Podcast Long-Form Video Editor for @UnlearnedWisdom

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days):

Your Core Responsibilities (These should be A-Player outcomes, not just tasks):

• Full Lifecycle Video Editing: Own the entire post-production for 1-2 long-form YouTube episodes per week, including multi-cam assembly, story editing, color grading, sound mixing, and adding all creative/graphical elements.
• Creative Storytelling: Go beyond just cutting. Identify the most powerful moments, and structure the edit to maximize emotional impact and audience retention.
• Brand & Quality Control: Act as the final guardian for all long-form content. Ensure every second of video aligns with our brand, our mission, and our high standard of technical excellence (no audio pops, no color issues, no typos).
• Asset & Project Management: Meticulously organize all project files, raw footage, B-roll, and graphic assets in our systems (ClickUp & Google Drive), ensuring seamless handoffs and archiving.
• Performance Analysis: Review the performance of every episode you cut. Analyze YouTube Studio retention graphs to understand what's working and what's not, and bring those insights to the next edit.
• Collaborative Revisions: Work directly with the Head of Content to receive and execute feedback efficiently and with a positive, solutions-oriented attitude.
