You'll be the person who turns raw footage into content people actually finish watching. Strategy and the content calendar sit with our Marketing Specialist. Your job is craft and output: the cut, the pacing, the hook, the packaging, and the volume to sustain it - across LinkedIn and Instagram today, with YouTube.

That said, we don't want a pair of hands. If you spot something worth filming, tell us. If you think a hook is weak, say so.

What You'll Own

Short-Form Editing

- Roughly 10 publish-ready short-form videos per week, with same-day turnaround on trend-driven pieces
- Retention craft: an opening that earns attention in the first 3 seconds (most viewers decide whether to keep watching before then), cuts every 1–2 seconds to avoid dead air, and payoffs that reward watching to the end
- Clean captions timed to the word, not just the sentence — most viewers watch with sound off, so captions carry the video
- Repurposing masterclasses, webinars and podcast footage into short-form assets (spotting the 5–10 clips inside a long recording that are worth cutting)
- Sound design, required B-roll and light motion graphics
- Reframing horizontal footage into clean vertical (9:16) without cropping people out of frame
- Cutting hook and angle variants for paid social testing

YouTube Long-Form - nice to have, not immediate

- Support on 1–2 long-form videos per week as the pipeline builds: structured 8–20 minute pieces
- Multicam editing and syncing across camera and audio sources
- Long-form retention - cold opens, chapter structure, cutting dead air, keeping a longer video moving
- Chapters, end screens, cards and description formatting
- Reading YouTube Studio's retention graph (it shows exactly where viewers drop off) and applying what it tells you to the next edit

Coordination





- Requesting BTS footage with as much specificity as possible — what to shoot, from where, for how long
- Asking for what you need from anyone filming locally
- Supporting filming days with shot lists and batching, so one session produces weeks of content
- Giving continuous feedback so the team keeps supplying what you need to produce top-quality videos

Packaging

- Hooks, titles, on-screen text and captions
- Thumbnails, treated as a package with the title, and tested against alternatives
- Trend translation - adapting sounds and formats popular on social media to Abra's world (luxury retail fit-out) without it feeling forced or off-brand
- Publishing natively to each platform
- Keeping footage, project files, templates and the B-roll library organised and retrievable

Must-Haves

- 0–2 years editing short-form content on the phone for Instagram, TikTok or YouTube Shorts - judged mainly on your portfolio, not your resume
- Working fluency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or DaVinci Resolve) plus a rapid-cutting tool like CapCut for quick vertical turnarounds
- A clear eye for retention - you can point to a video you cut and explain why it held attention
- Strong instincts for hooks, captions and on-screen text; you write as well as you cut
- Reliability and the organisation to hit a weekly publishing cadence without being chased
- Willingness to learn music licensing and commercial-use rules

Nice-to-Haves

- Any long-form YouTube editing experience
- Motion graphics (After Effects)
- Graphic design (Canva or Figma) for thumbnails and carousels
- Colour grading and audio repair on imperfect source footage
- Familiarity with AI-assisted clipping tools (e.g. Opus Clip, Descript)
- You've grown a YouTube channel or social account of your own
