About Proppel

Proppel is a recruitment agency connecting top talent across the US, Canada, and Latin America with opportunities at some of the most exciting companies in the world.

Whether you are looking for your next role or the right move to advance your career, we will make it happen. 

What we're looking for 

We are partnering with a fast-growing, US-based educational media company with a YouTube channel of over 350,000 subscribers, teaching everyday audiences how to navigate Medicare and Social Security with confidence. This is a small, founder-led team that cares deeply about clarity, trust, and content that genuinely helps people. They are looking for a full-time Video Editor to take real ownership of their long-form and short-form video, not just cut footage, but shape how their story lands and keeps viewers watching.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own the editing of long-form YouTube videos (typically 20 to 30 minutes) built around educational, authority-driven content.
• Cut short-form vertical clips for YouTube Shorts, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
• Make independent creative calls on pacing, structure, and retention, rather than waiting for step-by-step direction.
• Add motion graphics, text, punch-ins, and visual emphasis that improve clarity and understanding.
• Suggest improvements to structure and flow, and keep a consistent style, clean audio, and reliable deadlines.
• Work toward a target cadence of 4 to 5 long-form videos a week, ramping up to 3 to 4 short-form clips a day.
• A portfolio or showreel with recent long-form and short-form editing samples.

Requirements

• Proven experience editing long-form YouTube content, with a strong grasp of hooks, pacing, and retention.
• Comfort editing both horizontal (16:9) and vertical (9:16) formats.
• Proficiency in professional editing software (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve).
• Ability to create original visual effects and motion graphics in After Effects (or equivalent).
• Very strong written and spoken English, since the content is technical and nuanced.
• Initiative, ownership, and fast, reliable communication.

Nice to Have

• Experience editing educational or explainer content.
• Experience editing ads or promotional videos.

Benefits

• Competitive USD salary.
• 100% remote work.
• Paid Time Off.
