Long-form YouTube video editor – fixed retainer (≈15 videos/month, ~15 min each)

Hello! I’m looking for an experienced video editor to join our team on a monthly retainer basis, with the following specs: What you’ll do: Edit approximately 15 videos per month, each around 15 minutes in length. Work with raw footage (we’ll provide the clips, audio, B-roll, etc.). Add intro/outro, motion graphics/branding elements (we have a basic brand style), transitions, audio clean-up, colour correction, subtitles where needed, upload format ready (MP4 or whatever we specify) Turnaround: Ideally each video delivered within X hours/days of raw footage submission (we’ll define). Ongoing monthly contract, not single project. We’ll provide a style-guide / reference videos so you can match our brand’s look & feel. You’ll communicate via Upwork messaging (and optionally Zoom call) and adhere to revision requests (e.g., 1–2 rounds of revisions per video). We’re working in the YouTube space (or mention your channel / niche) so familiarity with what holds viewer retention, pacing for YouTube, etc is a bonus. Budget & payment: Fixed monthly budget: USD 100/month (we will pay the same every month). Up to 15 videos/month under this retainer. If you deliver fewer, we still pay the retainer; if you deliver more, we can discuss a bonus/extra-fee (optional). Contract length: initially 3 months (trial), then extend if all goes well. What we’re looking for in you: Proven experience editing YouTube videos (please share 2-3 sample videos you worked on). Comfortable with ~15-minute videos (not just short clips). Reliable, meets deadlines, good communication. Ability to work under a monthly retainer model. Owns/licensed editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve) and can deliver high quality. Optional but good: motion graphic skills, colour grading, good ear for audio. Fluent in English (for communication) and receives feedback well, does revisions. Portfolio or link to previous work is a must. How to apply: In your proposal, please share: Your editing software tools & typical workflow. A link to 2-3 videos you’ve edited in the last 3-12 months. Confirmation that you’re comfortable at fixed monthly retainer for ~15 videos at $200/month. Your turnaround time for each video (from raw footage to final delivery). Any additional services you can provide (motion graphics, subtitles, thumbnail design, etc). We’ll shortlist 2–3 candidates, invite you to a short test editing video (paid) to see fit, then hire and start. Why join us: Ongoing work (15 videos * every month) – consistent stable income. Clear expectations, good communication, we value our editors and deliver raw footage in good time. We’re growing our YouTube presence and want a true partner who can grow with us.
