 Freelance Video Editor
 
 
 to support our growing short-form content operation on an ongoing retainer basis.
 
 
 
 About The Role
 
 
 
 We produce high-volume short-form social content on Meta, focused on fast-moving, performance-oriented creative.
 
 
 We&rsquo;re looking for someone who understands how to create platform-native content with strong pacing, hooks, retention, and storytelling instincts for social-first environments.
 
 
 This role suits someone who is comfortable working in a collaborative, iterative workflow where creative is regularly tested and refined. We value consistency, responsiveness, and creative judgment over overly polished brand-style editing.
 
 
 Initially, we expect this role to be
 
 
 up to
 
 
 
 
 4 days per week
 
 
 , though this may flex depending on workflow and fit as we establish processes together.
 
 
 You will be working directly with the Head of Creative Strategy and a team of Creative Strategists.
