Video Editor, The Diary Of A CEO

FlightStory is hiring a Video Editor for The Diary of a CEO, based in Los Angeles. This is a post-production role sitting within the show’s editorial team, responsible for cutting weekly long-form podcast episodes from multicam footage into finished YouTube releases that routinely reach millions of viewers. The role suits an editor with a background in long-form interview or documentary post-production workflow who understands how pacing decisions translate directly into watch-time performance.

About the Role

The editorial team at The Diary of a CEO operates on a weekly publishing cadence, which means this editor owns episodes end-to-end from raw camera acquisition through to delivery-ready cuts. Each episode is built from 9 to 13 multicam angles, requiring confident timeline management and a strong instinct for narrative structure across extended runtimes. Day-to-day work involves editing full episodes, attending pre-production conversations to align on creative direction, and contributing to the team’s shared systems and post-production workflow.

Key Responsibilities

• Cut and deliver weekly long-form podcast episodes in Adobe Premiere Pro, managing multicam timelines with 9 to 13 camera angles and multiple audio channels.
• Apply retention-focused editing techniques, making pacing and structural choices informed by YouTube analytics and an understanding of audience drop-off curves.
• Participate in pre-production outlines to ensure the editorial approach is aligned before recording begins.
• Research competitor long-form content and current YouTube trends to inform editorial decisions and keep the show at the standard of the genre.
• Build and maintain organised project files, folder structures, and post-production workflow systems that scale across the team.
• Share editing techniques, feedback, and process improvements with fellow editors to raise collective output quality.

What You Bring

• Minimum 3 years of professional editing experience with a portfolio demonstrating long-form multicam work across podcasts, interviews, or documentary production.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, including multicam sequence management, audio syncing, and large project file organisation.
• Demonstrated understanding of retention metrics and how editorial pacing affects viewer behaviour on YouTube.
• Strong communication and organisational skills suited to a high-output, in-person production environment.
• A solutions-oriented approach to feedback and a willingness to experiment with new editorial techniques.

Why This Role

The Diary of a CEO is among the most-watched long-form interview programs on YouTube globally, giving the Video Editor in this role genuine scale and visibility for their editorial work. FlightStory operates as an in-person studio culture in Los Angeles, which means direct access to senior creatives and a tight editorial team rather than a remote or fragmented post-production setup. For an editor looking to build a body of work in high-volume, high-performance long-form content, this is a credible next step.

Apply now for the Video Editor position at FlightStory and bring your long-form editorial experience to one of the most-watched podcast productions in the world.
