About FLIGHTSTORY

Mission
The Diary of a CEO is on a mission to create the most impactful conversations in the world. We are looking to hire people who want to shape culture at scale. If you’re exceptional at your craft, obsessed with storytelling, and thrive in high-standards environments, we want to hear from you.
Day-to-Day
As a Long-Form Video Editor, you’ll play a critical role in transforming raw 9–13 camera footage into episodes that hold attention for millions worldwide. These retention-driven edits are the heartbeat of the show, conversations that change how people think, live, and work. You’ll collaborate with a world-class production team, owning edits end-to-end, and continuously pushing what’s possible in long-form storytelling on YouTube.
