About The Role

The Podcast Video Editor is responsible for transforming recorded podcast conversations into high-quality, thoughtful video content for YouTube and social platforms. This role ensures that stories are edited with care, clarity, and respect—preserving tone, context, and intention.

This is not fast-turnaround content editing. It is ethical storytelling through visual craft .

Key Responsibilities

  • Edit full-length podcast video episodes for YouTube and digital platforms.
  • Create short clips, highlights, and reels for social media promotion.
  • Sync and balance audio and video for clarity, pacing, and professionalism.
  • Apply basic color correction, framing adjustments, and visual consistency.
  • Incorporate MAP branding elements (intros, lower thirds, outros) when provided.
  • Collaborate with Podcast Producer and Hosts to align edits with narrative intent.
  • Organize project files, drafts, and final exports in shared systems.
  • Support captioning and accessibility workflows when required.
  • Check and respond to emails daily, with responses within 48 hours.
  • Take responsibility for performance improvement by incorporating feedback and refining workflows.

Qualifications

  • Experience editing video content (podcasts, interviews, documentaries, or digital media).
  • Proficiency with video editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar).
  • Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, and visual clarity.
  • Ability to meet agreed-upon timelines with consistency.
  • Sensitivity when working with personal, community-centered, or youth-adjacent stories.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Bonus (Not Required)

  • Experience editing for YouTube or social media platforms
  • Knowledge of captioning or accessibility standards
  • Familiarity with nonprofit, advocacy, or storytelling work
  • Bilingual or multilingual abilities (Spanish or Haitian Creole preferred)

Commitment

  • Volunteer role, approximately 5–8 hours per week
  • Minimum 6-month commitment preferred
  • Remote collaboration via Google Meet
  • MAP values consistency and care over urgency or burnout

What You’ll Gain

  • Meaningful storytelling experience with real community impact
  • Portfolio-ready podcast and digital media work
  • Collaboration with producers, hosts, and creative teams
  • Professional references and letters of recommendation
  • The opportunity to help amplify voices with respect and intention
