Job description

We’re looking for a Senior Videographer & Editor to join an astounding, fast-moving media and marketing team at one of London’s most exciting arts companies. This is a chance to bring your technical mastery and storytelling flair to projects that inspire, engage, and push creative boundaries.

This is a hands-on, high-energy role where no two days are the same. You’ll lead shoots, capture breathtaking footage, and craft narrative-driven edits for digital-first platforms like YouTube, rolling up your sleeves and shooting UGC content on an iPhone to support the wider team. You’ll join at a pivotal moment of growth, collaborating closely with our Creative Strategists and Media Producer to help define the visual voice of The Lost Estate.

Who Is This Role For?

This role is for someone who lives and breathes storytelling, combining technical skill with bold creative instincts. If you’re an expert videographer looking to flex your creative muscles, lead productions, and help build a best-in-class media team from the ground up, this is your moment.

We’re looking for someone ambitious, resourceful, and passionate - a self-starter ready to make a real impact on how we tell stories, and to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where every day brings new challenges. This role is right for you if you're an avid consumer of social media content, and passionate about the medium.

What You’ll Do

On Set

• Lead shoots with expertise in cameras, lenses, lighting, and professional audio to deliver cinematic storytelling.
• Take joint ownership of our videography kit, keeping it ready for any shoot - from cinema-grade productions to quick UGC captures.
• Occasionally get hands-on with iPhone or quick-turnaround shoots to support the wider team.
• Craft top-tier edits that combine pace, energy, and narrative-first storytelling.
• Deliver polished long-form edits from rough cut to colour grading, sound design, and final mastering.
• Structure footage for social editors, enabling quick cutdowns for paid ads or organic campaigns while preserving story integrity.
• Collaborate with internal or external editors to maintain a consistent storytelling voice across all content.
• Work efficiently without sacrificing quality - tight deadlines are part of the thrill.
• Partner with strategists and producers to refine briefs and bring bold storytelling ideas to life.
• Contribute to storyboarding, treatments, and creative development with a narrative-first mindset.
• Experiment with editing styles, motion graphics, and visual storytelling techniques.
• Keep developing your skills in colour grading, lighting, audio, and emerging storytelling trends.

What We’re Looking For

• Expert videography skills: cameras, lighting, rigging, and audio recording, ideally with cinema-grade cameras (Sony FX3 preferred).
• Editing mastery: Premiere Pro (DaVinci Resolve, After Effects a plus), with strong narrative editing, pacing, and colour grading skills.
• Storytelling first: Experience creating short documentaries, interviews, or films that captivate audiences.
• Creative instinct: A flair for detail, modern storytelling, and edits that feel engaging and platform-native.
• Fast-paced efficiency: Comfortable under pressure and tight deadlines without compromising storytelling quality.
• Collaborative communicator: Able to give clear direction and work closely with producers, strategists, and creatives.
• Bonus: Experience shooting iPhone or UGC-style content.

Why Join Us?

This is your chance to be at the heart of a trailblazing media team, producing content that is visually stunning, story-driven, and impactful. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our brand’s narrative voice and bringing stories to life that resonate with audiences.

If you’re a videographer and editor with technical brilliance, creative storytelling flair, and a hunger for innovation, this role offers the chance to create career-defining work.
