Job description

RO is growing fast, and we're looking for a curious, ambitious Junior / Mid-Weight Video Editor who wants to create content for household brands and become a much stronger editor, storyteller and creative.

RO is a progressive, expanding team of digital marketers and creatives working across household brands and verticals including FMCG, food service, health, cosmetics, education and wellness. That means genuine variety: one day you could be working our lead videographer shaping a polished campaign film, the next cutting fast-moving social content, product stories or creator-led edits.

Just as importantly, we're known for how we treat people, both our clients and our team. You'll join a growing, dynamic agency in a full-time role, supported and mentored by experienced creatives and agency leaders who are invested in your development.

About the role

This is a role for someone with a strong foundation in editing who wants to get much better, quickly. You do not need to be the finished product, but you do need to understand the fundamentals, be comfortable in Adobe Premiere Pro and have working knowledge of After Effects.

You'll work across social, digital advertising and brand content, with the pace and variety of agency life.

We’re also interested in how you think. We want someone who takes the time to understand the brief, the client and the audience, then uses that understanding to make smarter creative decisions. You will be encouraged to go beyond simply executing instructions and to help find the strongest story in the footage.

As Junior / Mid-Weight Video Editor, you will:

• Edit engaging short-form and longer-form video across Instagram, TikTok, Meta, YouTube, websites and digital advertising.
• Turn raw footage into polished edits with strong pacing, structure, music choices and visual storytelling.
• Build and maintain organised Premiere Pro projects, footage libraries and versioning systems that make collaboration easy.
• Create edits, cut-downs, platform-specific versions and exports across multiple specs and formats.
• Complete colour correction and apply clean, consistent grades using Lumetri Color.
• Clean dialogue and voiceovers, balance music and sound effects, reduce unwanted noise and use sound to strengthen the edit.
• Use After Effects for basic text animation, we’ll help teach you masking, compositing and motion graphics.
• Work closely with our producer, videographers, designers and account team to understand the brief, audience, channel and desired response.
• Interpret feedback constructively, manage revisions and deliver consistently high-quality work to tight deadlines.
• Bring references, ideas and creative solutions to the table rather than waiting for every decision to be prescribed.
• Keep learning, experimenting and improving as editing styles, platforms and production tools evolve.

A little about you

• You have around 1-3 years of professional, freelance or high-quality content-production experience, supported by a portfolio or showreel.
• You're confident in Adobe Premiere Pro and have working knowledge of Adobe After Effects.
• You have an eye for pacing, story, music and the details that make content feel polished.
• You understand that a good edit is not only visually impressive. It needs to connect with the audience and achieve the purpose of the brief.
• You're organised, dependable and comfortable balancing multiple projects, brands and deadlines.
• You're receptive to feedback, unpretentious about revisions and motivated by making the work better.
• You're curious and commercially aware. You want to understand the client's business, audience and market, not just the footage in front of you.
• You're hungry to learn and comfortable using, or receptive to learning, approved AI-assisted post-production tools.
• You genuinely love content. You notice the pacing, transitions, sound choices and storytelling decisions that other people miss.

What's on offer?

We're a growing team, with strong capability across strategy, content, production, media and digital execution, so you'll see how the work moves from an initial brief through to production, delivery and performance.

You'll join a tight-knit agency with a great culture, experienced mentors and genuine career development opportunities. We're based at The Commons in Chippendale, a creative co-working space with:

• Ping pong and foosball
• A basketball court
• A beer tap and Friday pub club
• Weekly events and community perks

We offer a competitive salary package and, once you're settled in, flexible working arrangements.
