You know Premiere Pro and After Effects cold.
You understand pacing, story and retention, not just cutting.
You can read an SOP and nail the client's style, not your own.

You hit deadlines without anyone chasing you.

Don't apply if any of these is true

You're starting out or want to learn how to edit.
You can't deliver a produced 10 to 20 minute video start to finish.
Your portfolio is weddings, events or corporate.
You need someone to tell you where to cut.
You only work in your own style and don't adapt to the client.

If you meet all of the above, keep reading.

The role

What you'll actually do.

Viral Bangers is a done-for-you YouTube agency for experts and personal brands who sell high-ticket offers. Our clients are US and UK personal brand channels. We find the clients, write the scripts and send the footage with a full brief. You edit. We're not looking for someone who just cuts fast: we want editors who understand retention, handle advanced motion graphics and sound design, and nail each client's style by following our SOPs.

Responsibilities

Edit long-form YouTube videos of 10 to 20 minutes start to finish, plus Shorts, VSLs and ads when needed.
Build your own animated graphics, worked b-roll and sound design.
Follow each client's brief, brand kit and SOP to the letter.
Apply written QC feedback and deliver clean final versions.
Deliver on the dates in ClickUp and flag any risk before the deadline.

Requirements

What you need to have.

Premiere Pro and After Effects at a professional level.
A portfolio of long-form YouTube videos you edited yourself.
Capacity for 2 to 4 videos a month, consistently.
Written English good enough for briefs and feedback.

What we look for

You read the brief before you open the timeline.
You check your own work before you send it.
You ask early when something isn't clear.
You care about retention, not just looks.

Pay and conditions

How you're paid.

$100 to $400 per video, depending on your level. We set your level from your first deliveries.

L1: $100 to $160 per video. L2: $200 to $250. L3: $250 to $350. L4: $350 to $400.

2 to 4 videos a month guaranteed in writing, plus 20% on top of your rate every time you deliver inside the deadline.

Paid in USD by ACH or bank transfer. You see the brief and budget of every video before you accept it.

Getting in means a 48-hour test with real footage and our brief. It is a test clip, not client work, and it is not paid.
