Video Editor

We are recruiting a Video Editor to join a fast-growing consumer e-commerce business based in Redditch.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who understands short-form video and knows how to turn raw footage into engaging content that captures attention quickly.

You might already have some professional editing experience, or you may be at an earlier stage in your career with a strong portfolio of personal, freelance, university or self-taught work.

You will join a small and ambitious marketing team where video plays an important part in how the business connects with its audience. The role offers plenty of hands-on creative ownership, variety and the opportunity to see how your work performs across major social media platforms.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Editing short-form video content for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
• Turning raw footage from internal teams and external content creators into engaging, natural-looking videos
• Creating strong openings that quickly capture the viewer’s attention
• Adding captions, text overlays, music, sound effects and platform-appropriate transitions
• Adapting edits, pacing and formats for different social media channels
• Keeping up to date with emerging social media trends, formats and sounds
• Bringing new content and editing ideas to the wider team
• Using AI-supported editing, captioning, clipping and versioning tools where appropriate
• Reviewing video performance and using the results to improve future content
• Supporting filming days, including basic set-up, filming and capturing B-roll
• Maintaining an organised library of raw footage and completed edits
• Producing content to agreed deadlines without compromising attention to detail

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• A portfolio of short-form video content, whether produced professionally, through education, on a freelance basis or independently
• Confidence using at least one video-editing platform, such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve
• A genuine understanding of TikTok, Instagram Reels and other short-form video platforms
• An ability to recognise what makes social content engaging and effective
• An interest in e-commerce, social commerce and the relationship between content and customer engagement
• Curiosity about AI tools and how they can support a faster and more effective editing process
• Good organisation and the ability to work to relatively quick turnaround times
• A positive approach to feedback and an interest in continually developing your skills
• The ability to work from the Redditch office

The quality and relevance of your portfolio will be more important than the number of years you have worked in a similar position.

It Would Be Helpful If You Also Have

• Experience producing TikTok Shop, user-generated or creator-led content
• Motion graphics experience using After Effects or similar software
• Practical filming, lighting or audio experience
• Experience using AI-assisted video, voice or captioning tools
• An interest in consumer brands and digital marketing

These additional skills would be useful but are not essential.

• A salary of up to £28,000 per year, depending on experience
• A full-time, permanent position
• Creative freedom and the opportunity to test different content formats
• Access to current editing and AI-supported content tools
• Direct insight into how published content performs
• A varied, hands-on role within a growing business
• The opportunity to develop as the company and its content requirements continue to grow
