Hi, I’m Izzy. I’m looking for an incredible Long-Form Video Editor to work in-person with me and my team in Hong Kong.

You’ll be in-person, in the room with us most days, helping us turn raw footage into YouTube videos that hook from the first second, hold viewers until the very end, and feel unmistakably on-brand.

The mission of the channel is to help 10 million women to fulfil their potential and create a life that they love. We do this through evidence-based, heart-led personal development content designed to create lasting change.

You’ll own long-form editing for the channel (YouTube, 870k+ subs). Your real job is retention: knowing how to structure pacing, build narrative momentum, and keep people watching, all while looking polished and on-brand, and generally being organised and awesome to work with.

This role is editing-centric: ~90–95% editing, ~5–10% light videography (mainly grabbing B-roll when needed). We’re likely hiring a dedicated videographer for the bigger shoots, so your week lives in the edit bay.

🧭 Our Mission at Sparkle Studios

You’ll be joining our team at Sparkle Studios, a company that I cofounded with my husband Ali.

Our mission is to create inspiring, educational content and products that change people’s lives.

We do that across three strands:

• Content — Izzy’s personal brand (1M total following, this is where this role lives), and Ali’s personal brand (8M total following).
• Education — Lifestyle Business Academy, our online business school helping beginners build their first $100K online business.
• Software — Voicepal (AI ghostwriter in your pocket), SuperFocus (productivity), and CreatorGrid (creator growth + monetisation).

Your role is leading the editing for Izzy’s YouTube channel. You’ll be dedicated to my content and brand style, not spread across the wider business.

📅 Hours, Location & Setup

• Location: Hong Kong, in-person. Either you’re already based in Hong Kong, or are willing to relocate to Hong Kong for the role. We’re in the office Monday–Friday and you’ll be in the room with us most days.
• Hours: Full-time.
• Salary: Competitive, negotiable depending on experience.
• Travel: Annual/Biannual team offsites at fun locations around the world (e.g. Thailand, Sri Lanka), and maybe the occasional shoot or event abroad.
• Start date: As soon as we find the right person 🙂

✂️ What You’ll Actually Be Doing

🎞️ Long-form YouTube editing (your main beat)

Transforming raw footage into long-form YouTube videos that hook viewers in the first few seconds and hold their attention the whole way through. You think about watch time as much as you think about aesthetics, and you know how to structure pacing, build narrative momentum, and earn the next minute of attention.

🎨 Brand-consistent editing

Following our style guide so every video reinforces the channel’s branding, in terms of colour palette, typography, pacing, transitions, and the visual language that builds trust with the audience over time.

✨ Motion graphics & visual effects

Creating dynamic text animations, lower thirds, transitions, and motion graphics that elevate production quality and keep the viewing experience fresh. Comfortable in After Effects (or equivalent) and happy to push the look forward over time.

🎥 Light videography (~5–10%)

Occasionally picking up a camera to grab B-roll, set up a lav mic, or adjust filming settings. Not your main job, but useful.

📁 Tight organisation

Backed-up footage, sensible naming, versioned project files. No lost clips, no mystery versions.

✅ What We’re Looking For

• Proven long-form YouTube experience. You’ve edited long-form YouTube content (ideally for personal-brand channels) with demonstrable success. You understand what makes people click and, more importantly, what makes them stay.
• Retention & engagement expertise. You know how to hook viewers in the first few seconds, maintain pacing, and structure content for maximum watch time.
• Technical proficiency & motion graphics. Expert-level skills in Premiere Pro (or Final Cut Pro) + After Effects. Polished text animations, transitions, and visual effects that feel professional and on-brand.
• Attention to detail. Every frame matters. Sharp eye for colour grading, audio levels, pacing, and the small details that separate good edits from great ones.
• Fast revision turnaround. You thrive under deadlines and can turn changes around fast without compromising quality.
• AI-forward. Already using AI tools where they make the work better or faster. Curious about what’s next and constantly levelling up with AI tools.
• Creative problem-solving. You can take unpolished footage and transform it into compelling content, even when the source material is challenging.
• Calm, reliable, systematic. Footage backed up, deadlines met, versioned project files.

🎁 What We Offer

• 🌍 Impact — your work will be seen by millions and have a direct role in changing the lives of hundreds of thousands of loyal subscribers. You will shape the next era of the brand and help to build one of the biggest female personal development channels in the world.
• 🧠 Creative ownership — you’ll take ownership and shape the look and feel of videos, not just execute someone else’s brief.
• ✈️ Travel — vibey team offsites in fun locations around the world a couple times per year (Thailand, Sri Lanka, and wherever the year takes us).
• 🏠 In-person Hong Kong team energy — we’re building out an epic media team in-person in Hong Kong, where creative energy compounds and we learn from each other and grow together every day.
• 🌱 Relocation support and visa sponsorship for the right person.
