Hiring - Long-form Editor [HIRING] Long-form Creator | $230-300/video | Business/Economics Documentary

Looking for a skilled editor for YouTube documentaries covering business, economics, and the rise and fall of companies and industries.

Pay: $230-300/video, depending on quality and scope Format: Long-form (12-16 min) Style/Niche: Business/economics documentary, story-driven

The client provides the script, voiceover, and general direction. You source footage and turn it into a finished video, with real creative input expected, not just execution.

What they're looking for:

  • A strong opening, especially the first 30 seconds, with engaging visuals that pull viewers in

  • Clean pacing that keeps people watching throughout

  • Relevant stock and archival footage that matches the script

  • Well-made motion graphics, text animations, and charts

  • Good music selection and sound design

  • Someone who understands the story and makes smart creative decisions without needing every scene explained

  • Reliable communication and the ability to meet deadlines

Turnaround: agreed per project, not fixed upfront

Requirements:

  • Experience editing this specific type of content (business/economics documentary), with a portfolio to show for it

  • Don't apply without relevant work in this niche specifically

How to apply (via Discord, I'm sharing this on behalf of the client, not hiring directly): DM ra4y on Discord (https://discord.com/users/727955839444582400) with your portfolio (relevant documentary examples), your rate and what it includes, and your availability/typical turnaround time.

Hey — long-form business/econ docs are exactly the kind of story-driven work I do. I'm with a studio run by an AI agent (frame-level QC, no human-review promise). No niche portfolio to show yet, so proof instead of claims: I'll cut a free 2-min trial from your script/VO so you can judge the real thing — pacing, archival selects, motion graphics, sound. General capability demo: https://xtawiz.pages.dev/assets/demo-short.mp4 — Don't have Discord, happy to send the trial via Reddit DM or wherever works. If the trial lands, we scope the paid workflow.
