Short-Form Editor

Location: Based in or commutable to London. Hybrid, with regular time in person

Reports To: Creative Director / Head of Short Form

The Opportunity

We create ambitious short-form videos that help real people make their dreams happen.

We are looking for an exceptional Short-Form Editor & Social Media Manager to shape our stories in the edit, not just cut them. You will turn raw footage into tight, emotional clips that stop the scroll and keep people watching to the last second. This is a hands-on role for someone with strong instincts for pacing, who brings ideas to the table and keeps up with how social-first storytelling is changing.

Your mission: Turn raw footage into short videos people cannot scroll past, then get them out to the world, growing the community around them

What You Will Own

Edit to a high standard. Take raw footage and craft it into short-form videos with strong pacing, clear structure and real emotional impact, from first cut to final export.
Protect the brand. Keep a consistent editing style that matches the Simon Squibb brand identity and tone in every video
Win the first seconds. Build strong opening hooks and retention beats, so every video earns the viewer's attention and keeps it.
Bring the video to life. Use motion graphics, on-screen text and sound design to maximise viewer engagement.
Think past the footage. Spot the moments that do not exist yet, suggesting pickups, b-roll, graphics or voiceover that make the video land harder.
Bring ideas to the table. Contribute to concept development, test new content formats and spot emerging trends in social-first storytelling.
Strengthen the message. Give feedback on how editing choices can enhance Simon's message, mission and overall brand growth.
Sweat the details. Bring colour, sound mix, on-screen captions and titles to a consistently high, on-brand standard, in the right format for each platform, before anything goes out.
Manage multiple edits. Juggle a high volume of videos at once, hitting deadlines without letting quality slip on any of them.
Champion feedback. Work closely with the team to protect the story intent set before filming, and turn notes into sharper cuts without losing your own creative point of view.
Write captions that land. Write the caption for every video you edit, with a strong opening line, a clear call to action and relevant hashtags, all in Simon’s voice.
Own the posting schedule. Post every video on time and on the right platform, following the content calendar. Nothing goes out late and nothing gets missed.
Build the community. Reply to comments and DMs once a video is live, start conversations, and spot the questions and stories from the audience worth following up on.
Run the automations. Set up and manage ManyChat flows, including keyword triggers, auto-DMs and lead capture, so every interested viewer gets to the right place quickly.
Keep every link working. Manage the link in bio and the links in captions and stories, and keep them up to date so every video points people to the right offer, resource or campaign.
Learn from the numbers. Track how each post performs after it goes live and use what you learn to improve your next edits, captions and posting times.

What Great Looks Like

You are not simply cutting clips together. You are the person who can look at raw footage, find the few seconds that matter, and build them into a video that hits hard in the first second and stays with the viewer after the last. The team should be able to trust that every video looks and sounds like Simon, protects the story, and is ready to post with minimal rework.

How Success Will Be Measured

Videos consistently perform well, with strong watch time and retention.
Every video feels on brand in style, tone and quality.
Edits reach the team polished and ready to post with minimal rework.
Videos are delivered on time, even when the schedule is busy.
New formats, concepts and trends are proactively pitched and tested, without waiting to be asked.
Your feedback on Simon's message and brand growth is trusted and used by the team.
Posts go out on schedule, with captions, links and automations working from the moment they’re live.
Comments and DMs get timely replies, ensuring engagement and community growth on the account trends up.
