We operate 4 days in the office with the ability to work from home on Fridays.

If you live and breathe video content, love crafting compelling narratives through footage, and have a strong grasp of the latest digital trends - we want you!

As our resident Video Editing Maestro, you'll work on dynamic campaigns across industries including fashion, lifestyle, F&B, and tech. From refining raw footage to color grading, title design, and motion graphics, you'll play a key role in producing polished content that captivates audiences and delivers results.

What You’ll Do

• Review shooting scripts and raw footage to create structured, engaging edits.
• Collaborate with creative teams to execute high-quality video content from concept to final cut.
• Develop motion graphics and title animations using Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop.
• Color grade and sound design videos to ensure a professional finish across platforms.
• Archive and manage content assets systematically for future reuse and adaptation.
• Support idea development by pitching visual approaches for new campaigns and formats.
• Stay up-to-date with video trends, tools, and editing techniques to keep our content fresh and relevant.

What Else Are We Looking For?

• Proven experience in video editing and motion design (agency experience is a plus).
• Strong command of Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop).
• A sharp sense of timing, pacing, and storytelling.
• An eye for design and aesthetics, with meticulous attention to detail.
• Experience in color correction and grading workflows.
• A problem-solver who can work independently and meet tight deadlines.
• A collaborative attitude and ability to give/receive feedback like a pro.

We pay a lot of attention to building our culture and we’re looking for people that will add value to Socialize. We’re interested in your passion projects, in what makes you tick, and what helps you get out of bed in the morning. We’re looking for where you fit within our value framework: The Code: of working better together, focus, and going beyond the expected. We joined forces with We Are Social in 2018, becoming part of a global socially-led creative agency network. You can explore more about what we bring to the table here.

At Socialize, we’ll give you the opportunity to work within a fast-paced, evolving team. You'll work across departments and work with new and existing clients. You’ll be empowered to take on the responsibility to grow your role and build an enviable portfolio of experience. If you like working holistically in a creative-led agency working closely with the creative, technology and media teams to create incredible, thumb-stopping work - then we might just be the place for you.
