• Frame.io (or equivalent review tool) proficiency.
• Self-managing on deadlines.
• AI fluency.
• A workstation capable of editing 4K ProRes footage without performance issues.
• Strong written communication.

Requirements

• Build the foundational in-house edit workflow from scratch.
• Manage project files, asset libraries, and version control in Frame.io and Premiere.
• Direct your own creative decisions on cuts, pacing, and structure.
• Iterate fast on revision feedback — target is ≤2 revision rounds per video.
• Watch the analytics on your own work.

• Health, Dental, + Vision Insurance
• HSA Plan with Company Matching (for eligible HDHP enrollees)
• Company-Paid Telemedicine Plan
• Company-Paid Mental Wellness, Financial Wellness, + Legal Counseling Services
