About The Position

Task & Purpose is looking for a video editor to help produce military, defense, and national security videos for one of the largest military-focused YouTube channels in the U.S. We need an editor who can take a script, interview, or field shoot and turn it into a clear, sharp, well-paced video that retains viewers and builds loyalty. Our videos cover military technology, tactics, procurement, defense policy, current conflicts, and the very weird world of Pentagon decision-making. The tone is informed, conversational, skeptical, and occasionally irreverent. We explain complicated military topics to a broad audience without dumbing them down or talking down to them.
