Full job description

A boutique London-based creative agency specialising in Social, Video Production, Paid Media Advertising, Influencers, and Strategy is looking for a Part-Time Video Editor to join their team on an initial 3-month contract, working 3 days per week, 7.5 hours per day.

The role will involve editing a variety of raw footage into engaging, polished, social-first video content, ranging from corporate talking-head pieces to visually rich interior design, lifestyle, and brand content.

This role would suit a video editor who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys variety, and takes pride in producing clean, engaging edits that are ready to publish. The work is primarily focused on short-form social content, with occasional longer-form pieces and basic motion graphics.

There is potential for the role to extend into a full-time position for the right person.

Responsibilities
  • Edit raw footage into high-quality, social-first video content across a range of formats, styles, and tones.
  • Produce primarily short-form content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
  • Edit a variety of content styles, including corporate, talking-head, lifestyle, interiors, and brand content.
  • Turn around edits quickly while maintaining a high standard of quality.
  • Create basic motion graphics, including end cards, lower thirds, text animations, and simple animated elements.
  • Apply colour grading and audio mixing where required to elevate the final edit.
  • Collaborate with the creative team to ensure edits align with brand tone and platform best practice.
  • Manage multiple projects and deadlines across a 3-day working week.
  • Organise and prioritise workload independently within a fast-paced, high-volume workflow.
  • Occasionally work on longer-form video content where required.

Requirements
  • Proven experience editing video content for social media platforms, particularly Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality short-form social video editing.
  • Experience working across varied content styles, from corporate and talking-head content to lifestyle, interiors, and visually driven brand content.
  • Ability to work quickly and efficiently while maintaining high standards.
  • Basic motion graphics skills, including lower thirds, end cards, and simple animated elements.
  • Working knowledge of colour grading and audio mixing.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve is required.
  • After Effects experience is advantageous.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines independently.
  • Ability to work reliably during agreed UK working hours, with flexibility of up to one hour either side.
  • Flexibility to work different 3-day schedules depending on upcoming content requirements.
  • Previous experience working in a fast-paced agency or high-volume content environment is advantageous.
  • CapCut-only editors will not be considered.
