Junior Creative Video Editor

Gran Julia Socials, the social-first agency within Gran Julia Group, is hiring a Junior Creative Video Editor based in Hilversum, North Holland, Netherlands. This role sits within the post-production and content creation workflow, focused entirely on short-form video output across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts for a roster of named consumer brands. It suits an editor who understands social media platform behavior well enough to make real creative decisions, not just cut to a brief.

About the Role

Gran Julia Socials works with brands including Jumbo Play, Corendon, Greetz, GOfun, and MyTutor, producing short-form content that has to perform against platform algorithms and real audience attention spans. As a Junior Creative Video Editor, you work directly with the creative and project management team, taking concepts and raw footage through the full post-production workflow from first assembly to final delivery. No two edits are the same here, with work ranging from trend-driven TikToks to structured social campaign formats.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit short-form video content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, matching each platform’s native format and pacing requirements.
• Manage the full post-production workflow independently, from rough cut through to final deliverable, with accountability for your own deadlines.
• Develop and refine hooks and storytelling structures that hold viewer attention within the first two to three seconds of a video.
• Repurpose existing footage into new variants and snippets that serve different brand contexts or campaign moments.
• Collaborate with creatives to test new edit styles, content formats, and AI-assisted tools within the production process.
• Apply motion graphics and animation work using After Effects to support visual storytelling across social content.

What You Bring

• At least one year of short-form video editing experience, ideally gained at a social media agency or content studio.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, with working knowledge of After Effects.
• A solid understanding of how TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts actually function as platforms, including format expectations and audience behavior.
• A portfolio that demonstrates both editing craft and creative thinking across social content work.
• Fluency in Dutch is required for this role.
• Prior experience on shoot days, with camera equipment, or as a videographer is a genuine plus.

Why This Role

Gran Julia Socials gives editors real creative input on the work, not just execution of locked briefs, which is rare at the junior level. You are working on established brand accounts with real production budgets and visible output, which builds a meaningful portfolio quickly. Compensation is market-rate and determined by experience level.
