Position Overview

We are looking to hire a podcast editor based in Austin, with high-level experience delivering assets in both long and short form, and deep experience in video editing and motion graphics. Links to your work are required in your application, and portfolios are encouraged.

BigDeal by Codie Sanchez explores the real stories and hard-won lessons of entrepreneurs, builders, and creators. Our YouTube channel is experiencing rapid growth, averaging 1.6M views and +20K new subscribers monthly, and in June, we hit #2 on the Spotify Business Podcast charts. Previous guests include Gary Vee, Scott Galloway, Dave Ramsey, Daymond John, and Jesse Itzler. Codie's podcast appearances as a guest include Diary Of A CEO (3x) and On Purpose with Jay Shetty (3x).

We expect applicants to have elite technical abilities in both editing and motion graphics, exceptional narrative chops, and an ability to craft viral hooks that will win over viewers in the first 5-15 seconds. Exceptional skill in Adobe Premiere and After Effects is required, along with a good sense of pacing and a keen eye for visual storytelling. Taste and technical ability are valued equally.

Our podcast is rooted in conversation, but also embraces the best of modern YouTube-style editing — think punchy infographics, dynamic transitions, clips from classic films, and timely memes.

Our team is in-person and works very quickly. Our workflow is collaborative, and you will be led by a producer who will anticipate roadblocks and remove them so your work is fast, effective, and enjoyable.

We also produce some of the best content in the finance niche on our YouTube channel (and Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok).

99% of our content is 100% free.

The other 1% is how we help people become expert deal makers so they can acquire a “boring business” that cashflows.

The Contrarian Creed

These are the words we stand by, live by and define what it means to be a Contrarian.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Be a great f*cking human. Do what's right even when it hurts.

How you do anything, is how you do everything.

We do the dirty work.

Your word is your contract.

We are Archimedes, find your lever.

Winners want pressure.

We want your weird. Better weird than boring.

Your job isn't done until THE job is done. We work the problem.

Assumptions are for assholes. Find the truth.

Less words, more meaning.

Even our notes are worth stealing. Make every creation a mini-masterpiece.

Show me your results, not your intentions.
