About the role

Clients book a video shoot when they need footage they cannot film themselves. The videographer films on location, then edits the footage into finished short videos.

Most of it is short and vertical: ads, Reels, a testimonial, a walkthrough of a shop or clinic. The video editor role is different: it works remotely on footage that clients send in.

This role is open on a rolling basis, so applications are read as they arrive rather than after a closing date.

Nice to have

Your first three months

• Month 2. Regular shoots and edits for clients in your city, planned with the account team.
