Job description

Jora New Zealand will close on 16th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

The Creative Store - Mount Maunganui, North Island

Our client is all about their customers and providing amazing customer service, and they have phenomenal reviews to back it up. Located in Mount Maunganui, our client is looking for someone who loves telling stories through short-form social video.

You are a creative Video Editor and Producer who can edit and is also a masterful organiser; someone who has hands‑on experience and can meticulously organise and understand why content works.

In this role, you will be working across paid ads for Meta, with organic in the mix. You will be pivotal from concept to rollout: editing, filming, running shoot days, and building the content library.

The Role:

• Most of the editing happens in CapCut. If you have Premiere Pro that’s great too. You will have great creative taste and aesthetic: knowing which clip to choose, when to cut, and why.
• You don’t have to be on camera. You need to be comfortable behind the camera and in the edit.

What you will be doing:

• Editing two or three days a week: around ten videos a week, all for one brand
• Filming the team and founders in a natural, engaging way
• Helping plan and run shoot days: beach, office, street
• Working with the UGC creators, clipping their footage and spotting the gems
• Reviewing how your work performed (hook rates, watch time, what won and why) and folding what you learn into the next round
• Owning the content library and building the content systems

What we are looking for:

Experience, a strong portfolio, and great taste. You have made content that worked, you know why it worked, and you can do it again.

You are:

• Working as a content creator, editor or videographer, whether for a brand, an agency, a creator, or yourself (organic or paid, either is great)
• Scrolling constantly, with real opinions on why some videos hold you, and others don’t
• Noticing the details: the clip choice, the pause before the line lands, the first two seconds
• Using AI tools, and excited about the future with them

This company is big on AI - they are building their own AI infrastructure for content creation in-house. You will already be playing with AI tools and keen to go a lot deeper.

If you love making things, and have experience creating great organic or paid content - we would love to hear from you.
