Freelance YouTube Editor — AI Tech Unicorn Project

(w/ MrBeast Director + Producer)
Contract | $6K flat per video | Edit kickoff: week of May 18

We’re looking for a freelance YouTube editor to partner on a new series for a leading AI tech company, working closely with a top MrBeast director + producer.

This is a high-bar project and a chance to work on something that’s very intentionally built for YouTube performance.

We are explicitly looking for editors who understand retention editing:

• Editing with a clear viewer retention strategy

• Obsessing over the first 90 seconds

• Making it impossible to click away

• Structuring edits around curiosity, payoff, and escalation

• Have experience editing YouTube-first content, preferably for multi-million view creator channels

• Have a strong sense of pacing and story

• Think about viewer experience and flow, not just visuals

• Can take a structured concept and make it feel engaging and watchable throughout

• Have worked on challenge-based formats or performance-driven YouTube content

• Are proficient in motion design and graphics

• Rate: $6,000 flat (per video)

• Edit kickoff: Targeting week of May 18 (may shift slightly with production)

• Opportunity for ongoing work if it’s a strong fit

If this sounds like your kind of project, we’d love to see your work!

• A few examples of videos you’ve edited

• Anything that shows your sense of pacing / storytelling
