THE ROLE
We are looking for a Video Editor and Content Shooter with a performance marketing background to join the Ancient + Brave in‑house creative team. This is a hands‑on role for someone who is equally comfortable behind a camera and in the edit suite. You will shoot and edit video content built to perform across paid and organic social platforms.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Plan and shoot video content across a range of formats – UGC‑style, product‑focused, lifestyle and brand storytelling.
- Shoot on location, in‑studio and at our headquarters in Lewes, adapting style and approach to brief requirements.
- Light, set up and direct shoots efficiently, including solo self‑shooting where required.
- Work confidently with founders, team members and external talent on camera.
- Edit short‑form video content for paid social (Meta, TikTok) and organic channels.
- Cut, subtitle, colour‑grade and mix audio to produce polished, platform‑ready assets.
- Produce multiple creative variations from a single shoot to support performance testing.
- Deliver high volumes of content without compromising quality.
- Apply a performance mindset to all shooting and editing decisions – understanding hooks, pacing, format and structure that drive results.
- Collaborate with the Creative Strategist to execute briefs and creative concepts effectively.
- Iterate on content based on performance data and testing learnings.
- Use AI tools to support editing and content production at scale.
WHO YOU ARE
- Strong portfolio demonstrating high‑quality, platform‑native content for Meta and TikTok.
- Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (or equivalent).
- Proven experience shooting and editing short‑form video content for performance marketing channels – D2C, wellness, beauty or lifestyle brand experience a plus.
- Ability to plan, shoot and edit independently with minimal direction.
- Strong understanding of what makes video content perform – hooks, pacing, format and storytelling.
- Comfortable working at pace in a fast‑moving creative environment.
- Passionate about video craft and performance marketing in equal measure.
- Self‑sufficient, organised and highly proactive.
- Collaborative, with a positive attitude to feedback and iteration.
- Curious about platform trends and the evolving video content landscape.
- Excited by purpose‑led brands and wellness storytelling.
- Comfortable operating in a fast‑growing scale‑up with a hands‑on culture.
- Available at short notice and open to a part‑time or flexible arrangement.
BENEFITS
- All team members receive a suitable laptop computer, headphones and office equipment such as monitors, ergonomic chairs and standing desks.
- Unlimited supply of Ancient + Brave products in the kitchen – you also receive 50 % off on any product you wish to purchase.
- Discretionary bonus based on company performance and individual contributions, reviewed annually.
- ESG‑invested pension contributions.
- Private Medical Insurance with high‑quality care access.
- Medicash plan with specialist consultations, 24/7 virtual GP, health screenings, dental, optical and complementary therapies, plus EAP programme support.
- Mintago platform providing financial wellbeing advice, retail discounts and salary‑sacrifice schemes covering childcare, cycle‑to‑work, gym membership, groceries, electric vehicle and mobile/tech purchase.
- Annual holiday allowance of 25 days plus bank holidays, plus one wellbeing day.
- Continuous training and professional development opportunities, and complimentary nutrition and workout sessions in the office.
- Two social events a year to connect and collaborate.
