Senior Video Editor - Performance Creative (Short & Long Form)

About us
We’re a UK growth agency. We build paid acquisition systems for founder-led businesses — and we make the ads that drive them. Our clients are already turning over £100k+ a month and are investing seriously in growth.
We’re not a content studio that throws captions on a clip and calls it a day. We have our own studio, our own production team, our own B-roll library, our own caption systems and our own reporting platform. We ship 20–25 pieces of creative a week — performance ads, VSLs, YouTube long-form, podcast cuts, testimonials, statics — and every one of them has to earn its place.
We’re looking for a senior editor to be the craftsperson on that team.
The role
You’ll own the edit end to end: from raw footage to a finished piece that performs. You’ll work across short-form performance ads and long-form VSLs and YouTube, on founder-led and talking-head content, for businesses that measure everything they spend.
You’ll work to a written brief — script with timestamps, take references, a named caption style and a B-roll pack — so you spend your time editing, not hunting for footage or guessing what someone meant. In return, we expect a real output: around four finished pieces a day, at a standard you’d put your own name on.
What you’ll actually be doing
• Cut short-form performance creative — 15–60 second founder-led ads, talking-head, UGC and podcast cuts — built for cold traffic and conversion, not just aesthetics
• Cut long-form — 8–15 minute VSLs and 20–60 minute YouTube and podcast episodes — with the pacing and retention instincts that keep people watching
• Work through raw multi-cam footage: find the take, kill the dead air, build the story
• Build genuinely dynamic edits — keyframing, punch-ins, speed ramps, seamless transitions, animated on-screen text and custom overlays
• Design and maintain our caption and graphic systems: Premiere MOGRTs and After Effects templates built for our brands, not off-the-shelf packs
• Grade and finish — LUTs, colour consistency across a whole batch, audio cleanup and level matching
• Cut statics, carousels and thumbnails from approved edits
• Use AI where it makes the work better — Higgsfield, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, Runway or Kling, Topaz upscaling, speech enhancement — and know when not to
• Take feedback in Frame.io and turn revisions around the same day
• Own your QC: captions accurate, framing right, safe zones respected, files named and delivered properly
• Help raise the bar — review work, propose style improvements, keep our template and LUT libraries current
What we’re looking for
• 5+ years editing, with at least 2 in performance or direct-response creative
• A portfolio of ads that actually ran, with results — not just pretty cuts
• Genuinely senior across both short and long form. If you only do one, this isn’t your role.
• VSL experience and a real understanding of what makes one convert
• Founder-led and talking-head experience — you know how to make a real person look and sound their best on camera
• Strong motion and design instincts: custom overlays, animated captions, kinetic typography
• Confident colourist and finisher
• Fluent with AI tooling, and genuinely curious about where it’s going
• Comfortable working from a brief without hand-holding
• Able to handle volume without dropping the standard
You’re probably not the right fit if
• You mostly use Envato templates and preset caption packs
• You only do short-form, or only long-form
• Your idea of a dynamic edit is a zoom and a whoosh
• You need someone to tell you where every cut goes
• You’d rather polish one video for a week than ship four a day at a high standard
Software and tools
• Essential: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop
• Working knowledge: Illustrator, Audition, Figma
• Workflow: Frame.io, ClickUp, Dropbox, Google Drive
• AI: Higgsfield, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, Runway or Kling, Topaz, Adobe Enhance Speech
• Bonus: Cinema 4D or Blender, Notion
Terms
• Full-time, permanent
• Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00, with overtime available
• Location — Remore
How to apply

4. How many pieces you can comfortably finish in a day, at a standard you’re happy with
5. Notice period and salary expectation
We review every application properly. If you send a showreel with no context, we won’t be able to assess you fairly — tell us what you did and what it was for.
