Youtube Video Editor

List25 is hiring a YouTube Video Editor to join their remote team, based out of London, England. This role sits squarely in post-production, responsible for taking raw footage through to a publish-ready final cut on long-form YouTube content with billions of cumulative views behind it. It suits an editor who has built a real understanding of digital video workflow and knows how audience retention works at the timeline level, not just as an analytics concept.

About the Role

List25 is one of YouTube’s longest-running list-format channels, and the post-production pipeline here reflects the volume and consistency that comes with that scale. The YouTube Video Editor works directly with the script and production team to shape each video from rough cut to export, handling everything from voiceover sync to colour grading within a remote, async workflow. A typical day involves cutting narration-driven edits against b-roll and motion graphics, managing revision rounds efficiently, and keeping the visual storytelling tight across a consistent publishing schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit long-form YouTube videos from rough assembly through to final export, ensuring each cut is publish-ready without additional supervision.
• Sync voiceover, licensed music, and sound effects to build an audio-visual experience that holds viewer attention across the full runtime.
• Integrate motion graphics, lower thirds, and text overlays that align with the established List25 on-screen style.
• Apply colour grading across all deliverables to maintain a consistent visual tone from video to video.
• Manage multiple revision rounds within a remote post-production workflow, incorporating feedback accurately and on schedule.
• Analyse pacing decisions at the cut level to reduce audience drop-off, treating retention as a core editorial discipline rather than an afterthought.

What You Bring

• A portfolio of long-form YouTube content edits, required for application review.
• Proficiency in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve, with After Effects experience a strong advantage for motion graphics work.
• Demonstrated understanding of YouTube retention mechanics and what causes viewer drop-off in list-style or educational video formats.
• Comfort working async in a distributed post-production team, with a reliable track record on deadlines.
• Basic sound design or audio mixing capability is a plus, as is the ability to produce simple animated graphics without a dedicated motion designer.

Why This Role

List25 brings a level of editorial scale that most YouTube post-production roles cannot offer, with a back catalogue spanning billions of views and a format that has genuinely shaped the list-video genre. This YouTube Video Editor position is available on a part-time or full-time basis, giving candidates flexibility while working within an established production identity. For an editor looking to build credits in high-output digital content production, this is a channel with real visibility.
