Video Editor

We're looking for a Video Editor who lives and breathes digital content — someone who understands what makes a YouTube video stop the scroll in the first 8 seconds, and can execute that instinct from shoot day all the way to the final export. This isn't a sit-in-the-corner-with-headphones role. You'll be on set, on location, in the room where the content gets made.

Important: This role requires active participation in offline shoots and production activities. You'll be expected to be present on location, contribute creative input during filming, and own the content end-to-end — not just receive footage and edit in isolation.

What you'll do:

• Edit long-form YouTube videos that retain viewers — strong pacing, clean cuts, smart use of B-roll, music, and graphics to keep audiences hooked.
• Create short-form cuts (Reels, Shorts, clips) from long-form content optimised for each platform's algorithm and viewing behaviour.
• Be actively present on offline shoots — assist with setup, framing, directing flow, and capturing behind-the-scenes content where required.
• Collaborate with the production team during pre-production — reviewing scripts, shot lists, and storyboards to think like an editor before a single frame is shot.
• Add motion graphics, lower thirds, subtitles, and text overlays that are on-brand and visually clean.
• Manage colour grading and audio correction to ensure every video meets broadcast-level quality standards.
• Organise and maintain media libraries, project files, and footage archives in a structured, retrievable format.
• Iterate quickly on feedback without losing creative direction — balancing client/brand input with content best practices.
• Stay updated on trending content formats, editing styles, and YouTube best practices to keep output fresh and competitive.
