About Rest:
At Rest, we're redefining what comfort means through continuous innovation in form, material, and technology. We believe quality sleep is essential for overall well-being, and we're here to help people get the restful nights they deserve. Our mission is simple: Ensure Everyone Gets a Good Rest.
Joining our team means becoming part of a company that pushes boundaries and leads with purpose. You'll be part of a collaborative and dynamic environment that fosters creativity and challenges the status quo. If you're looking for a place where your ideas will have a direct impact on both customer experience and business growth, you've found it.
Our Core Values:
- Be Kind - We create a supportive space for growth and innovation, where everyone's contributions matter.
- Be Agile - We thrive on change, embracing it as an opportunity to evolve.
- Be Open - Transparency and diversity of thought drive our best decisions.
- Be Disruptive - We challenge the ordinary, aiming for breakthroughs rather than just meeting expectations.
- Be Empathetic - We take the time to understand others' needs, building with their futures in mind.
- Be Responsible - We own our actions and their impact.
- Be Better Than Yesterday - We commit to continuous improvement in everything we do.
Why You'll Love It Here: At Rest, content is the product story. Nobody can feel how cool our fabric is through a screen, so the edit has to do it for them.
This is a hybrid seat. Some days you are cutting a long-form YouTube film from an ambassador shoot. Other days you are designing a set of Story frames for a colour drop that goes live tomorrow. You will not be handed a locked-down brand deck and asked to colour inside it. You will help decide what our content looks and feels like, then build it. If you want your work seen by hundreds of thousands of people within days of making it, this is the seat.
About the Role:
You are the person who turns everything we shoot and plan into everything we publish.
Studio shoots, ambassador and talent footage, creator UGC, product demos and science explainers all land with you. So do the design briefs - Story frames, campaign graphics, email and landing page modules, event invites and blog covers. You decide how the footage gets cut, graded, captioned and packaged, and how the static work around it looks, so every asset lands on the platform it was built for.
You will work from written briefs with explicit specs, owners and due dates, and hand back finished files plus the working source so the team can reuse them. Speed matters here. We shoot in batches and publish constantly, so the gap between shoot day and live asset is one of the numbers you own.
Success looks like this: our content output goes up, turnaround comes down, nothing sits waiting on one person, and the work performs. You will know which hooks held attention and which died at three seconds, and the next cut will be better because of it.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Edit short-form vertical video for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, built hook-first for retention.
- Cut long-form YouTube content, campaign hero films, product demos and brand films.
- Multiply every long-form piece into three to five Shorts and platform cutdowns, so one production day feeds weeks of content.
- Edit ambassador and talent footage to deadline, including shoots with fixed usage windows where late delivery means the asset cannot run.
- Turn creator and UGC raw footage into multiple edit variants for organic posting and paid testing.
- Design static and animated social assets to spec - 9:16 Story frames, 1:1 and 4:5 crops, carousels, campaign graphics and teasers.
- Design across the wider brand - email, landing page and PDP modules, blog covers, event and media day collateral, and internal brand assets.
- Produce motion graphics, on-screen text, subtitles, sound design and colour grading to a consistent brand standard.
- Deliver against briefs with named owners, due dates and sign-off steps, and hand back both final exports and editable source files.
- Maintain the video and asset library so every clip, cut and file is tagged, versioned and findable without asking you.
- Flag claim-sensitive content early, not at final cut, so anything covered by our claims and compliance rules is cleared before it ships.
- Use performance data and platform feedback to sharpen the next round of edits.
- Other job duties related to the role as required.
Who You Are:
- You have 3+ years editing and designing for a consumer or DTC brand, agency or high-output content team, and you have done both crafts in the same seat.
- You are fluent in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (or DaVinci Resolve), plus Figma, Photoshop and Illustrator.
- You have a portfolio of short-form work that performed, and you can talk through why it performed.
- You understand hooks, pacing, retention and what makes someone stop scrolling in the first second.
- You can design as well as you edit. Type, layout and composition are not an afterthought for you.
- You are fast, and you protect quality while being fast. A brief in the morning is something reviewable by end of day.
- You work from a written brief with minimal hand-holding, and you ask the sharp question early rather than the awkward one late.
- You are disciplined with files, versions and naming, and you hand over source files as standard, not on request.
- You are comfortable being the single point where a lot of work converges, and you say so early when a queue is about to become a bottleneck.
- You are curious about AI creative tools and already use them where they genuinely save time.
- You embrace our core value to Be Better Than Yesterday. You treat every underperforming edit as information, not criticism.
What We Offer:
- A fast-paced, collaborative environment that fosters innovation.
- The opportunity to have a direct impact on creative direction and business growth.
- Work-from-anywhere flexibility - our fully remote workforce empowers you to create a workspace that suits your lifestyle.
- Continuous learning and career development opportunities.
- A team that values diversity, inclusion, and different perspectives.
- A supportive environment that encourages personal growth and well-being.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): At Rest, we believe diversity drives innovation and creates better products and experiences. Our mission to ensure everyone gets a good rest extends beyond our products - it shapes our culture. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where every team member feels valued, supported, and empowered. We actively celebrate diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences, and we encourage applications from people of all communities.
We don't just accept diversity - we celebrate it. We strive to build a company where everyone feels a sense of belonging and has the opportunity to thrive.
