Short-Form Video Editor | UK hours

Remote, South Africa

Our client in the UK is looking for a Short-Form Video Editor to turn raw footage into scroll-stopping short-form content that sounds and feels like the client. You will take long-form footage (typically clips of around two hours) and cut it into punchy, on-brand videos that land UK humour, pacing and hooks first time, so the London team spends its time on ideas rather than rounds of feedback.

Key responsibilities

Review long-form footage and pull out the strongest moments, reactions and hooks for short-form content.

Edit high volumes of vertical video for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, to agreed daily or weekly output targets.

Write and time on-screen captions, text overlays, hooks and calls to action that match the tone and UK audience.

Apply sound, music, trending audio, pacing and transitions that suit each platform and format.

Produce multiple variations of a concept (different hooks, CTAs or cuts) for testing.

Self-check every video against the brief and brand guidelines before submission, cutting down QC and revision cycles.

Turn feedback around quickly within the same working day where possible.

Keep footage, project files and exports organised in...
