 <ul>
 <li>
 Edit long-form podcasts, interviews, social shows and high-performing clips for YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, X and other social platforms.
 </li>
 <li>
 Own clip-farming workflows: identifying moments, shaping hooks, tightening pacing and packaging content for maximum reach.
 </li>
 <li>
 Design and execute motion elements &mdash; titles, lower thirds, light animations and visual emphasis &mdash; primarily in After Effects.
 </li>
 <li>
 Help translate dense or complex journalism into clear, creator-style video that performs on social while maintaining editorial integrity.
 </li>
 <li>
 Write platform-native headlines and captions that increase click-through, retention and sharing.
 </li>
 <li>
 Collaborate with producers, hosts, and social editors to align clips with daily news priorities and audience strategy.
 </li>
 <li>
 Edit both rapid-response news clips and evergreen content with long-tail potential.

 <li>
 Manage YouTube Studio uploads, metadata, thumbnails, and publishing workflows.
 </li>
 <li>
 Track performance and iterate based on audience behavior and analytics.

 Occasionally support basic filming needs (in-studio or on-site): holding camera, framing shots, capturing clean audio, and handling simple lighting setups.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 The Skills And Experience You Bring
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 2+ years of professional video editing experience, with strong social examples. Preferably experience working at a new-media or digital-first media organization (not traditional broadcast).
 </li>

 Primary editing experience in YouTube and social video &mdash; podcasts, interviews, social shows or creator-led formats. High proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro.
 </li>
 <li>
 Strong working knowledge of After Effects for motion graphics, text animation and visual polish.
 </li>
 <li>
 Experience designing thumbnails and social assets using Photoshop and/or Illustrator.

 <li>
 Comfort managing YouTube Studio, metadata, titles, descriptions and thumbnails.
 </li>
 <li>
 Comfortable with basic camera operation, framing, and audio capture when needed. Experience filming on DSLR/mirrorless cameras or iPhones.
 </li>
 <li>
 Familiarity with analytics tools (YouTube Analytics, CrowdTangle, Sprout, etc.).
 </li>
 <li>
 Some exposure to AI tools is a plus.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Collaboration makes us stronger. That&rsquo;s why our offices are designed with open layouts, modern technology, and easy access to transportation. With certain exceptions for newsgathering and business travel, we work on-site five days a week.
