The role
We’re hiring a Video Editor to create brilliant, high-performing content for our clients and Aperture .
You should be chronically online, in the best possible way.
You know what people are watching, sharing and talking about. You spot emerging formats before every brand starts copying them. You understand why a video holds someone’s attention, when an edit feels native and when something feels too polished, too slow or painfully corporate.
You’ll turn raw footage, creator content, product recordings, AI-generated assets and creative concepts into paid social ads and organic content that people actually want to watch.
AI-native. Human-led.
This is an AI-native creative role, but it is fundamentally human-led.
We're not looking for people who can generate content. We're looking for tastemakers: editors with exceptional judgement who know what feels fresh, what feels native and what people actually want to watch.
AI expands what's possible, but taste is what makes the work valuable. The tools will keep changing; your eye for storytelling, internet culture, pacing and creative direction is what sets the standard.
If you're the person sending references before everyone else has seen them, spotting formats before they become trends, and pushing ideas beyond the obvious, you'll fit right in.
Requirements
What you’ll do
Edit paid social ads, UGC, creator content and short-form organic videos.
Turn raw footage into compelling stories with strong hooks, pacing and structure.
Create multiple versions of concepts to test different openings, messages, formats and lengths.
Add captions, music, sound design, graphics, transitions and motion where they improve the work.
Adapt videos for TikTok, Reels, Meta, YouTube Shorts and emerging platforms.
Use generative video, image, voice and audio tools to create, transform and extend creative assets.
Combine AI-generated scenes with creator footage, product recordings, motion graphics and traditional edits.
Experiment with tools such as Luma, Runway, Kling, Veo and whatever emerges next.
Develop repeatable AI workflows that increase the speed, range and ambition of our creative output.
Keep up with trends, creators, sounds, memes, editing styles and wider internet culture.
Bring relevant references and proactive ideas into creative discussions.
Work closely with creative strategists, designers, performance marketers and creator managers.
Use performance results to improve future edits and iterate on winning ideas.
Share new tools, techniques and creative possibilities with the wider team.
Keep projects, source files and versions organised across multiple accounts.
You’ll be great at this if You have a strong portfolio of short-form video work.
You understand how to earn attention within the first few seconds.
You have an instinct for pacing, storytelling, humour, tension and timing.
You can edit quickly without the work feeling careless.
You understand the visual language of TikTok, Instagram, Meta and YouTube.
You know the difference between using a trend well and arriving after it is already dead.
You’re confident using Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut or similar tools.
You’re already experimenting with AI creative tools and can show us what you’ve made.
You understand that prompting is only one part of the process; taste, direction, editing and iteration are what make the output good.
You can recognise and correct the inconsistencies, artefacts and visual clichés that make AI-generated content feel cheap.
You’re excited by how quickly creative technology is changing and actively teach yourself new workflows.
You can take inconsistent or imperfect footage and find the strongest possible edit.
You take feedback well, move quickly and aren’t precious about your work.
You care about how your work performs, not just how it looks.
Experience editing performance ads, UGC or creator-led content is a strong advantage, but exceptional social-first work matters more than a particular background.
This is not the role for you if You don’t spend much time on social platforms.
You only want to work on polished brand films or long-form productions.
You need every shot and transition mapped out before you can begin.
You prefer perfecting one video to producing and testing multiple strong versions.
You’re interested in making beautiful videos but not whether people watch or act on them.
You have no interest in using AI as part of your creative process.
You treat AI as a shortcut for weak ideas, poor craft or generic content.
You’re uncomfortable receiving frequent, direct feedback.
What success looks like in six months
Our videos feel current, native and distinctive.
Strong concepts are being turned into multiple testable edits quickly.
Winning hooks, structures and formats are being identified and iterated.
Editing is increasing the speed and quality of our creative output.
AI is meaningfully increasing the range and ambition of what we produce without reducing its quality.
You have introduced repeatable AI-assisted workflows that the wider creative team can use.
Performance learnings are consistently influencing new work.
The team trusts you to bring ideas, spot opportunities and deliver excellent work.
Benefits
Work from anywhere, with flexibility around how you structure your day.
Direct exposure to high-growth clients and meaningful work.
Regular team meetups and retreats, with travel covered.
Access to conferences, events and industry sessions.
Small team, high ownership and fast progression.
Before you apply
We read every application.
Show us the work that best represents your editing style, particularly short-form content, paid social, UGC or creator-led videos. Include anything you have created or enhanced using AI.
If you haven’t yet used AI extensively, tell us what you’re experimenting with and what you would be excited to create.
We’ll also ask a few questions about what you’re watching, what you think is working and how you approach an edit.
Specific, honest answers matter far more than polished ones. We can tell when something is generic.
