You will also create supporting visual assets that strengthen brand identity and ensure consistency across digital channels. Working closely with social media specialists, media buyers, and marketing teams, you will contribute creative ideas that align with campaign objectives and audience expectations. You will use engagement metrics, audience feedback, and emerging trends to continuously refine your content and improve performance. This opportunity is ideal for a creative professional who combines technical editing expertise, graphic design skills, and a passion for social-first storytelling in a collaborative remote environment.

Accountabilities:

• Short-form video editing and post-production: Edit engaging, platform-first videos for TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, transforming raw footage into polished content with compelling hooks, effective pacing, clear storytelling, and strong audience retention. Use cuts, transitions, captions, music, voiceovers, sound effects, and visual effects to enhance the viewing experience.

• Multi-platform content adaptation: Optimise video content for different social media platforms, aspect ratios, formats, and technical specifications. Ensure each asset is tailored to platform-specific requirements and audience behaviours while maintaining consistent creative quality.

• Graphic design and visual asset creation: Develop supporting creative materials, including thumbnails, static posts, Stories, overlays, text animations, and other branded visual elements. Ensure that all designs complement video content and reinforce the overall visual identity of each campaign.

• Motion graphics and creative development: Produce dynamic motion graphics and visual effects that enhance storytelling and audience engagement. Contribute creative concepts, story ideas, and initial video drafts, incorporating feedback from stakeholders to deliver effective final assets.

• Performance-driven creative optimisation: Collaborate with the social media team to review content performance and refine creative approaches based on engagement, retention, and other relevant metrics. Apply insights from campaign results to improve future videos and visual assets.

• Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with social media, conversion rate optimisation (CRO), media buying, sales, and other teams to understand campaign objectives and produce creative assets that support broader marketing and business goals.

• Social media trends and innovation: Stay informed about emerging content formats, editing styles, platform updates, audience preferences, and viral trends. Identify relevant opportunities to experiment with new creative techniques and keep content fresh, engaging, and competitive.

• Workflow and asset management: Maintain organised project files, source footage, design assets, and final exports. Apply clear naming conventions and version control practices to ensure efficient collaboration, easy retrieval, and smooth project handovers.

• Creative feedback and continuous improvement: Participate in creative reviews, respond constructively to feedback, and refine deliverables to meet stakeholder expectations, campaign requirements, and agreed quality standards.

Requirements:

• Professional experience: At least three years of professional experience in video editing and creative production, ideally specialising in social media content, short-form video, or digital marketing campaigns.

• Strong video editing skills: Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable editing software. You should be comfortable managing the full post-production process, from reviewing raw footage to delivering polished, platform-ready videos.

• Graphic design proficiency: Experience using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Figma, or similar design tools to create high-quality static assets, thumbnails, overlays, and supporting campaign visuals.

• Portfolio and creative execution: A strong portfolio demonstrating short-form video editing, visual storytelling, graphic design, and motion graphics where applicable. Your work should showcase creativity, technical proficiency, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt content to different audiences and platforms.

• Visual storytelling and audience engagement: Strong understanding of storytelling, opening hooks, pacing, composition, transitions, sound design, and visual hierarchy. You should know how to capture attention quickly and maintain viewer interest throughout short-form content.

• Communication and collaboration: Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with creative, marketing, and commercial stakeholders. You should be receptive to feedback, proactive in sharing ideas, and comfortable working in a remote-first team.

• Organisation and time management: Ability to manage multiple creative tasks, prioritise deadlines, maintain organised project files, and deliver consistent quality in a fast-paced environment.

• Additional creative capabilities: Experience with motion graphics, animation, or advanced visual effects is a plus. Familiarity with influencer campaigns, user-generated content (UGC), branded collaborations, and AI-powered video or design tools is also advantageous.

• Digital marketing knowledge: A background in digital marketing or performance-driven creative production is beneficial, particularly an understanding of how social media assets contribute to campaign engagement and business results.

• Remote work readiness: Ability to work independently while collaborating with an international team and maintaining sufficient availability within the Central European Time (CET) time zone.
