Lead Video Editor – Build & Lead A Remote Editing Team (Santiago)

Job Position(s): Lead Video Editor - Build & Lead A Remote Editing Team (Santiago)

A Impact Media is hiring a Lead Video Editor to join their remote post-production operation, based in Santiago, Región Metropolitana. This role sits inside a structured editing pod system focused on YouTube content output, where you will both cut complex projects yourself and build the team responsible for delivering consistent, retention-driven edits at scale. It suits an experienced editor who has moved beyond purely hands-on work and is ready to own quality standards and team development inside a digital content post-production workflow.

About the Role

You will work inside A Impact Media’s YouTube-focused post-production department, contributing to a content slate that requires both editorial craft and operational discipline. The split between editing and management means your typical day involves reviewing team cuts, coaching editors on pacing and retention hooks, and picking up the more complex sequences yourself. You will partner directly with Pod Managers, YouTube Managers, and Strategists to keep output aligned with performance goals.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish and maintain editorial quality standards across the pod, reviewing cuts at each stage of the post-production workflow to ensure consistency before delivery.
• Handle hands-on editing of complex or high-priority YouTube projects that require senior-level judgment on structure, pacing, and audience retention.
• Recruit, onboard, and develop a team of video editors, providing ongoing coaching and structured feedback tied to measurable output quality.
• Build and refine team systems including revision processes, edit templates, and turnaround protocols that support scalable YouTube production output.
• Coordinate with YouTube Managers and Strategists to ensure editorial choices serve channel growth objectives and retention metrics.
• Track pod performance and editor development, identifying workflow bottlenecks and resolving them before they affect delivery schedules.

What You Bring

• Proven experience as a senior or lead editor in a digital content or YouTube-specific post-production environment.
• Strong command of professional editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve within a collaborative remote workflow.
• A track record of editing for audience retention, with credits across high-volume YouTube or digital video production.
• Prior experience managing or mentoring editors, including giving structured notes and overseeing team output quality.
• Comfort working remotely across time zones with asynchronous communication tools as part of a distributed production team.

Why This Role

A Impact Media operates a structured pod model that gives lead editors real authority over their team’s output rather than a token management title alongside a full editing workload. The role is fully remote, which opens genuine flexibility for a Santiago-based professional without sacrificing access to a serious YouTube content production operation. For an editor ready to step into post-production leadership, this is a direct path to owning a team and a slate.
