Turn great footage into content that stops the scroll.

Rip Curl is looking for a Digital Content Editor to join our team in Torquay.

You’ll take supplied footage, campaign assets and master creative and turn them into polished, engaging content for Instagram, TikTok and other digital sales channels.

This is a hands‑on post‑production role for someone who understands that a great edit is more than technically polished. You know how the right hook, pace, story, text treatment, sound and call to action can turn creative into content that connects with an audience.

• Turn raw footage and campaign assets into polished, channel‑ready creative.
• Create strong hooks, pacing, transitions, captions, text overlays, effects and sound treatments.
• Adapt creative for different audiences, placements, aspect ratios, durations and campaign objectives.
• Produce cut‑downs and content variations efficiently while maintaining creative quality.
• Create motion graphics, titles and animation when required.
• Repurpose and optimise master creative for Instagram, TikTok and other digital channels.
• Work closely with Content, Social Media, Digital, Graphic Design and Production stakeholders.
• Use feedback and available performance insights to keep improving future edits.

What you’ll bring

You’re a strong editor with excellent creative judgement and an eye for the details that make digital content work.

You’ll have:

• Experience editing short‑form social and digital advertising content, backed by a strong portfolio or showreel.
• Advanced Adobe Premiere Pro skills.
• A strong understanding of hooks, pacing, storytelling, captions, typography, transitions, effects and calls to action.
• Knowledge of Instagram, TikTok and digital advertising conventions.
• The ability to juggle multiple briefs, edits, versions and deadlines.
• Strong attention to detail and commercial awareness.
• A collaborative approach, plenty of initiative and an interest in surfing culture and lifestyle.

Experience withAdobe After Effects, motion graphics, animation, colour grading, audio treatment, AI‑enabled creative tools or broader Adobe Creative Suite workflows would be a bonus.
