Editing & Post-Production

• Transform raw footage into polished content, adding graphics, subtitles, overlays, and sound design.
• Produce both long-form content and short-form cuts for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok.
• Apply advanced editing techniques (fast cuts, meme inserts, dynamic captions) while maintaining editorial accuracy and pacing.
• Execute green screen edits and branded visuals with precision.

Features & Creative Production

• Film and edit deep-dive documentaries and investigative features.
• Work closely with the Content & Production Lead to experiment with new creative series and formats.
• Bring editorial scripts to life with compelling shot selection, sequencing, and story rhythm.

Collaboration & Workflows

• Own the full chain: script - film - edit - review - upload.
• Coordinate with Visual Editor and Editors to align branding and polish.
• Maintain file naming, metadata standards, and a clean, accessible archive.

Deliverables

• High-quality edits of studio shoots, podcast interviews, location shoots, and features.
• Professional green screen outputs and branded interview edits.
• Short-form social media adaptations optimised for growth and engagement.
• Well-organised archives of footage, projects, and exports.
• Consistent delivery of creative features and productions as agreed with management.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in videography and video editing (portfolio required).
• Proficiency in tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve.
• Strong understanding of social-first content trends and editing styles.
• Ability to manage shoots independently and troubleshoot in real time.
• A creative eye with meticulous attention to detail.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a mission-driven media brand shaping the future of storytelling.
