Long-Form YouTube Video Editor — B2B & Founder Media

Single Grain • Los Angeles, CA

21d • Remote

About The Position

We are hiring long-form YouTube video editors for Eric Siu's AI, marketing, business, entrepreneur, and podcast content. The role involves shaping raw conversations and recordings into clear, high-retention videos. The editor will own the cold open, story structure, pacing, visual support, audio, captions, revisions, and final handoff. This is not an assembly-line edit role; it requires the judgment to find the story, remove unnecessary content, and make complex ideas easy to follow. Single Grain is a revenue marketing agency that helps companies drive measurable growth. Eric Siu hosts the Leveling Up podcast and co-hosts Marketing School with Neil Patel, reaching marketers, founders, and operators. The team operates as an AI-native team, using AI to enhance speed, quality, judgment, and leverage, but with strong human taste and quality control.

Your mission is to publish clear, current, high-retention long-form YouTube videos on schedule and improve the production system with every release. The primary KPI is reliable weekly delivery that improves first-30-second retention, average percentage viewed, first-pass approval, or qualified CTA actions from the first-30-day baseline.

Requirements

• Two complete, recent long-form YouTube or video-podcast examples for B2B, AI, SaaS, business, entrepreneur, marketing, finance, or expert-led creators.
• Demonstrate exact contribution to story, cold open, pacing, graphics, audio, and final delivery.
• Evidence of ability to make editorial decisions without frame-by-frame direction.
• A concrete AI-assisted workflow and a clear QA method.
• Reliable turnaround, organized files, and a professional revision process.
• Quantified retention, production, CTA, lead, or business-outcome evidence attributable to your work.
• Must include “Editing is cool” in the subject line of the application.

Responsibilities

• Review source recordings, transcripts, outlines, and creative direction.
• Build cold opens that establish the promise fast and earn the next minute.
• Shape the full story: remove repetition, clarify ideas, strengthen transitions, and protect momentum.
• Use graphics, motion, B-roll, screen captures, text, music, and silence with purpose.
• Clean and mix audio, create accurate captions, and deliver platform-ready exports.
• Use AI for transcript analysis, selects, rough cuts, cleanup, captions, graphics, or quality control while keeping editorial judgment human.
• Maintain organized project files, versions, naming, and handoff notes.
• Use retention, revision, and publishing feedback to improve the next video.
• Coordinate with the strategist, thumbnail designer, and publishing owner.

Benefits

• Fully remote contractor role
