About the role

  • Review generated videos and identify what’s working vs. what’s failing
  • Spot issues in pacing, story beats, retention, clarity, tone, and visual cohesion
  • Catch common failure patterns (awkward transitions, mismatched B-roll, generic motion graphics, inconsistent style, etc.)
  • Give direct, high-signal critique — the kind a strong editor gives in a team review
  • Create a clear “minimum viable quality” standard for outputs
  • Build a style bible / guidelines around pacing rules, structure & beats, transitions, motion graphics consistency, visual style cohesion, documentary/storytelling principles
  • Define what “human quality” means in a way that can be measured and improved
  • Translate editorial feedback into actionable direction engineers can implement
  • Provide examples, references, and patterns (what to do vs. what to avoid)
  • Run weekly feedback sessions with the team
  • Help non-editor developers build stronger creative instincts
  • Direct the evolution of our motion graphics library and overall visual style
  • Ensure cohesion (fonts, timing, visual language, rhythm)
  • Define SOPs for how visuals should support narrative beats
  • Align style across outputs so it feels consistent and intentional

Requirements

  • Strong experience editing or directing YouTube content with real retention instincts
  • A sharp eye for pacing, rhythm, narrative beats, and visual storytelling
  • Strong taste in motion graphics and visual cohesion
  • The ability to explain why something feels wrong and how to fix it
  • The ability to coach others — you can mentor editors or non-editors effectively
  • High standards + direct feedback style (we want someone who is critical)
  • Nice to Have
  • Experience with faceless documentary / video essay formats
  • Motion graphics experience (After Effects, templates, libraries)
  • Experience leading or training editing teams
  • Experience with SOP creation and production workflows
  • Strong understanding of what top creators do differently (beat timing, retention, pacing shifts)
Benefits
  • Small team, high ownership
  • We ship fast, measure results, and iterate weekly
  • You’ll work closely with founders and the dev team
  • Your feedback directly shapes what we build next
