Job description

We’re looking for a high-end video editor with a minimum of 3 years’ professional editing experience and a portfolio demonstrating polished commercial work, excellent creative judgement and strong post-production fundamentals.

DaVinci Resolve is our preferred platform, especially for professional colour grading. We’re also open to exceptional CapCut and Premiere Pro editors who can consistently deliver high-quality work at volume. Across all platforms, we expect strong pacing, storytelling, sound design, colour correction and attention to detail.

The ideal candidate can move confidently between cinematic commercials, natural organic social content, simple clean edits and direct-response Meta advertisements. They understand the purpose of each video and adapt their approach accordingly.

Speed and efficiency are essential. They must manage a substantial workload, maintain a high standard, meet deadlines, follow detailed briefs and implement feedback accurately.

Additional strengths we highly value include:

• Advanced DaVinci Resolve colour grading, including Log workflows, natural skin tones and consistent shot matching.
• Fast, polished production workflows in CapCut or Premiere Pro.
• After Effects, motion graphics and design skills.
• Effective use of AI tools to improve productivity while maintaining quality.

We want an experienced, proactive and reliable professional for a dedicated, long-term, full-time role.
