Job Description

Location: Remote (India) - View to be in the office fulltime once we secure a premisis.

Hours: Full-time, UK hours preferred (9:00am–6:00pm UK) Reports to: Senior Graphic Designer / Creative Lead (UK)

Role Summary

We’re a UK-based agency hiring a Video Editor with strong social-first instincts who can also handle more intricate edits. You’ll cut punchy Reels/Shorts/TikToks as well as longer-form case studies, promos, and presentation videos. You’re fluent in CapCut and Canva for fast-turn content, and comfortable stepping up to Adobe Premiere Pro (and ideally After Effects) when polish or motion is needed. Light animation is a bonus.

Responsibilities

  • Social-first editing: Craft high-retention short videos (Reels/Shorts/TikTok) with great hooks, pacing, captions/subtitles (SRT/burned-in), and on-screen text.
  • Longer-form & promos: Edit interviews, product explainers, case studies, sizzles, and ads; add B-roll, graphics, and tasteful transitions.
  • Motion & animation (bonus): Create simple motion graphics, animated titles, and lower-thirds; collaborate on lightweight logo/element animation.
  • Thumbnails & covers: Collaborate with design on scroll-stopping thumbnails/covers; export platform-specific variants.
  • Audio & colour: Clean audio (noise reduction, EQ, music balancing) and basic colour correction/grade to brand look.
  • Versioning & specs: Deliver platform-ready exports (9:16, 1:1, 16:9), correct codecs, bitrates, and file naming; maintain tidy project files.
  • Collaboration: Work from briefs with the Social Strategist and Senior Graphic Designer; take feedback in Notion/Asana and Frame.io/Drive.
  • Footage management: Organise intake, proxies, and selects; maintain an asset library (music, SFX, overlays, brand elements).
  • Compliance: Use licensed music, fonts, and assets; follow brand and accessibility guidelines (legible captions, safe areas).

Requirements

Must-haves

  • 3–5+ years editing for brands/creators or agencies, with a portfolio/showreel of high-retention social content.
  • Strong command of CapCut and Canva for fast cycles; solid skills in Adobe Premiere Pro.
  • Proven understanding of hooks, retention curves, and storytelling for short-form video.
  • Subtitle workflows (SRT/auto-captions), on-screen text, and export best practices.
  • Organized, reliable, and comfortable working full UK hours with cross-functional teams.

Nice-to-haves

  • After Effects for motion graphics/animated text; basic templates.
  • DaVinci Resolve (colour) or Audition (audio).
  • Basic camera knowledge and directing for capture lists/shot suggestions.
  • Familiarity with performance metrics (hook rate, AVD, watch time).

Tools

CapCut, Canva, Adobe Premiere Pro (AE a plus), Frame.io/Drive comments, Google Drive, Notion/Asana, G Suite.

KPIs

  • Short-form retention and watch time improvement (30s/60s).
  • Hook rate (viewers past first 3 seconds).
  • On-time delivery and low revision cycles.
  • Quality consistency across platforms and correct spec adherence.

Working Arrangement

  • Remote from India; operate “in the background” keeping client content on track.
  • Daily async updates; attend UK-time standups, reviews, and occasional live/timely edits.
