Who are Coolr?

We’re an independent social media agency and team of creatives, social experts, content publishers and change makers.

Completely wired into popular culture, our work connects brands with their audiences at scale. With clients such as Burger King, Lidl, Deliveroo and Samsung (to name drop a few) our aim is to be the biggest social agency in the world.

With 70% growth last year the agency is growing at a rapid rate but we’re only just getting started… In 2025 we have ambitious plans for our agency and to truly become the stand-out social agency in the UK, the US and beyond.

We have a strong platform for growth and have made great strides forward – now we really want to take things to the next level.

About the role:

We’re looking for a Senior Social-First Video Editor who brings both technical craft and creative vision to the edit suite — and knows how to lead and inspire others to do the same. This is a pivotal role within Coolr’s post-production department, combining hands-on editing with mentoring, team development, and creative leadership.

The job

Every role at Coolr plays a vital part in the work we do. As a Senior Editor, you will:

Lead by example in crafting top-tier edits that combine pace, energy, and social-first storytelling.
Mentor junior and mid weight editors — offering structured feedback, technical guidance, and creative coaching.
Collaborate closely with creatives & producers to challenge briefs, improve workflows and elevate the creative output.
Oversee multiple edits at once, ensuring consistency of quality, brand tone, and editorial voice.
Actively contribute to shaping best practices, file structures, and team-wide editing processes.
Support onboarding and training of new editors, freelancers and juniors.
Work across an edit from proxy to grade and final delivery.
Stay on top of social trends, emerging styles and platform evolutions — and feed that knowledge back into the team.
Take ownership of creative output and delivery — pushing to raise the bar across Coolr’s edit output.

What we are looking for

This role is ideal for an experienced editor who wants to lead from the timeline, help shape a growing team, and make a visible impact.

You’ll need to:

Be a first-class, social-first video editor with a strong portfolio.
Show an in-depth knowledge of editing for TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts and broader social formats.
Be expert in Premiere Pro; confident in After Effects and Photoshop.
Understand modern storytelling and be comfortable cutting quickly with confidence.
Be comfortable directing others in edit, working across multiple timelines at once and giving timely, constructive feedback.
Be a problem-solver with a calm head and a sharp eye.
Be a strong communicator who is approachable and generous with knowledge.
Love social and have a strong interest in emerging creator talent.
