Job description
I need a video editor to help with YouTube videos focused on credit cards, points & miles, travel rewards, and occasional travel content.
If we're a good fit, I have ongoing work (3–6 videos/month) and would like to build a long-term relationship with one editor.

Bonus if you're already familiar with the US credit card + points & miles space, as it'll make the editing process easier.
Please include examples of YouTube videos you've edited, especially finance, credit cards, points & miles, or maybe even travel content (although this job won't include that much travel specific editing).
