About The Position

As a mid-level Video Editor, you'll take ownership of edits from brief to delivery — working independently across a fast-moving, high-volume content slate. You'll collaborate closely with creative and account partners, adapting and cutting video assets across multiple formats and platforms with speed, precision, and a strong eye for what performs. This role suits someone who is comfortable working remotely and autonomously, managing multiple projects at once, and delivering consistently polished work to tight deadlines.

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects — confident across both tools for editing, motion, and asset adaptation
• Experience editing performance media and paid social video, with a strong understanding of what drives engagement and conversion in paid channels
• Ability to cut and adapt content across multiple formats, sizes, and platform specifications efficiently
• Strong sense of pacing, rhythm, and visual storytelling
• Comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment and managing a varied, fast-moving workload
• Delivers consistently high-quality work to brief and deadline without close supervision
• Clear communication with creative and non-creative collaborators in a remote-first setting
• A portfolio or showreel demonstrating a range of edited work, with performance or social video examples strongly preferred

• Manage revisions efficiently, incorporating feedback clearly and to deadline

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritising effectively and communicating progress clearly
• Support the continuous improvement of edit workflows, templates, and asset management processes
