* Collaborate with producers, directors, and fellow editors during the entire post-production process, from ideation through final delivery.
* Incorporate graphics, music, SFX, and motion elements to elevate storytelling.
* Suggest and implement new editing styles, trends, and creative techniques to enhance the visual identity of our brand and content.
* Maintain organised project files and backups; manage versioning and archives.
* Provide editorial guidance and mentorship to freelance support editors
* Deliver edits on time, adapting quickly to feedback and evolving creative direction.
Skills & Qualifications:
* Proven experience editing digital content for YouTube and social platforms using Adobe Premiere Pro.
* Confident in sound mixing and colour grading to deliver broadcast-quality content.
* Strong eye for narrative structure, pacing, and emotional engagement—particularly in crime, documentary, or storytelling formats.
* Knowledge of current video and social media trends, with an ability to adapt tone and style per platform.
* Basic proficiency in graphic creation and motion design using Adobe After Effects or similar tools.
* Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with in-house and remote teams.
* Highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines.
* Open to creative feedback and dedicated to improving and iterating on work.
