About this role
Production Partner, YouTube Long-Form Content - Los Angeles
Department: Operations
Employment Type: Freelance
Location: Los Angeles
Compensation: $2,000 - $4,500 / month
Description
Upway is looking for a Production Partner to run the video engine behind our YouTube channel, the team responsible for turning raw footage into long-form episodes people actually finish watching.
This role is on-site at our Los Angeles UpCenter (2400 Marine Ave, Redondo Beach, CA 90278), working hand-in-hand with our on-camera host and marketing team.
Minimum commitment: 4 to 5 full production days per month, on-site in Redondo Beach. These are full days of shooting, not a couple of hours in and out.
Our goal is simple: build trust and drive discovery through long-form content that's genuinely engaging to watch, not corporate video with a YouTube logo on it.

Key Responsibilities
Production & Filming
- Run full-day, on-site shoots at the LA UpCenter, 4 to 5x per month minimum
- Handle camera, audio, and lighting for long-form (5 to 15 min) episodes
- Capture enough coverage — angles, b-roll — to support real pacing in the edit
Editing & Post-Production
- Edit long-form episodes with the pacing and storytelling of the best long-form YouTube content out there, this is not quick-turnaround social editing
- Cut a strong long-form episode plus a set of shorts/clips repurposed from the same shoot
- Bring real experience keeping long-form retention high — pacing, hooks, avoiding the mid-video drop-off
Collaboration
- Work directly with our team and host to structure each episode before filming: outline, key beats, storyline
- Direct on set to keep footage usable and on-story
- Debrief after each shoot on what worked and what to change next time
Channel Development
- Bring format and series ideas beyond a single review structure
- Help test what actually keeps people watching, and adjust
- Own the visual consistency of the channel episode to episode
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
What we're looking for
- A proven track record producing and editing long-form YouTube content specifically — send examples, not a generic reel
- Comfortable running a full production day, camera to final cut
- Able to reliably commit to Redondo Beach, 4 to 5 full days a month
