Senior Video Editor (with Strong Motion Graphics Skills)
We’re a specialist video agency focused on three things: Case Studies, Events, and Internal Comms.
Based in Leeds, we work with brands like Heineken, KP Snacks, and lots of other ambitious businesses across the UK—helping them communicate better, win more work, and tell stories that stick.
We’re looking for a Senior Video Editor who can take the lead in post—crafting strong interview-led narratives, building clean, sharp edits, and delivering motion graphics that bring every frame to life.
The Work You'll Be Doing
* Case Studies – We’re known for creating case studies that win business. You’ll turn real interviews and b-roll into clear, emotionally resonant stories that drive action. We use our own STORY Framework to shape the narrative and keep the edit focused on results.
* Event Videos – Our event edits are more than highlight reels—they’re crafted to capture the energy, emotion, and takeaways that matter.
* Internal Communications – From culture pieces to strategic messaging, we help businesses communicate clearly and effectively with their teams. You’ll edit internal content that’s actually engaging—not just another tick-box video.
* Creative Input – Editors at Seven aren’t just handed footage. You’ll often be involved early in pre-production, helping shape the creative direction alongside the director—bringing insight on structure, tone, and how best to tell the story in post.
* Motion Graphics – You’ll confidently produce:
* Lower thirds, title sequences, text callouts
* Logo animations and stings
* Animated transitions
* Light explainer graphics
* Rotoscoping, motion tracking, compositing, and layering techniques
* Managing edits from ingest to final delivery with strong organisation and attention to detail
* 7+ years’ experience editing professionally (agency, production house or similar)
* Strong After Effects skills, including kinetic text, branding animations, animated transitions, motion tracking, and rotoscoping
* Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) for building and prepping assets
* Strong narrative editing ability, particularly with unscripted interviews
* Ability to follow a structured framework (like our STORY Framework) while bringing creativity and style to every edit
* Solid colour correction (Lumetri)
* Good sound design instincts to lift emotional impact
* Clear communication and a strong sense of responsibility to deadlines
* A genuine interest in how storytelling drives business results
* Clear creative frameworks, strong briefs, and high expectations
* Specialist focus on Case Studies, Events, and Internal Comms where quality matters
* A creative team that values editors as storytellers—not just executors
* Hybrid working — collaborative in-person time in Leeds mixed with remote flexibility
* Opportunities to help shape how we deliver projects as we grow
* A chance to work on videos that actually make a difference
How To Apply (Important — Read This)
To apply, please complete all three steps:
* Showreel — upload your latest showreel showing editing and motion work
* Full Videos — send links to 2–3 full edits you've delivered (not just highlights)
* Short Video Interview (2–3 minutes) — record yourself answering:
* What stood out to you about this role and the kind of work we do at Seven?
* Tell us about one of your favourite edits — what was your approach, and why do you think it worked?
* (Optional) What do you think makes a great case study video?
Please note: Applications without the short video interview will not be considered. A simple phone or webcam recording is absolutely fine—we’re judging your thinking, not your camera setup.
