Dallas Taylor - YouTube Assistant Video Editor
About The Position
We’re building a documentary-style YouTube channel exploring the craft behind sound, audio, and music - why things sound the way they do, how audio shapes storytelling, and what makes the sonic world so endlessly fascinating. Our videos combine interviews, narrative explanation, cinematic b-roll, and thoughtful music to create episodes that feel polished, purposeful, and deeply engaging. We’re looking for a YouTube Assistant Video Editor to support our lead editor and gradually grow into owning full 10–20 minute episodes. Each video opens with a strong narrative hook - something that sparks curiosity, reveals an unexpected sonic detail, or raises a question the viewer can’t ignore. If you love shaping stories, organizing complex edits, and crafting videos with clear pacing and purpose, you’ll fit right in. You’ll be joining an ambitious team at an exciting moment - the channel is growing quickly, and you’ll have a real creative hand in shaping its voice and style from the ground up.We’re looking for a YouTube Assistant Video Editor.
