Job ID: 40543608

Budget: £18 – £36 GBP

About UK Estates
UK Estates is a fast-growing property media and investment platform reaching over half a million followers across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. We produce high-end property content — luxury home tours, developer features, market insight and educational films — and we are scaling our YouTube channel as a core pillar of the brand.
The Role
We are looking for a skilled, self-motivated YouTube Editor to take our raw footage and turn it into polished, retention-driven videos that grow our audience and reinforce our premium, authority-led brand. This is a fully remote position — you can work from anywhere, provided you can collaborate reliably with our media team and hit agreed deadlines.
Key Responsibilities
• Edit long-form YouTube videos from raw footage, including property tours, developer interviews and educational content.
• Craft strong hooks, pacing and retention structure to maximise watch time and audience growth.
• Add motion graphics, lower thirds, captions, B-roll, colour grading and licensed music in line with UK Estates' brand style.
• Sync and edit voiceover and interview audio to a clean, professional standard.
• Design or implement thumbnails and on-screen text that drive click-through (or collaborate with our design team).
• Manage project files and deliver final exports in correct formats and specifications.
• Incorporate feedback efficiently and maintain consistency across the channel.
Requirements
• Proven experience editing for YouTube, with a portfolio or showreel demonstrating strong retention-focused editing.
• Proficiency in professional editing software (e.g. Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro).
• Solid skills in motion graphics and titling (After Effects a strong plus).
• A good eye for pacing, storytelling, sound design and colour.
• Reliable, organised and able to meet deadlines while working independently and remotely.
• Strong communication and the ability to take direction and feedback well.
Nice to Have
• Experience editing property, real estate, luxury or lifestyle content.
• Understanding of YouTube analytics and what drives watch time and subscriber growth.
• Thumbnail design and basic Photoshop skills.
What We Offer
• Fully remote working — work from anywhere.
• Ongoing, regular editing work with a growing, established brand.
• Creative input on high-end property content reaching a large, engaged audience.
• Competitive, experience-based rates.
