Social Media Video Editor
About the role and the company hiring.
Our client is a growing commercial cleaning company based in London and is looking for a creative Social Media Video Editor to turn existing raw footage into engaging videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook.
The founder already films content and will provide raw videos, ideas, voice notes and reference accounts. Your main responsibility will be to bring this footage together into polished videos that feel personal, professional and engaging.
We are looking for someone with a strong eye for editing who can spot the best moments, build a clear story and keep viewers watching.
What you will be doing:
• Editing raw footage into short videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook
• Selecting the strongest clips and removing pauses, repetition and unnecessary footage
• Creating strong opening hooks through clip selection and on-screen text
• Adding accurate subtitles, music, sound effects and transitions where appropriate
• Improving audio, lighting and colour where needed
• Editing cleaning transformations, before-and-after videos, behind-the-scenes footage and founder-led content
• Following reference videos and adapting the editing style to suit the brand
• Preparing finished videos in the correct format for each platform
• Organising footage and making revisions following feedback
We are looking for someone who:
• Has a portfolio of short-form videos they have personally edited
• Is confident using CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or similar software
• Understands pacing, storytelling, hooks and what keeps people watching
• Can create clean, visually appealing edits without overusing effects
• Has strong written English for accurate subtitles and on-screen text
• Can work creatively with the footage provided without needing every cut explained
• Is reliable, organised and comfortable receiving feedback
Canva skills are a bonus, but video editing is the main focus of this role. You will work remotely with footage provided by the founder.
A university degree is not required. Your editing ability, creativity and portfolio matter much more to us.
