Job Description

The Financial Coconut is looking for a Video Editor Intern to help bring our stories, podcasts, and social videos to life.

You’ll work closely with our content, creative, and marketing teams to edit engaging video content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms. From podcast highlights and educational explainers to short-form reels and visual storytelling, you’ll play a key role in shaping how our audience learns about money and self-development through video.

This internship is ideal for someone who’s passionate about content creation, storytelling, and digital media — and who wants hands-on experience in the fast-growing creator and finance education space.

Scope:

• Video Editing: Edit podcast episodes, short-form clips, and long-form videos for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
• Storytelling: Craft compelling narratives and highlight moments that capture attention and communicate financial insights clearly.
• Brand Consistency: Apply The Financial Coconut’s brand style, tone, and visual identity across all video content.
• Motion Graphics & Captions: Add subtitles, graphics, transitions, and light animations to enhance engagement and accessibility.
• Collaboration: Work with producers, hosts, and marketers to understand content goals, audience needs, and feedback loops.
• Platform Optimisation: Edit and format content to suit each platform’s requirements (aspect ratios, duration, hooks, etc.).

What You’ll Learn

• How to edit for storytelling, pacing, and viewer retention.
• The fundamentals of content marketing and growth for digital media.
• Project management and creative collaboration in a media team.
• Exposure to the finance and self-development landscape.

Job Requirements

Requirements

• Basic Experience: Familiar with Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar software.

• Attention to Detail: Able to maintain quality, consistency, and accuracy across multiple edits.
• Learning Attitude: Curious, self-driven, and open to feedback.
• Availability: Ideally 6-month internship but minimum 4-month internship commitment.

Bonus Points if You Have:

• Motion graphics experience (After Effects, Canva animations, etc.).
• Experience creating content for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Reels.
• Interest in finance, business, or self-improvement topics.

What We Offer

• Flexible remote work setup.
• Mentorship from experienced editors.
• Real-world projects with measurable impact and audience reach.
• A creative, collaborative environment that values experimentation.
• Strong-performing interns may be offered a full-time position at the end of the internship.

As our team is fully remote, we expect you to be an independent teammate while being supported by the resources and capabilities of our content network. We are process and results-driven and we actually appreciate radical candor.
