Company Overview
We're scaling the best YouTube agency in the world.
We've assembled a crazy-talented group of YouTube strategists and creative minds who've collectively generated over 110 billion views and shaped how YouTube works today. Our founder, Ryan Hashemi, spent seven years building Jubilee Media into a 14-million-subscriber, 5-billion-view powerhouse with four Emmy nominations, and trained the person who now runs MrBeast's studio.

Now we're helping the world's biggest brands crack the code on YouTube and make content that people actually want to watch at scale.
We lead YouTube creative and content programming as a strategic channel. We staff and train in-house YouTube teams for clients, hiring video producers, editors, and strategists, and build long-form storytelling systems designed to compound over time. The result: evergreen content that earns millions of views, builds loyal audiences, and drives conversions.
How We Hire
We don't screen for pedigree or platform experience. We evaluate individual superpowers, high agency, curiosity, creative instinct, and the ability to do exceptional work.
Our team includes SVP-level Condé Nast alumni working alongside self-taught YouTube strategists. We've got a flat culture and believe a good idea can come from anywhere.
The Role: Short-form Video Editor
We're looking for a short-form video editor who can turn a strong idea into something people can't help but keep watching.
You'll work directly with our founder and Head of Content Marketing to shape the content that represents Snowball publicly. You’ll take our ideas about YouTube, storytelling, creativity, and the work we're doing with some of the world's biggest brands and turn them into sharp, visually distinctive short-form content.
Most videos will start with a script and filmed footage. That's the starting point, not the assignment.
We're looking for someone who can hear a line like, "Here's why most brands are approaching YouTube completely wrong," and immediately start thinking: What should we be seeing? What's the visual proof? Where does this need motion? Could a UI treatment explain this better? Is there a clip, graphic, screenshot, or visual metaphor that makes the idea more impactful?
Sometimes the answer is a custom motion sequence. Sometimes it's the perfect piece of sourced footage. Sometimes it's a clever visual interruption or an unexpected music choice. And sometimes it's knowing that the best edit is the simplest one.
