We're looking for a Video Editor who can turn raw footage into scroll-stopping content that performs. Based in our Newcastle office and working closely with our Founder, Jay Wright, you'll be creating high-quality video content daily across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn - delivering sharp, engaging videos that drive real results. This is an entry-level role perfect for someone hungry to turn their content career professional.
Responsibilities
Transform raw footage into polished, ready-to-publish videos with tight pacing, strong hooks, and platform-optimised outputs.
Edit daily content across multiple formats (9:16, 1:1, 16:9) for different platforms.
Apply captions and trending sounds in line with brand standards.
Translate creative briefs into strong, visually engaging content.
Adapt content for different platforms and audiences, tailoring pacing and tone.
Integrate licensed music, sound effects, and stock footage as required.

Review feedback and analytics from the Content Creator to continuously improve your edits.
Stay current with social media trends, editing styles, and viral formats.
Recommend new approaches to structure, hooks, or visual execution that can lift results.
Keep all projects well organised with consistent naming conventions and clear folder structures.
Deliver all assets on time and to brief.
Qualifications
You're a social media native – you live and breathe social, know what's trending, what sounds are taking off, and can demonstrate how you've made engaging content.
Strong proficiency in CapCut and native editing software like TikTok or Instagram Edits.
You can review long-form recordings, spot the best moments, and turn them into engaging short-form videos without step-by-step direction.
Skilled in adding captions and trending sounds that enhance storytelling.
Strong eye for pacing, composition, visual detail, and picking attention-grabbing shots.
Ability to edit for speed, retention, and engagement while maintaining brand tone and consistency.
Experience optimising content for different aspect ratios and platform requirements.
Ability to interpret creative briefs and execute with minimal direction.
Highly organised with excellent time management – proven ability to meet tight deadlines.
Excellent communication skills.
Comfortable working autonomously while maintaining close communication with the Founder and Content Creator.
You bring energy, initiative, and creativity to every edit, keeping the process fast and fun.
You're obsessed with getting better – you study creators, watch breakdowns, and test what you learn. You want to master social content, not just make it.
