## Job description

We’re hiring a Video Editor & Motion Designer to join our team and turn recorded footage (tutorials, case studies, webinars, and talking-head content) into clean, engaging, publish-ready videos. **You’ll work across two types of projects:**

**#1 – ScaleMath Studios**  
Our in-house video content and YouTube channel. This includes our [podcast](https://scalemath.com/podcast/).

**#2 – Advisory & Services**  
Video and content assets we produce for companies we work with.

**Here are examples of our current styles:** <https://scalemath.com/video-examples>

While we will welcome *improvements* to this style over time, please do not apply if you are not comfortable producing videos in the same style as any of the 7 videos on this page.

**This role is for someone who cares deeply, to the point of obsession, about:**

* Attention to detail
* Pacing
* Clarity
* Polish
* Viewer comprehension
* Using motion graphics to support the story/message (not distract from it)

## **What You’ll Do**

* Edit long-form recorded footage into tight, high-retention videos
* Improve pacing, structure, and clarity while preserving the speaker’s natural delivery
* Create and integrate motion graphics (lower thirds, callouts, simple explainer sequences, UI highlights, transitions)
* Add B-roll, overlays, and on-screen text where it improves understanding
* Handle audio cleanup, leveling, and general sound polish
* Produce rough cuts and iterate quickly based on feedback
* Deliver final exports optimized for YouTube and other channels
* Maintain a consistent style and quality bar across multiple brands and projects
* Improve our workflow over time (templates, presets, reusable motion systems)

## **What We’re Looking For**

* Proven experience editing YouTube videos or long-form educational content
* Strong editorial judgment: pacing, structure, clarity, and storytelling
* Motion design ability (After Effects or equivalent) for clean, modern, functional animation
* High attention to detail across cuts, timing, audio, and on-screen text
* Strong taste: you know what looks modern vs outdated
* Comfortable taking feedback and iterating quickly
* Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistently

## **Tools**

You can use your preferred tools, but most of our workflow is compatible with:

* Descript
* Premiere Pro
* After Effects
* [Frame.io](http://Frame.io)

## **Bonus points (not required)**

* Experience editing SaaS, B2B, or product-led content
* Ability to create a reusable motion system for a channel (titles, lower thirds, callouts, transitions)
* Thumbnail design experience
* Familiarity with retention editing principles for YouTube
* Experience working with founders and subject matter experts

## **How to Apply**

Please send:

* 2–4 examples you’re proud of (YouTube links preferred). We are looking for ones that match (or are similar to) the styles of the 7 examples provided [here](https://scalemath.com/video-examples).
* A short note about your role in each project (editing only vs editing + motion)
* Your typical turnaround time for a 10–20 minute video
