About the Job
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Video Editor to join our team. This is a hands-on, creative role for someone who loves video editing and is passionate about women’s health, wellness, and the kind of content that genuinely moves people.
We work with:
- The High Performance Podcast (leading personal development podcast)
- Ramit Sethi – Money for Couples (leading personal finance creator)
- Man Alive with Dr Jeff Foster (leading male health podcast)
- Multiple leading brand and creator podcasts we can’t talk about 😉
You’ll be crafting edits that are seen by hundreds of thousands – and often millions – of people. This is not a passive role. We want someone hungry to push the podcast video medium forward and make the show better every single week.
🚫 Easy Apply candidates will be ignored, please complete the task below to apply.
In a Typical Week, You Will:
- Deliver a full-length podcast video edit (approx. 1 hour) formatted for YouTube and Spotify
- Edit a punchy 1-minute trailer designed to perform on social media
- Cut short-form clips optimised for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
- Apply colour grading, sound design, and subtitling to a consistently high standard
- Contribute suggested titles and thumbnail direction for YouTube
- Collaborate closely with the podcast producer on episode narrative and pacing
- Attend occasional in-person podcast shoots and meetings in London (a few days per month)
- Track how your edits perform and iterate week-on-week based on data
The Ideal Candidate
We’re open to candidates from different backgrounds. Whether you have professional podcast or YouTube editing experience, or you’re a video content creator ready to step into a more structured production role – want to hear from you.
You are someone who:
- Has a genuine passion for podcasts and the podcasting world
- Is obsessed with great video content – you watch widely, edit critically, and always notice what makes a clip stop the scroll
- Has strong video editing proficiency, including colour grading, subtitling, and sound mixing
- Is comfortable working in the Adobe Suite (Premiere Pro essential; After Effects a strong plus)
- Understands hooks, cliffhangers, and storytelling techniques that capture and retain attention
- Can create highly engaging trailers and short-form clips that feel native to each platform

- Is a clear and proactive communicator – comfortable working alongside producers and clients
- Has access to a powerful laptop or workstation capable of handling 4K video editing
- Has super fast internet and a solid home editing setup
Videography or podcast recording experience is a bonus, but not essential. What matters most is your passion for the subject, the quality of your edits, and your drive to keep improving.
