The Role

As we continue to scale, we’re looking to dramatically increase our volume of content across our social media and digital channels, and we’re looking for a talented video editor to help us turn our growing library of raw footage into engaging, on-brand content.

This is a high-volume, fast-paced editing role and we're looking for someone who is creative, trend-savvy and efficient - who can take an idea or a folder of raw footage and quickly turn it into something people want to watch.

The majority of your work will be short-form social video, primarily for Instagram and Facebook, as well as TikTok in the near future. Some longer-form content and editing will also be required as we capture more educational content for YouTube and various digital marketing channels.

• Creating strong hooks, pacing, cuts, captions, text overlays, music and other editing elements.


• Editing interviews, testimonials and talking-head content into concise, engaging videos.


• Creating different versions of content where useful, including alternative hooks, openings or cutdowns.


• Occasionally editing longer-form content for YouTube and various digital channels.


• Repurposing longer-form content by editing footage into shorter social-first cuts.


• Editing video assets for our paid Meta ads, working alongside our wider marketing team and external paid ads agency.


• Taking existing concepts and briefs and bringing them to life, while also suggesting your own creative approaches.

• Self-sufficient - able to take a brief or rough idea and run with it.


• Platform-aware - understands how content needs to work differently across social platforms.


• Practical - has a good eye for detail and is able to align with brand guidelines.
