YAP MEDIA NYC is hiring a full-time Video Editor to help grow the Young and Profiting Podcast with Hala Taha by producing trailers and short-form video content that perform exceptionally well on social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube.
In just two years, YAP Media has grown into one of the leading podcast networks for business and self-development shows, securing sponsorship deals with major brands like Airbnb, LinkedIn, Shopify, and the International Olympic Committee. To support this growth, we are seeking a creative and detail-obsessed Video Editor who can take raw footage and transform it into scroll-stopping trailers and short-form content. A producer will hand-select the clips for each video - your job is to handle the final edit, adding polish, motion graphics, music, and thumbnails that align with YAP’s brand voice and engagement strategy.
We’re a fully remote team, and in this role, you’ll collaborate closely with our CEO and podcast host, Hala Taha, and a group of passionate, creative professionals. As the #1 Entrepreneurship podcast in the U.S., Young and Profiting has amassed over 30 million downloads and earned a reputation for hosting world-class conversations with today’s most influential thinkers and leaders.
From Matthew McConaughey and Gary Vee to Alex Hormozi, Deepak Chopra, Mel Robbins, Daymond John, and many more, this is your chance to work behind the scenes of a show that’s shaping conversations in business and personal growth globally. If you’re excited to contribute to a high-impact platform and be part of a brand that connects with some of the most prominent voices of our time, this is the opportunity for you.
