Renowned for revolutionizing digital content creation, Beast Industries encompasses a diverse portfolio of ventures that extend far beyond its origins on YouTube. With a mission to entertain, inspire, and create significant social impact, Beast Industries operates across various domains including digital media, philanthropy, consumer products, and innovative business initiatives. At Beast Industries, we believe in the transformative power of digital media and its potential to entertain, educate, and effect positive change. Our commitment to innovation, creativity, and philanthropy drives us to explore new frontiers, create unforgettable experiences, and build a legacy that inspires future generations.
About the Role
MrBeast is looking for a well-rounded Video Editor who can do more than just cut footage. In this role, you’ll transform raw recordings into high-energy, captivating content that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. Beyond traditional editing, you’ll also bring projects to life with motion graphics, After Effects work, and lighter CGI techniques (rotoscoping, compositing, animation). This is a highly creative position that requires someone with a YouTube-native style — quick, punchy edits, bold motion graphics, and a strong sense of pacing and retention. You’ll collaborate closely with our editing team to refine storylines, experiment with effects, and ensure every video is as entertaining as it is polished.
- Editing and assembling 30m–1hr+ recordings into highly engaging short-form or long-form content
- Using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to create high-quality edits with motion graphics, rotoscoping, and lighter CGI work
- Adding creative flair: animations, transitions, music, and sound design to enhance the viewing experience
- Collaborating with retention specialists and creative leads to optimize content pacing and viewer engagement
- Working alongside other editors to share techniques, improve workflows, and maintain consistent quality
- Delivering drafts on time, ideally ahead of deadlines, and iterating quickly based on feedback
What We're Looking For
- Expert-level knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (non-negotiable)
- Strong experience with motion graphics, rotoscoping, and basic compositing techniques
- Ability to craft edits for YouTube-style content (fast-paced, high-retention, cinematic when needed)
- Highly accountable and reliable, consistently hitting or exceeding deadlines
- Open to feedback, and able to incorporate notes quickly and effectively
- A passion for storytelling, creativity, and experimenting with new techniques
- A demo reel that showcases editing speed, motion graphics, and stylistic variety (applications without reels may not be considered)
Nice to Have’s
- Experience with Blender or other 3D tools (not required, but a plus)
- Exposure to Nuke or higher-level CGI software (bonus, not expected)
- Strong sense of cinematic storytelling (music, sound design, drama pacing)
- Prior work with creators or influencers on highly stylized, fast-paced YouTube content

Tips for Your Editor Job Search
Tailor your resume for each specialty
Copy editing, developmental editing, and content editing are distinct disciplines. Highlight the specific type of editing each employer needs, and match your resume's language to the job posting so your relevant experience is immediately clear to the hiring manager.
Build a portfolio that shows process
Employers want to see before-and-after samples, not just polished final work. Include annotated manuscripts, marked-up drafts, or side-by-side revisions that demonstrate how you approach structure, clarity, and voice rather than just the end result.
Target openings by publication medium
Editorial roles vary significantly between digital content teams, print publications, academic presses, and in-house brand teams. Narrow your search to the medium where your experience is strongest so your application speaks directly to what the team actually publishes.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists editor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a style test before interviews
Most editorial interviews include a timed editing test covering grammar, AP or Chicago style, and structural feedback. Practice on sample copy in the style guide the employer uses, and time yourself so the format doesn't slow you down when it counts.
Negotiate scope, not just compensation
Editorial offers often have flexibility in title, workload, and freelance supplement policies even when base pay is fixed. Ask about story assignment authority, budget for outside contributors, and whether you can maintain freelance clients alongside the staff role.
Editor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most editors?
The companies hiring the most editors right now include Nexstar Media Group, Infusemedia, and Collabera, with the largest share of openings in New York, California, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand is consistent across digital media companies, corporate marketing teams, and academic and trade publishers.
How many editor jobs are remote?
About 39% of editor openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, making it one of the more location-flexible roles in the job market. Digital content editing, copy editing for marketing teams, and online publication roles tend to have the highest share of remote arrangements compared to print or in-person editorial positions.
How do you become an editor?
Most editors start by earning a degree in English, journalism, or communications, then build experience through internships, freelance assignments, or entry-level roles such as editorial assistant or copy editor. Developing a portfolio of edited work, mastering at least one major style guide, and specializing in a content type or industry helps you move into more senior editorial positions over time.
How do you get hired as an editor with little or no experience?
Start by freelancing for small publications, blogs, or nonprofits to build a portfolio with real before-and-after samples. Volunteer to edit for campus newspapers, literary magazines, or community organizations. Entry-level titles like editorial assistant or junior copy editor are designed for candidates without extensive staff experience, and a strong editing test often carries more weight than years on a resume.
What does the editor interview process look like?
Most editorial hiring processes include an initial screening call, a timed editing test covering grammar and style, and one or more rounds of interviews with the editorial team or hiring manager. The editing test is usually the deciding factor, so expect to line-edit a short passage, catch style inconsistencies, and sometimes rewrite a weak headline or introduction under time pressure.
Where can I find and apply to editor jobs?
You can find and apply to editor jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
