I’m hiring a video editor to work with me.
You’ll edit a variety of videos for Podcast Marketing Academy. The goal is to become the best place on the internet to learn advanced podcast marketing, growth, and conversion strategy in unreasonably specific, nerdy detail and a core part of our approach is engaging, beautiful, video-first content.
Podcast Marketing Academy is the antidote to generic, surface-level, candy-coated marketing advice. It recognizes the fact that marketing anything is a complex, difficult, time-intensive puzzle and that podcasts specifically are the hardest content platform to grow.
Our purpose is to help smart, serious podcasters, founders, brands, marketers, and podcast support professionals face this challenge head-on by equipping them with an in-depth understanding of the mechanics of what it takes to design a podcast marketing system that attracts and retains listeners and systematically converts them into clients and customers. In an industry that is quick to tell podcasters how easy it is to start and grow a show, we’re for the savvy, experienced creators who already know how hard podcasting is and relish the challenge of doing it anyway.
We’re looking for a video editor who’s obsessed with YouTube. They don’t just watch videos, they analyze them. They spend their downtime compulsively thinking about video ideas, packaging, production, editing, and the algorithm — and have strong opinions on these things. They yearn to become a true master of the craft and are already on the path to becoming one.
A passion for video isn’t enough though. AI is changing the way video is being created from idea generation to post-production, from Hollywood to bedroom YouTubers. The right person for this role is already using AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT as well as a variety of video-specific AI tools and is obsessed with their potential.
Finally, in addition to YouTube, this person is intimately familiar with podcasting. They are an active consumer of both audio and video-first podcasts and have strong opinions about what makes podcasts work on video.
