Video Editor - YouTube, TikTok & Instagram Reels

Location: Bangladesh

Working Arrangement: Remote

Role Type: Full-Time / Long-Term

Industry: Business, Entrepreneurship, Education & Social Media Content

We are looking for a talented, creative and reliable Video Editor based in Bangladesh to work with us on ongoing content for YouTube, TikTok and Instagram Reels.

The role will involve taking raw video footage and turning it into engaging, professional and modern content designed specifically for each platform.

We are not looking for someone who simply cuts clips together.

We want an editor who understands attention, storytelling, pacing, retention and social media content - someone who knows how to make people stop scrolling and continue watching.

You will be editing a mixture of:

• Long-form YouTube videos
• YouTube Shorts
• TikTok videos
• Instagram Reels
• Talking-head content
• Business and entrepreneurship content
• Educational videos
• Personal-brand content
• Promotional and marketing videos

You will be responsible for editing raw footage into polished, engaging videos ready for publication.

This will include:

• Editing long-form YouTube videos
• Creating short-form clips from long-form videos
• Editing TikTok and Instagram Reels
• Identifying strong moments from longer recordings that can become short-form content
• Removing unnecessary pauses, mistakes and weak sections
• Creating fast, natural pacing without making videos feel over-edited
• Adding subtitles and animated captions
• Adding B-roll where appropriate
• Adding stock footage where needed
• Adding images, screenshots, graphics and visual references
• Adding zooms, punch-ins and movement to maintain viewer attention
• Using sound effects appropriately
• Adding background music
• Adding transitions where appropriate
• Performing basic colour correction and colour grading
• Cleaning and balancing audio
• Creating strong hooks at the beginning of videos
• Improving overall audience retention through editing
• Following the visual identity and editing style of the brand
• Exporting videos in the correct format for each platform

For YouTube content, you should understand how to create videos that maintain attention over a longer period.

This includes:

• Strong opening hooks
• Removing unnecessary content
• Storytelling and pacing
• Strategic B-roll
• Graphics and text
• Pattern interruptions
• Visual changes
• Sound design
• Music
• Clean transitions
• Professional audio
• Maintaining viewer interest throughout the video

You should understand that a good YouTube edit is not simply about making a video look professional - it is about making people continue watching.

Short-form content will be a major part of the role.

You should be comfortable creating high-retention vertical videos with:

• 9:16 formatting
• Strong opening hooks
• Fast pacing
• Dynamic subtitles
• Highlighted keywords
• Zooms and camera movement
• B-roll
• Images and graphics
• Sound effects
• Background music
• Visual pattern interruptions
• Clean and modern editing

You should understand the editing styles commonly used by successful business, entrepreneurship and personal-brand creators.

An important part of the role will be turning one piece of content into multiple pieces of content.

For example:

1 x YouTube Video

could potentially become:

• 3-8 TikTok videos
• 3-8 Instagram Reels
• 3-8 YouTube Shorts
• Additional promotional clips

You should be able to identify the most interesting, controversial, educational or valuable moments without always being told exactly where to cut.

You should be highly competent with at least one professional editing platform, such as:

• Adobe Premiere Pro
• DaVinci Resolve
• Final Cut Pro
• CapCut Desktop

Experience with additional tools such as After Effects, Photoshop, Canva or AI editing tools is an advantage.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has previous professional video editing experience
• Has experience editing social media content
• Understands YouTube editing
• Understands TikTok, Reels and Shorts
• Understands viewer retention
• Has a strong sense of pacing
• Has good attention to detail
• Can follow brand guidelines
• Can work independently
• Can meet deadlines consistently
• Communicates clearly
• Can accept feedback and make revisions quickly
• Has a reliable computer capable of professional video editing
• Has a reliable internet connection
• Can manage large video files
• Can organise project files properly

Good written and spoken English is important because most of the content will be in English.

We are not looking for an editor who:

• Uses the same template for every video
• Adds random transitions everywhere
• Overuses effects
• Makes every short-form video look identical
• Needs step-by-step instructions for every edit
• Cannot identify interesting moments independently
• Regularly misses deadlines
• Disappears without communication

Creativity and initiative are important.

The ideal candidate watches modern YouTube, TikTok and Instagram content and naturally understands what makes content engaging.

You should be able to look at raw footage and think:

"How can I make this more interesting to watch?"

rather than simply:

"Where should I cut the video?"

We want someone who can gradually become part of the content operation rather than simply completing individual editing tasks.

This is intended to be a long-term position.

As our content production increases, there will be opportunities to take greater responsibility across:

• YouTube production
• Short-form content
• Content repurposing
• Social media campaigns
• Podcast editing
• Promotional videos
• Content strategy
• Creative direction
• Strong performers may eventually take responsibility for managing parts of the overall video production workflow.
