Video Editor (LinkedIn & Social Growth)
Location: London
Type: Contract
Salary: Dependent on experience and ability, opportunity for this to turn full time.
About Us
We run Jimmy's Jobs of the Future - one of the UK's fastest-growing media companies exploring work, business, and the economy.
From interviewing Prime Ministers to founders building the next generation of companies, our content is designed to travel.
We also run Boxlight - a creative agency helping high-growth companies tell better stories through video, our clients include the worlds top investors.
We're now looking for a video editor - not just editing, but what makes people stop scrolling, being able to select the moment for an episode and taulor it to a platform is just as important as being able to do the edit itself.
The Role
You'll take long-form interviews and turn them into high-performing content
This isn't about pretty edits.
It's about:
Retention
Hooks
Shareability
Growth
You'll be responsible for turning one conversation into 10–30 pieces of content that travel.
We want people that align with our mission and values about promoting business and enterprise, many video editors, do not fall into this category, we want someone who is interesting in the economy of the future
What You'll Be Doing
* Edit short-form video clips (30–120 seconds)
* Craft strong hooks in the first 1–3 seconds
* Add captions, graphics, and pacing that maximise retention
* Identify viral moments from long-form interviews
* Experiment constantly: formats, styles, pacing, thumbnails
* Work closely with the founder/team on content strategy
* Help shape our editorial voice - not just execute it
What We're Looking For
You probably have:
* 1–4 years editing for social (LinkedIn a big plus)
* Strong instincts for what performs (not just what looks nice)
* Experience with Premiere Pro / Final Cut / After Effects
* A portfolio of clips that have actually travelled
But more importantly, you:
* Think like a content creator, not just an editor
* Obsess over why something gets 500 views vs 500,000
* Understand pacing, storytelling, and attention
* Can spot the moment in a 60-minute conversation
* Are fast, proactive, and experimental
Bonus Points
* You've grown your own account or channel
* Experience of editing trailers
* You understand LinkedIn's algorithm and audience behaviour
* You've worked with podcasts or interview content
* You have opinions (we like opinions)
What Success Looks Like
* Our clips consistently outperform industry benchmarks
* You help us turn episodes into distribution machines
* You contribute ideas that directly drive audience and revenue growth
Why Join
* Work directly with the founder — high ownership, little bureaucracy - you have got a good idea, run with it, make the role your own.
* Be part of a fast-growing media brand at an inflection point
* Shape the voice and growth of a platform with serious ambition
* Opportunity to grow into a Content / Creative Lead role
How to Apply
Send:
* Your portfolio (with examples that performed well)
* 2–3 clips you've made that you're proud of
* What editing tools you are most proficient in?
* What's the most interesting thing you've seen on LinkedIn in the last 7 days - and why?

* This is a growth role disguised as editing.
