Job description

In a nutshell

We're looking for a technically skilled and creatively driven Video Editor Working Student. Your primary focus will be the post-production of our employer branding organic social content, acting as the final touch that ensures every video is engaging through dynamic editing and recognizable as Picnic at a glance.

You'll collaborate with a diverse team of campaign and event managers, supported by designers and the wider recruitment team of 30+ colleagues. Together, you'll create high-impact work that doesn't just sit in a folder. Our campaigns are the heart of our employer brand; convincing quality talent to join the ride.

Tricks of the trade

• Video Editing: Take raw footage and turn it into engaging content for LinkedIn and Instagram.
• Set Prep & Shooting : Support the team during shoots and directing non-professional subjects.
• Motion Graphics: A plus if you know the basics of motion graphics.
• Color Grading & Branding: Use your eye for detail to ensure all video assets are aligned, of high quality, and follow the branding guidelines.

Your superpowers

• You are currently pursuing a study in a creative field (e.g. Media studies or similar).
• You are a strong short-form editor: hooks, retention editing, colour grading, sound design, and a sense of music and tempo.
• You are comfortable shooting content with both a smartphone and a camera, with a good eye for framing, lighting, and composition.
• You understand color theory and have experience with editing and color grading software (Adobe Suite and CapCut).
• You think in "systems" and understand how to build project files that can be easily adapted to different platforms.
• Bonus: you have working knowledge of After Effects to adjust animations and graphics, as well as photography skills.
• Fluent in English (Dutch, French or German are a plus!)
