YouTube Specialist (Video Editing, Thumbnails/Titles, Publishing)

We are looking for a strategic Video Editor and YouTube Specialist to help scale the Smart Gets Paid brand. You will take raw interview and solo footage (2x per month) and transform it into a high-converting discovery engine that drives $100k+ women consultants toward our flagship Academy.

Role Type: Part-time Retainer (2 Episode Cycles per month)

Key Responsibilities

- Long-Form Production: Edit two 30-45 minute video episodes per month. Enhance the Huberman-style authority with clean cuts, high-quality audio processing, and professional on-screen text/graphics.

- Short-Form Extraction: Identify and create 3 high-impact vertical clips (Shorts and LinkedIn) per episode. Includes dynamic captions, vertical cropping, and scroll-stopping hooks.

- Creative Packaging: Design custom, pain-point focused thumbnails and write SEO-optimized titles that prioritize search intent over episode numbers.

- Platform Management: Full end-to-end publishing—uploading to YouTube, optimizing metadata, and setting up the pinned comment and CTA strategy.

Technical Requirements

- Expert Video Editing: Proficiency in your professional NLE of choice (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Descript, etc.).

- Graphic Design: Ability to create high-end, clean thumbnails in Canva or Photoshop that align with a premium B2B brand. Professionalism is essential (think Neil Patel & Andrew Huberman, not MrBeast)

- Growth Mindset: You understand that views are a vanity metric; conversions to the Academy is the goal. You know how to use hooks to keep the right people watching.

Budget is per video cycle (1 Long-form + 3 Shorts + Packaging)
