YouTube Video Clipper & Editor – Travel & Adventure (Remote)

About Us

Joshua’s Journey Network is a growing media brand that inspires audiences through cinematic travel vlogs, raw personal experiences, and real storytelling from around the world. From dodging motorbike cops in Chiang Mai to hiking hidden waterfalls in Guatemala, we produce travel videos that entertain, educate, and make viewers feel like they’re right there with us. We publish on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Rumble.

Job Summary

We’re hiring a Video Clipper & Editor to help us turn hours of raw travel footage into engaging short- and mid-form content. You’ll identify the best emotional, funny, dramatic, or visually stunning moments from full-length travel vlogs and shape them into snackable content for YouTube Shorts, Reels, and TikToks.

You should be able to quickly spot moments that will make people laugh, gasp, or dream about booking a trip — and edit them with dynamic pacing, text overlays, and sound design that captures the viewer in seconds.

Think of this role as part editor, part creative storyteller.
