Assistant editor / videographer

ProductionBase is hiring an assistant editor and videographer based in Leeds, England. Working across the company’s in-house content operation, this role sits within the post-production workflow and covers everything from shooting to picture finish across a portfolio of branded video projects. It suits a camera-confident editor who is equally at home pulling focus on a shoot day as they are building a sequence in the edit suite.

About the Role

This is an in-house position embedded within ProductionBase’s creative team, producing video content across their family of brands rather than on a single production or episodic television slate. Day to day, the work moves between shooting original footage and editing it through to delivery, with a strong emphasis on narrative structure and editorial craft. The person in this role is expected to carry projects from brief to final output with a degree of autonomy.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate camera and manage on-location shoots, covering lighting setups, sound capture, and directing contributors to camera.
• Assemble and refine edits across multiple projects simultaneously, managing media ingest, sequence organisation, and version control within the post-production workflow.
• Shape storytelling structure at the assembly and rough cut stages, making editorial decisions that serve the narrative goals of each piece.
• Deliver finished video content to platform-specific technical specifications, including colour grading and audio mix to broadcast or digital standards.
• Manage project assets and archive media in an organised, retrievable format that supports a multi-brand content pipeline.
• Contribute to pre-production planning, including shot listing, scripting support, and scheduling shoot days around post deadlines.

What You Bring

• Demonstrable experience as an assistant editor or videographer across branded content, corporate video production, or short-form digital projects.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or a comparable NLE, with working knowledge of After Effects or DaVinci Resolve considered a strong advantage.
• Hands-on experience operating mirrorless or cinema camera systems, with a sound understanding of exposure, composition, and location audio.
• A portfolio that shows editorial judgement and the ability to construct a clear, engaging narrative from raw footage.
• Comfort working across multiple concurrent projects with shifting priorities and minimal supervision.
