YouTube Editor

About KNWN Local We run YouTube channels, email newsletters, and social content for 100+ real estate professionals. Full service. Done for you. Our clients close $10M to $1B+ in sales a year. Most of them will tell you their channel is the single best marketing investment they've ever made. Last month, 30 clients reported wins. 373+ leads. $85M-$100M+ in attributable sales. And we're growing every month. We're not a freelancer marketplace or a content mill. We run pods. Each pod is strategist, junior strategist, YouTube manager, plus editors, writers, and designers. One team. 15+ clients. That pod owns everything. We're scaling from 100 clients to 300 to 1,000+. That means more pods, more editors, and more people who can ship quality work on deadline without anyone hovering. If you're reading this and thinking \"that sounds like a lot,\" good. It is. Keep reading. Role You edit real estate YouTube videos that generate leads, build trust, and drive millions in sales for our clients. Direct-to-camera, area tours, market updates, agent expertise. You take raw footage and turn it into something people actually watch to the end. You'll work within a pod under a YouTube Manager, alongside strategists, writers, and designers. You're not working in a vacuum. You're part of a production system that ships 4 videos per client per month across 15+ clients per pod. The standard is high. The turnaround is fast. If that excites you more than it scares you, keep reading. Responsibilities
* Edit and deliver 2 videos per week during your 60-day trial, ramping to 3+ per week once fully onboarded. Consistent 72-hour turnaround times.
* QC your own work against our editing checklist before submitting. Your manager shouldn't be catching mistakes you could have caught yourself.
* Communicate daily, promptly, and often. If you go quiet, that's a problem.
* Report progress daily and align priorities to maintain seamless workflows.
* Conduct retention reviews on your edits. What held attention, what didn't, and what you're changing next time.
* Conduct competitor analysis and trend research to stay ahead of what's working on YouTube right now.
* Keep project files and asset management organized and up to date. If someone else needs to find your files, they should be able to.
* Share editing resources (motion graphics templates, intros, assets) with other team members. Hoarding slows everyone down.
* Identify potential challenges early and communicate solutions before they become problems.
* Provide feedback on raw footage to the production team so future shoots give you better material to work with.
* Collaborate with team members to create engaging promotional content from long‑form edits.
* Contribute to data collection, video retention graphs, and post‑mortem reviews for continuous improvement.
* Offer constructive revision feedback to other editors on their work.
* Monitor client channels for performance metrics and optimization opportunities. Requirements
* Minimum 2-3 years of professional editing experience. A portfolio showcasing your best work is required.
* Strong proficiency in DaVinci Resolve. Familiarity with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects is a plus.
* You'll work in DaVinci Resolve, Frame.io, Notion, and Dropbox daily. You don't need to be an expert in all of them on day 1 but you need to learn fast.
* Solid foundation in motion graphics, or a willingness to learn fast and integrate on‑brand graphics quickly.
* You can balance speed and quality. We ship weekly. Every video needs to meet brand standards and hit deadline.
* You take feedback well and give it well. Revisions are part of the process, not a personal attack.
* You experiment with new tools, workflows, and approaches without being asked. Results
* 90%+ on‑time delivery rate. Every month, 90% or more of your videos hit deadline.
* 3 videos delivered per week (12+ per month) once fully ramped.
* 90%+ manager approval rate on V1 submissions. Your first drafts come back with minor notes, not major revisions.
* 90%+ client approval rate on final videos. Clients approve with minimal or no revisions.
* Maintain strong retention and watch time metrics across your edits. If average retention is dropping, you're the first one diagnosing why.
* Support a consistent publishing cadence by maintaining a healthy backlog of ready‑to‑go content. The pipeline should never be empty because of you.
* Contribute to growing client channels toward 100-1,000 subscribers per month and 5-50+ leads per month per client. Location Remote. Work from anywhere with reliable internet.
