Beno; Dubai; On-site; AED 180,000 - 300,000; Full time

Job summary

BENO, a Dubai-based luxury lifestyle experiences company, is seeking an in-office editor and videographer to own post-production across its library, working with the Head of Media and the marketing team to shape the look of luxury campaigns.

You will edit, color, and finish content for maritime, automotive, desert experiences and events, while occasionally filming on shoots. Fluency in English and a strong editing reel are essential.

Qualifications

• Strong editing portfolio or reel; this is the primary basis for hiring, ahead of camera work.
• Strong proficiency in DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro; working knowledge of sound design.
• Strong AI literacy: comfortable using Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Higgsfield across editing, ideation, and day-to-day production or communication tasks.
• Presentable, professional, and clear in communication with the in-house team, partners, and anyone else involved in the department's productions.
• Fluent in English, written and spoken, able to communicate and understand everything related to the scope of the work.
• Skilled at cinematic, emotionally-driven cuts, not just fast-paced trend edits.
• Comfortable working in-office daily and iterating on cuts in real time alongside the team.
• Organized and disciplined with file and archive management.
• Working knowledge of video camera operation (Sony mirrorless and Cinema Line systems and lenses) for shoots and backup footage.
• Knowledgeable in standard production tools and platforms (Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Google Meet, Trello, and other tools relevant to the role).
• Comfortable working in physically demanding conditions when required, for example aboard boats or in the desert, given the range of environments across BENO's productions.
• Comfortable managing multiple projects under deadline.
• Minimum 5 years of professional experience (Dubai experience preferred)

Responsibilities

• Edit and finish versatile video content across maritime (yachts, watersports), automotive, desert experiences, events, brand commercial, and luxury lifestyle productions, covering structure, pacing, and color.
• Build pacing, emotional storytelling, transitions, and visually engaging compositions consistent with BENO's cinematic approach.
• Fluent in social-media-native editing, current with platform-specific trends, techniques, and specs for Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok.
• Manage footage ingest, organization, and backup through the department's on-site NAS system.
• Color correct in DaVinci Resolve and handle sound design.
• Deliver multiple formats optimized for Reels, TikTok, YouTube, paid ads, and other platform specs.
• Turn around same-day and time-sensitive edits for events, social, and brand needs.
• Maintain a consistent file-naming and archive structure across the production library.
• Operate as videographer on productions when needed, covering additional angles, behind-the-scenes footage, or full shoots as required.
• Coordinate handoffs with the remote editor on overflow or lower-priority projects.
• Communicate clearly on timelines and flag delays early.
• Flexible to work outside standard hours or on weekends when a production requires it
