Video Editor Short Form, YouTube & Personal Brand

I’m looking for an elite video editor who wants to help build and scale a personal brand long-term.
This is not a basic editing role, and I’m not looking for someone who just wants another freelance client.
I’m looking for someone who wants to take ownership, grow with the brand, and eventually become a major part of the creative team.
There is a TON of content to work with, years of existing trainings, coaching calls, podcasts, speaking clips, long-form videos, and new content being filmed consistently.
The opportunity is to help turn all of that into a powerful content engine.
What You’ll Be Creating
You need to be excellent at:
Short-form Reels, TikToks & YouTube Shorts
Long-form YouTube videos
Talking-head and podcast content
Video and static carousels
Trial Reels and different hook/content variations
Repurposing long-form content into multiple pieces
Promotional and offer-driven content
I care about storytelling, pacing, hooks, retention, typography, motion graphics, B-roll, sound design, music and visual storytelling.
But I don't want content that feels over-edited just for the sake of editing.
The brand should feel premium, clean, authoritative and intentional.
I Want Someone Who Thinks Beyond the Edit
I don't want to have to tell you every cut to make or every piece of content to create.
I want someone who can watch a 30-minute video and recognize:
“That's the hook.”
“That should be a Reel.”
“This would make a great carousel.”
“We should test three versions of this as Trial Reels.”
“There's a story buried in here that could become an entire piece of content.”
I want someone who understands personal branding, storytelling, attention, retention, marketing psychology and why certain content actually moves people.
The goal isn't just views.
It's building trust, authority, audience and ultimately qualified leads, clients, speaking opportunities and partnerships.
The Long-Term Opportunity
I've spent 10+ years in sales, communication, leadership and human behavior, trained thousands of people, and built and led high-performing sales teams.
I'm now putting a major focus on scaling my personal brand around communication, NLP, human behavior and sales psychology.
I'm looking for someone who sees the bigger opportunity in that.
Someone who goes above and beyond.
Someone who brings ideas without always being asked.
Someone who cares about the quality of the brand like it's partially theirs.
Someone who wants to eventually go full-time and take real ownership over helping us build this.
As you learn my voice, audience, offers and vision, I want you becoming more involved in creative direction, content ideas, testing, strategy and how the entire brand evolves.
