Job Title: Senior Video Editor

We are looking for a highly skilled and creative Senior Video Editor to take ownership of producing engaging, high-quality video content across our brands. The role will have a strong focus on short-form content for platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn, while also supporting the production of longer-form videos including YouTube content, interviews, podcasts, case studies and brand videos.

You should have a robust understanding of modern social media editing styles, storytelling, pacing, retention and how to turn raw footage into content that captures attention quickly and keeps viewers engaged.

Key Responsibilities

- Edit high-quality short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn and other social platforms.
- Turn raw footage, interviews, podcasts and longer recordings into engaging short-form clips.
- Edit longer-form content including YouTube videos, interviews, podcasts, testimonials, case studies and company videos.
- Create strong hooks and maintain engaging pacing throughout each video.
- Use captions, motion graphics, sound effects, music, B-roll, zooms, transitions and other editing techniques where appropriate.
- Understand how to edit specifically for viewer retention rather than simply creating visually attractive videos.
- Identify the strongest moments within long-form recordings and repurpose them into standalone social content.
- Work closely with the marketing and content team to translate ideas, scripts and briefs into finished videos.
- Maintain consistency with each brand's visual identity, tone and editing style.




- Manage multiple editing projects and meet agreed content deadlines.
- Organise and maintain video files, footage, project files and other creative assets.
- Provide creative input on how footage should be captured to improve the final content.
- Stay up to date with current social media content formats, editing trends and platform best practices.
- Continuously improve editing quality based on content performance and feedback.

What We're Looking For

- Proven professional experience as a Video Editor, ideally in a senior or highly autonomous role.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating excellent short-form social media editing.
- Experience editing both short-form and long-form video content.
- Excellent understanding of storytelling, pacing, hooks and audience retention.
- Strong understanding of content created specifically for social media rather than traditional corporate video editing.
- Advanced proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or similar professional editing software.
- Experience with After Effects, motion graphics or animation is highly advantageous.
- Strong understanding of sound design, colour correction, captions and basic visual effects.
- Ability to take raw footage and independently determine how to create the strongest final piece of content.




- Robust attention to detail and high standards for production quality.
- Ability to work quickly without compromising quality.
- Solid communication and ability to work collaboratively with marketers, content creators and leadership.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and work independently.

- Educational and thought-leadership videos
- Talking-head videos
- Reels, TikToks and YouTube Shorts

You will also periodically work on longer-form content such as:

Portfolio Requirement

Applicants must include a link to their video editing portfolio when applying.
