About the Role
We're looking for a fast, social-first video editor to support our growing social media content team. You'll edit short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn — talking-head videos, event snippets, founder-led content, campaign cutdowns, testimonials, and other social-first formats.
You should be comfortable with quick turnarounds, platform-native editing styles, subtitles, text overlays, music, sound effects, simple motion graphics, and leveraging AI tools to speed up your workflow. This role is for someone who understands that social editing isn't just about making videos look nice — it's about holding attention, improving clarity, and helping content perform.
Fresh graduates are welcome to apply, as long as you have a strong portfolio of short-form social videos.
Key Responsibilities
Edit short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.
Create multiple cutdowns from raw footage.
Add subtitles, hooks, text overlays, sound effects, music, transitions, and simple graphics.
Utilise AI tools (e.g. for audio cleanup, auto-captioning, or generative assets) to streamline the editing process and enhance production value.
Adapt videos into different aspect ratios and formats.
Work from briefs provided by the social media team.
Suggest improvements to pacing, hooks, structure, and visual flow.
Manage revisions efficiently and keep project files and footage organised.
Support simple thumbnail or cover-frame creation where needed, using traditional or AI-generative design tools.
Requirements
Fresh grads welcome, as long as you have a strong portfolio of short-form social videos.
Strong understanding of TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and social video pacing.
Proficient in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar editing tools.
Familiarity with AI-driven editing features (e.g. text-based editing, auto-reframe) and generative AI platforms (such as Midjourney, ElevenLabs, Runway, or CapCut's AI toolkit).
Able to edit quickly without sacrificing clarity.
Good sense of rhythm, captions, hooks, and viewer retention.
Comfortable working in a lean, fast-moving team.
