YOUTUBE VIDEO EDITOR
London (Office-Based)
Fixed-Term Contract | July – September
We’re looking for a YouTube Editor with strong DaVinci Resolve experience to cut a premium factual entertainment series featuring high-profile talent.
This isn’t traditional broadcast editing. We’re looking for someone who understands modern YouTube storytelling - pacing, momentum, retention and platform-native editing styles that keep audiences engaged without losing editorial quality.
The content combines studio discussion, social media clips, humour, factual storytelling and reaction-driven moments into highly engaging longform episodes built specifically for YouTube audiences.

This includes:
* Editing longform YouTube episodes in DaVinci Resolve
* Building engaging edits that prioritise pacing and audience retention
* Shaping story structure, momentum and visual rhythm
* Integrating graphics, UGC, social content and mixed-media assets
* Collaborating closely with producers and editorial teams
* Supporting cutdowns and additional social edits where needed
* Managing multiple episodes and quick turnaround timelines
We’re Looking For Someone Who:
* Has strong experience editing YouTube-first or digital-native content
* Is highly proficient in DaVinci Resolve
* Understands YouTube visual language and retention editing
* Has excellent storytelling and pacing instincts
* Is confident working with graphics, text and mixed-media workflows
* Has strong comedic timing and reaction-editing instincts
* Works well collaboratively in fast-moving production environments
Ideal Backgrounds Could Include:
* Creator-led YouTube content
