YouTube Video Editor (High-Retention / ADHD-Focused Content) – Long-Term Opportunity

🌍 Remote, USA 🎯 Full-time 🕐 Posted Recently

Job Description

We’re looking for an elite YouTube video editor who understands retention-based editing and knows how to keep viewers hooked from start to finish.

This is not basic editing.

We create content for an audience of millions (3M+ followers) focused on ADHD, productivity, and high performance — and our editing style needs to match how fast and dynamic the ADHD brain works.

An example of our content and what we're looking for: https://www.youtube.com/watch'v=-C1DR2e7FK4

If you know how to turn videos into high-retention, binge-worthy content, keep reading.

What You’ll Be Working On

  • Long-form YouTube videos (8–20 minutes)
  • Short-form content (Reels / Shorts – optional but a plus)
  • Content viewed by millions of people

A fast-growing personal brand in the ADHD / productivity space

What We Need (This Is Key)

We are specifically looking for someone who understands:

Retention editing (VERY important)

Fast pacing without overwhelming the viewer

Visual storytelling (not just cutting clips). We have a library of over 2TB high quality b-roll ready to go.

Editing for watch time, not aesthetics

You should be comfortable using:

Jump cuts, zooms, motion graphics

B-roll, memes, overlays, subtitles

Sound design that enhances engagement

Strategic pacing (slowing down vs speeding up intentionally)

Ideal Candidate

Has edited for YouTube creators (REQUIRED)

Bonus if you’ve worked in:

  • ADHD / self-improvement / education content
  • Alex Hormozi / Iman Gadzhi / Ali Abdaal style content
  • Understands YouTube retention curves
  • Thinks like a content strategist, not just an editor
  • Brings ideas, not just execution

What Success Looks Like

Higher average view duration

Strong hooks and no drop-offs in the first 30–60 seconds

Viewers staying engaged throughout the video

Content that feels addictive to watch

Long-Term Opportunity

We are looking for one core editor to grow with us long-term.

  • Consistent weekly work
  • Opportunity to become the lead editor on a major brand
  • Build a portfolio with content seen by millions

Budget

Per video or monthly retainer (depending on fit and experience)

We’re willing to pay premium for the right person

How to Apply (IMPORTANT)

Please include:

  • Links to your best YouTube edits (with retention-focused work)
  • Before/after examples if available

A short explanation of:

  • How you think about retention
  • How you would improve a typical talking-head video
  • Your favorite YouTube creator (and why their editing works)

⚠️ If This Is You…

You don’t just “edit videos.”

You engineer attention.

You understand how the brain works — especially fast-moving, dopamine-driven brains.

And you want to work on content that actually impacts millions of people.
