THE ROLE

Mobbin is looking for a YouTube Video Editor to help us turn raw footage into videos worth watching twice. Over the past 4 years, Mobbin has grown to 3M+ registered users almost entirely through product and organic word-of-mouth. Since Mobbin is a visual product, it's best understood through visual education, and we're doubling down on video as a primary growth engine. This is a hands-on editing role. Scripting, filming, and strategy are handled by the team. Your job is to take that raw material and cut it into videos that feel as premium and intentional as the Mobbin product itself. You'll be working directly with Rachel How who runs the Mobbin YouTube channel and her personal channel

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Edit long-form YouTube videos: From raw footage, screen recordings, and scripts — talking-head pieces, UI/UX teardowns, product deep-dives, and educational content. Own pacing and story in the cut. Trim the fat, find the rhythm, and keep viewers watching. A great edit should make a 12-minute video feel like 6. Sound design & mixing: Clean dialogue, tasteful music selection, and sound effects that add polish without calling attention to themselves. Visual clarity: Color correction, clean captions/subtitles, and simple on-screen text and callouts that make UI details legible and easy to follow. Iterate fast: Turn around edits on a predictable schedule, incorporate feedback in tight loops, and keep project files organized so nothing gets lost between rounds.

YOU SHOULD

Be a master of the edit: You have a portfolio (or channel) that proves you can tell a story in the timeline. You care about pacing, sound design, and visual clarity. And it shows in your work. Have great taste: You understand why designers love Mobbin. You can watch a screen recording of an app and instinctively know which moments deserve a slow push-in and which should be cut. You can understand how a script translates into an edit intuitively and how it could resonate with the Mobbin audience and branding. Know YouTube as a format: You understand retention curves, hooks, and why the first 30 seconds matter. You edit for viewers, not just for the brief. You understand an edit makes or breaks attention in long form videos. Be fluent in your tools: Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent. We care about the output, not the software. Be reliable and self-directed: As a part-time contractor you'll manage your own schedule. We need someone who communicates clearly, hits agreed deadlines, and flags problems early. Bonus: Motion graphics chops (After Effects), collaborated using Frame.io or equivalent before, thumbnail design sense, or experience editing for any other YouTube channels.
