Long-Form Video Editor (Vlog/Lifestyle)

Hi! We're building Scaley AI, a new AI tool for Google Ads media buying. We're launching soon. 🚀
We want to film the whole journey - building the product, scaling the team, the wins, the real decisions behind the scenes.
We need a long-form YouTube Editor who can turn raw footage into a story people can't stop watching. Think vlog and lifestyle. Long-form.
This is an Independent Contractor position.
🥇 What's In It For You:
Own the story: You're not editing random content. You're building the story of a company from day one.
Flexibility: Work 100% remote.
Front row seat: You'll see the launch, the strategy, the wins and the failures before anyone else does.
👇 What You'll Do:
Take hours of raw footage (sometimes just 30 minutes) and cut it into a tight, watchable long-form video
Build the story around the launch - this is the first big series we need!
Find the hook in the first 15 seconds. If people click off, we lost.
Pace each video so people stay to the end. No dead air. No dragging scenes.
Add music, sound design, and captions that fit the mood.
Work fast during the launch window. Some weeks will need quick turnarounds.
Talk directly with our founder and team to get context on what happened and why it matters.
👀 Who You Are:
Experienced: You've edited long-form YouTube content before. Lifestyle or vlog. Not just short-form clips or ads.
A storyteller first: You know how to find the story inside hours of footage. Editing skill alone isn't enough.
Fast with hooks and pacing: You know why viewers leave a video, and you know how to stop them from leaving.
Independent: You can take raw footage and a rough idea, then deliver a finished video with little hand-holding.
Proactive: You spot a better cut or a stronger hook without being asked to look for one.
