Role Overview
JT Casey Media is one of the most recognizable creator brands on the internet, built around high energy challenges, money stunts, pay it forward content, and viral public moments across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
We’re hiring an experienced Long Form Video Editor to help turn ambitious shoots into highly engaging YouTube videos. This is a high output role with real creative impact. We’re looking for someone who understands YouTube storytelling, audience retention, and creator driven content and can jump in and deliver from day one.

- 5+ years of professional video editing experience
- Full Adobe Creative Suite proficiency required, including Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Audition
- Strong portfolio demonstrating experience with long form YouTube content
- Expert understanding of YouTube storytelling, pacing, and audience retention
- Experience editing for a creator brand, talent channel, or digital media company
- Ability to turn large amounts of raw footage into compelling 10 to 20+ minute videos
- Strong instincts for story structure, B roll integration, music, sound design, and comedic and dramatic timing
- Experience with color grading and full audio mixing
- Ability to edit cinematic footage shot on the Sony FX30 into a polished final product
- Comfortable managing multiple projects and hitting deadlines consistently
- Organized timelines and project files
- Able to receive feedback quickly and execute revisions without losing the original creative vision
- Reliable, communicative, and capable of working independently
- Deep understanding of YouTube and creator culture
Core Requirements & Skills
- You’re a storyteller first and a technician second.
- You know how to take three hours of raw footage from a chaotic shoot and turn it into a 15 minute YouTube video that keeps people watching until the end. You understand audience retention at a structural level. You know when to cut, when to breathe, when to hit the music, and when to let a moment land.
- You’ve worked with talent driven content and know how to make a personality shine on screen. You have strong instincts for pacing, story structure, B roll, music, sound design, and visual payoffs.
- Your color grades are clean, your audio mixes are tight, and your timelines are organized. Most importantly, you don’t need constant hand holding. Give you the footage, the creative direction, and some trust, and you know how to turn it into a great video.
- You take the craft seriously while keeping things fun. You’re communicative, dependable, and genuinely excited about the content you’re working on. You understand creator culture from the inside, not just from the outside looking in.
Nice to Have / Preferred Qualifications
- What We’re Looking For
- We want an editor who doesn’t just make footage look good. You make the video better.
- You should be able to look at a raw shoot, identify the strongest story, cut what isn’t working, strengthen what is, and build an edit that makes viewers want to see what happens next.
- If you’ve edited YouTube videos that have generated millions of views, understand why they performed, and have the portfolio to back it up, we want to hear from you.
