About The Role

We are looking for a Video Editor to edit videos of our YouTube, social and campaign output - long-form explainers, parent testimonials, teacher features, campus and classroom footage, ads and Shorts. You will work directly with the YouTube Manager on a planned content calendar, not on ad-hoc requests.

Expected output is roughly 15 long-form videos and [20-25] Shorts a month, so we need someone fast who does not trade speed for sloppiness. Retention is the metric that matters: we care less about how a cut looks in isolation and more about whether viewers are still watching at the four-minute mark.

This is a hands-on craft role with real ownership of the visual language of the channel - templates, motion system, pacing conventions - not a render-and-export seat.

Key Responsibilities

Editing & post-production

Cut long-form videos end to end: assembly, story structure, pacing, B-roll, music and sound design.
Edit for retention - tight cold opens, no dead air, visual change every few seconds, ruthless removal of anything that does not earn its place.




Handle colour correction and grading, audio cleanup, levelling and mixing to a consistent standard.
Produce accurate on-screen captions and burned-in subtitles, including for non-native-English viewers.

Motion graphics & brand system

Build lower thirds, titles, kinetic text, transitions, animated explainers and end cards in the 21K brand system.
Create and maintain a reusable template pack so common elements do not get rebuilt every time.
Turn academic and admissions information into transparent visual explainers - curriculum comparisons, timelines, process flows.

Shorts, social & campaigns

Identify and cut Shorts and Reels from long-form footage with hook-first openings, not trimmed leftovers.
Version content correctly for each platform: aspect ratios, safe areas, durations, caption placement, thumbnails frames.
Edit performance-marketing creatives to brief, including multiple variants for testing.
