YouTube Editor

Job Purpose

The YouTube Long-Form Editor owns the end-to-end edit pipeline across two channels in The Scalable Company's orbit:

• Roland Frasier (partner): 3-4 long-form videos per month, totaling 3–6 hours of finished content.
• Ryan Deiss (CEO): 3-4 long-form videos per month, totaling 3–6 hours of finished content. 

You're the person who turns hours of unstructured camera files into the kind of long-form videos that actually get watched: tight pacing, clean audio, deliberate B-roll, and structure that earns the viewer's attention all the way through.

Important context: Until now, both channels have been edited by an outside agency. You are not stepping into a polished in-house pipeline. You are stepping in to build it. The templates, the asset libraries, the project organization, the revision workflow, the feedback loops — none of that exists in-house yet. You'll be designing and refining those foundational systems alongside the Senior Content Strategist as you do the work.

This is a, strategic, hands-on craft role, and a system-building role. Success looks like videos that publish on time, hold retention above benchmark, require minimal revision rounds — and a documented edit workflow that any future team member could plug into.

Success in this role is measured by on-time publish cadence across both channels, average view duration, revision efficiency, the quality bar of every finished cut, and the durability of the workflows you build.

Critical Accountabilities

• Own the long-form edit pipeline across both channels — taking raw footage to publish-ready cut for 3-4 Roland Frasier videos per month (~30 min finished length each) and 3-4 Ryan Deiss videos per month (~30 min finished length each). 
• Build the foundational in-house edit workflow from scratch — templates, asset organization, revision loops, feedback systems, project archiving. By month 3, the workflow should be documented well enough that a future team member could plug into it without a 4-week ramp.
• Build and refine each channel's edit signature — pacing, B-roll usage, music/SFX choices, lower-thirds, transitions. Roland and Ryan have distinct voices and audiences. Your job is to make each channel feel unmistakably like itself.
• Manage project files, asset libraries, and version control in Frame.io and Premiere — projects organized, archives clean, revisions clearly tracked so nothing gets lost or duplicated.
• Direct your own creative decisions on cuts, pacing, and structure — bring the Senior Content Strategist a draft that's ready to evaluate, not a rough assembly that requires rebuilding.
• Iterate fast on revision feedback — target is ≤2 revision rounds per video. You take notes well, ask the right clarifying questions before opening the project, and ship the next version quickly.
