Role Summary
We’re a UK-based agency looking for a skilled Video Editor who can create strong social-first content while also handling more detailed and polished edits when needed. This role is focused on editing high-performing short-form content for platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn, alongside longer-form edits including case studies, promo videos, presentations, and brand content.
You’ll be expected to work quickly, creatively, and with strong attention to detail.
