We’re hiring a Video Editor & Motion Designer to join our team and turn recorded footage (tutorials, case studies, webinars, and talking-head content) into clean, engaging, publish-ready videos. You’ll work across two types of projects:
#1 – ScaleMath Studios
Our in-house video content and YouTube channel. This includes our podcast.
#2 – Advisory & Services
Video and content assets we produce for companies we work with.
Here are examples of our current styles: https://scalemath.com/video-examples
While we will welcome improvements to this style over time, please do not apply if you are not comfortable producing videos in the same style as any of the 7 videos on this page.
This role is for someone who cares deeply, to the point of obsession, about:
Attention to detail
Pacing
Clarity
Polish
Viewer comprehension
Using motion graphics to support the story/message (not distract from it)
What You’ll Do
Edit long-form recorded footage into tight, high-retention videos
Improve pacing, structure, and clarity while preserving the speaker’s natural delivery
Create and integrate motion graphics (lower thirds, callouts, simple explainer sequences, UI highlights, transitions)
Add B-roll, overlays, and on-screen text where it improves understanding
Handle audio cleanup, leveling, and general sound polish
Produce rough cuts and iterate quickly based on feedback
Deliver final exports optimized for YouTube and other channels
Maintain a consistent style and quality bar across multiple brands and projects
Improve our workflow over time (templates, presets, reusable motion systems)
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience editing YouTube videos or long-form educational content
Strong editorial judgment: pacing, structure, clarity, and storytelling
Motion design ability (After Effects or equivalent) for clean, modern, functional animation
High attention to detail across cuts, timing, audio, and on-screen text
Strong taste: you know what looks modern vs outdated
Comfortable taking feedback and iterating quickly
Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistently
Tools
You can use your preferred tools, but most of our workflow is compatible with:
Descript
Premiere Pro
After Effects
Bonus points (not required)
Experience editing SaaS, B2B, or product-led content
Ability to create a reusable motion system for a channel (titles, lower thirds, callouts, transitions)
Thumbnail design experience
Familiarity with retention editing principles for YouTube
Experience working with founders and subject matter experts
How to Apply
