About The Role

We’re looking for a Video Editor to support our production team for an eight-week contract.

You’ll be editing film projects for all types of media, from short-format social media content to longer-format advertising and product videos.

• Contribute with creative ideas for content, storytelling, and formats
• Develop content using our ever-growing library of footage
• Work with our Edinburgh-based editor to keep the video servers organized

Essential Qualifications:

• You will have a minimum of 5 years editing experience, working either in-house or at an agency or production company, and be able to share examples of your work
• You have worked with food/cooking videos
• You will be a great storyteller through video
• In-depth knowledge and understanding of editing & motion graphics software — including Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
• Knowledge of the filming processes and camera specifications
• Understanding of lighting on studio and location shoots
• Have an eye for detail and proven ability to independently manage projects
• A love of Pizza/Cooking/Food

We are passionate about creating a diverse team and work hard to ensure a supportive and inclusive culture is embedded. We believe that a respected and valued workplace can attract talent, spur innovation and drive ambition. We aim to ensure that every potential team member has access to the same opportunities and fair treatment and that everyone feels valued.
