About the role
We're looking for a skilled Video Editor / After Effects VFX Artist to help us create high-quality, fast-paced YouTube content.
This is not a traditional raw-footage editing role. Our team handles the main story, hook, pacing, and pre-cut edit. Your main job will be to elevate the edit with high-quality VFX, motion graphics, effects, and visual polish.
The Style We're Going For
We're aiming for a style similar to:
MrBeast
Ben Azelart
Stokes Twins
Other high-energy, retention-focused YouTube creators
The goal is for the final video to feel polished, exciting, and professional --- not basic or overly simple.
What You'll Be Doing:
You'll work from a pre-cut video and add:
After Effects / VFX
Motion graphics
Speed ramps
Slow-mo ? normal speed ? slow-mo effects
Object highlights and glows
Colored glows on objects/doors/etc.
Shiny object effects
Dynamic zooms and punch-ins
Transitions
On-screen graphics and animations
Visual effects that enhance jokes, reactions, and important moments
Other creative effects that improve viewer retention
We want someone who knows when and where to use effects, not someone who simply adds effects everywhere.
What We're Looking For:
Strong After Effects skills
Strong VFX and motion graphics experience
Experience editing YouTube content
Good understanding of pacing and viewer retention
Strong visual storytelling
Ability to follow an existing edit without changing the story
Ability to take feedback and work from editing notes
High attention to detail
Clean, polished work
DaVinci Resolve experience is a plus, as we're looking to work within a collaborative editing workflow.
Bonus
You can create YouTube thumbnails
Experience with MrBeast, Ben Azelart, Stokes Twins, or similar content
Experience working with creators or YouTube channels
What You'll Receive
Our team will provide the pre-cut/edit-ready video and direction. You'll focus on taking that edit to the next level through VFX, motion graphics, and visual polish.
We already have projects ready, so there is an opportunity for ongoing work if it's a good fit.
Work Location: Remote
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
