Task & Purpose is looking for a video editor to help produce military, defense, and national security videos for one of the largest military-focused YouTube channels in the U.S. We need an editor who can take a script, interview, or field shoot and turn it into a clear, sharp, well-paced video that retains viewers and builds loyalty. Our videos cover military technology, tactics, procurement, defense policy, current conflicts, and the very weird world of Pentagon decision-making. The tone is informed, conversational, skeptical, and occasionally irreverent. We explain complicated military topics to a broad audience without dumbing them down or talking down to them. Responsibilities / Qualifications

Comprehensive knowledge of Adobe Premiere, Photoshop & After Effects. Ideation and implementation of animations and graphics (maps, charts, diagrams, etc) from script with minimal to no direction needed. Gathering of appropriate and accurate b-roll video and imagery from all sources, ensuring proper usage rights and alignment with factual script elements. Familiarity with military equipment and platforms. Ability to edit two 16-to-20-minute videos and four 10-minute videos every month, reserving 1-2 days to implement notes from the team. Deep understanding of best practices for pacing, music, and video structure. Solid understanding of YouTube delivery elements (chaptering, thumbnail, format, trends, etc). 3-6 years of experience in editing & motion graphics (experience on YouTube preferred) In short, a qualified candidate will have the skills necessary to produce videos in this format and of this quality (b-roll acquisition & vetting, picture edit, motion graphics and animation, music edit, sound design and mix, color, etc): The ideal editor does not need to be a veteran or a defense expert, but they must be curious, reliable, have sound judgment, and a passion for making complicated issues understandable.
