LONG FORM VIDEO EDITOR – YOUTUBE

Architek, a UK-based architecture technology startup, is hiring a Long Form Video Editor for YouTube to join their remote content team. This is a post-production role sitting at the centre of the company’s content output, responsible for delivering three to four edited long-form YouTube videos per month alongside a consistent volume of short-form cuts for social platforms. The role suits an experienced YouTube editor who has built a post-production workflow around creator or documentary-style content and understands retention-led storytelling from the first frame.

About the Role

Architek produces founder-led content built around its software products and the UK architecture industry, and this Long Form Video Editor for YouTube will own the edit from raw footage through to final delivery. A typical week involves cutting long-form videos of ten to eighteen minutes, pulling short-form content from the same shoots, and developing a visual system of motion graphics and animated text that gives the channel a consistent identity. Footage, scripts, and story arcs come from the production team, so the work is purely editorial and creative, not organisational.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit three to four long-form YouTube videos per month at ten to eighteen minutes each, with every cut serving the story arc rather than the clock.
• Cut eight to twelve short-form videos per month from long-form footage, formatted for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts.
• Build recurring motion graphics, animated text overlays, and transition systems in After Effects that establish a consistent on-brand visual language across the channel.
• Apply pacing and hook construction principles specific to YouTube retention curves, knowing when a hold serves the edit better than a cut.
• Turn around each long-form edit within forty hours of receiving footage, maintaining output quality across a high-volume post-production schedule.
• Work directly with the founder and content strategist in tight feedback loops, iterating quickly on notes during UK working hours via Slack.

What You Bring

• A portfolio of long-form YouTube edits for founders, business creators, or documentary-style channels, with a reel that demonstrates storytelling not just technical finishing.
• Professional fluency in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, with After Effects experience essential for motion graphics work.
• Demonstrated ability to sustain quality across high-volume output without turnaround times affecting the standard of the work.
• A genuine understanding of YouTube-specific post-production workflow, including audience retention, hook structure, and chapter pacing.

Why This Role

Architek is a growing UK tech brand with an existing community of over two hundred architecture practices and a content channel that is being built to scale, meaning this Long Form Video Editor for YouTube is coming in at the point where the visual identity is still being defined. The role carries real creative ownership, with a direct line to the founder rather than a layer of production management between the editor and the decision-maker. Compensation is competitive and the position is full-time remote.
