Chuff Reacts - YouTube - Clip Researcher

We're a fast-growing YouTube brand delivering hilarious reactions, viral moments, and high-energy entertainment across multiple channels.

Chuff Reacts is looking for Clip Researchers to support our pre-production process by sourcing, curating, and preparing clips for our reaction videos. Alongside our main channel, we've recently launched Chuff Footy Reacts, meaning we're now producing both general reaction content and football-focused reactions.

We are open to working with:

Football-focused Clip Researchers (for Chuff Footy Reacts), and/or
General Clip Researchers covering viral / internet content (for Chuff Reacts)

This is a freelance, remote role suited to someone who enjoys digging through content, understands pacing and relevance, and can deliver clip packs that are genuinely ready to record.

Next Steps
If this sounds like you, please apply by completing our application form.

The application process is designed to help us understand how you think and work. The form includes three parts:

1. Written application
A short written section covering basic information and background.

2. Short clip research task
A focused, time-boxed clip research task to show your instincts, judgement, and how you approach a brief. This is not a full project.

3. Video application
A short video (around 7 - 10 minutes) answering a few questions we'll provide.
This does not need to be edited or polished, a simple single take is absolutely fine.

We're mainly looking to understand how you think and make decisions, not production quality.

If shortlisted, the next step will be a scoping and onboarding call to walk through the role, workflow, and expectations.

The final stage will be two paid trial projects, giving both sides the chance to see how the collaboration works in practice before moving into ongoing freelance work.
