We’re a music focused creative & growth agency turning music artist's fan-page buzz into real-world impact for breakout and superstar artists. Our campaigns have powered UK and US #1 hits and shattered streaming records for artists around the globe. With a short-form engine that racks up hundreds of millions of views per month across TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts, we’re scaling fast—and looking for editors who can keep that momentum surging.

The Role (US/UK/EU)

You’ll craft scroll-stopping, story-driven TikTok edits that amplify our artists’ voices and ignite fan communities.

What you’ll do

• Clip, cut, caption, and package 10- to 60-second videos from live shows, shoots, promo, ugc and raw phone footage.
• Add text overlays, memes, motion graphics, and trending-sound chops that feel native—not ads.
• Format multiple aspect ratios, export at lightning speed, and deliver tidy file structures.
• Work with our strategists to hit daily/weekly posting calendars and iterate from analytics.
• Flag viral moments/trends/edit styles and pitch ideas before they blow up elsewhere.

What makes you a fit

• 1–3 yrs editing TikTok/Reels for artists, creators, or brands with proven high-view clips.
• Fast in Adobe Premiere / After Effects or Final Cut; CapCut or mobile-editor chops a plus.
• Finger on the pulse of TikTok trends, hooks, captions, and meme pacing.
• Strong audio sense—beat matching, lyric on-screen timing, basic mix tweaks.
• Comfortable with remote workflows (Frame.io, Slack, Google Drive).
• Love music and deep understanding of fandom.
• Bonus: basic color, motion-graphics templates, or subtitling in multiple languages.

How to Apply

email [e-mail] with:

• Subject line: “Video Editor – [Your Name]”
• Links showcasing your top 3 edits.
• link to 3 artists/pages you think are doing short form well at the minute. (these can be artists accounts/fan accounts or any page promoting music)
