Overview

Our client is looking for a skilled and highly autonomous Video Content Editor to produce polished short-form and long-form video content for an international personal music brand. This is a focused production role — you will be responsible for editing and delivering platform-ready video content across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and YouTube, with basic content publishing as a secondary responsibility. You will not be required to manage social media strategy or community engagement.

Schedule

• Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM GMT, London, UK (20 hours per week)

Responsibilities

• Short-Form Video Editing: Edit Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts optimised for each platform — correct aspect ratios, pacing, and formatting included.
• Long-Form Video Editing: Produce full-length YouTube videos incorporating multiple clips, stills, b-roll, and scene transitions for sustained viewer engagement.
• Multi-Channel & Multi-Category Content: Create and edit content across multiple social channels and content categories, including music, comedy, and UGC-style content.
• Sound & Visual Effects: Apply music syncing, audio balancing, sound effects, colour grading, and visual treatments consistent with the brand's tone.
• Subtitles & Captions: Add accurate, well-styled captions and on-screen text across all short-form and long-form content.
• Cuts & Transitions: Use zoom in/out, smooth cuts, and creative transitions to maintain energy and engagement throughout each piece.
• Platform Formatting: Deliver all content correctly sized and formatted for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and full-length YouTube.
• Basic Publishing: Upload and schedule finished content to designated channels using provided copy and assets — no independent content strategy required.

Requirements

• Proven Video Editing Portfolio: Demonstrated experience editing short-form and long-form video content; music or entertainment content is a strong advantage. (APPLICATIONS WITH PORTFOLIOS WILL BE PRIORITIZED)
• Technical Editing Mastery: Proficiency in video editing software (CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve) including effects, captions, transitions, and audio treatment.
• Attention to Detail: Clean, precise edits with consistent quality and strong visual storytelling across all deliverables.
• Autonomous Delivery: Ability to interpret a creative brief, manage files, and meet turnaround times independently without constant supervision.
• Communication Skills: Strong written English for caption accuracy and clear communication with the client.
• AI-Powered Tools (Preferred): Experience leveraging AI-powered tools within the video production process to enhance creativity, efficiency, and content quality — including editing workflows, visual effects, captioning, content generation, and other emerging AI technologies.
