Editor, Vertical Platforms

About the role

MrBeast is looking for a well-rounded Video Editor who can do more than just cut footage. In this role, you’ll transform raw recordings into high-energy, captivating content that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. Beyond traditional editing, you’ll also bring projects to life with motion graphics, After Effects work, and lighter CGI techniques (rotoscoping, compositing, animation).

What You'll Do

• Edit and assemble 30m–1hr+ recordings into highly engaging short-form or long-form content
• Use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to create high-quality edits with motion graphics, rotoscoping, and lighter CGI work
• Add creative flair: animations, transitions, music, and sound design to enhance the viewing experience
• Collaborate with retention specialists and creative leads to optimize content pacing and viewer engagement
• Work alongside other editors to share techniques, improve workflows, and maintain consistent quality
• Deliver drafts on time, ideally ahead of deadlines, and iterate quickly based on feedback

What We're Looking For

• Expert-level knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (non-negotiable)
• Strong experience with motion graphics, rotoscoping, and basic compositing techniques
• Able to craft edits for YouTube-style content (fast-paced, high-retention, cinematic when needed)
• Highly accountable and reliable, consistently hitting or exceeding deadlines
• Open to feedback, and able to incorporate notes quickly and effectively
• A passion for storytelling, creativity, and experimenting with new techniques
• A demo reel that showcases editing speed, motion graphics, and stylistic variety (applications without reels may not be considered)

Nice to Have's

• Experience with Blender or other 3D tools (not required, but a plus)
• Exposure to Nuke or higher-level CGI software (bonus, not expected)
• A strong sense of cinematic storytelling (music, sound design, drama pacing)
• Prior work with creators or influencers on highly stylized, fast-paced YouTube content
