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).
