Your Role

Eat every episode of Unlearned Wisdom is a conversation that could change someone’s life. Someone going through addiction, anxiety, depression, or spiritual confusion hits play, and for the next hour they hear a message that meets them exactly where they are. You are the person who makes sure that experience is so compelling they can’t look away, so polished they trust it, and so well-paced they stay until the final word. You own the entire long-form post-production process for 1-2 podcast episodes per week, from raw multi-cam recordings to final publish-ready video on YouTube.

What You’ll Own

• Edit 1 video episode per week from multi-cam assembly through final delivery (story editing, color grading, sound mixing, B-roll, motion graphics)
• Edit 1 audio-only episode per week (assembly, sound mixing, mastering, and final delivery)
• Build and refine the visual storytelling language of every episode: identify the most powerful moments, structure the edit for emotional impact, and maximize audience retention
• Review YouTube Studio retention graphs for every episode you cut and bring data-backed insights to your next edit
• Organize all project files, raw footage, and assets in ClickUp and Google Drive so handoffs and archiving are seamless
• Proactively pitch at least 1 new editing technique, graphic style, or creative experiment per month
