Video Editor (Global - Remote) in London

Bring some of the internet’s best B2B podcasts to life! Work on amazing and varied shows, with a kind and supportive global team. Lower Street is a podcasting company that works with agencies, consultants, and enterprise companies to make truly excellent shows. Shows that matter, that make an impact. We're focused on two things: making the best podcasts we possibly can, and continually learning and improving on what we do - both individually and as a team. From concept to distribution, we help clients to develop their ideas into fully fledged podcasts.

What’s the gig? We’re looking for a video editor to join our production team, and work closely with folks like Alex (Head of Post Production), and our amazing team of producers. In this role you’ll be taking rough cuts from producers, and turning them into highly polished edits. This means finessing edits, colour correction, making graphics such as lower-thirds and transitions, and helping develop a show’s visual style. To be clear, your role will not just be to switch cameras or adjust cuts. It will be to elevate already great content into something truly special. And you won't be doing this alone - we have a collaborative and supportive team of sound designers, who work alongside a team of excellent producers, and we all share one goal: to make the best possible podcasts.

Things you’ll do:

• Edit a range of interview, narrative, solo, and fictional podcasts - working from a rough cut and/or brief.
• Create short-form edits for social media, and audiograms.
• Take rough cuts from Descript, and turn them into polished episodes in Premiere Pro and After Effects.
• Sourcing b-roll, doing correction/grading, making motion graphics, developing visual assets, and anything else required to bring the best version of the content to life.
• Coordinate and take ownership of video, session, and any other files needed to get the episode done.
• Make great use of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Frame, and any other tools required to get the job done.

Who exactly are we looking for? In short, does this sound like you? Someone that is:

• Creative: You are able to foster and maintain the creative vision of the podcasts at Lower Street, and create work that exceeds client expectations.
• Detail-oriented: You care about the little things, and love to talk about your process with your peers.
• Proactive: You are able to take ownership of tasks, deadlines, briefs, and work efficiently with the team to get things done to deadline, every time.
• Communicative: You have excellent written and verbal communication and excel in collaboration with teammates and our hosts.
• Adaptable: You thrive when you need to find solutions, make adjustments, and receive feedback.

For this role, you ideally have:

• Extensive experience editing videos for YouTube, and editing podcasts.
• A great eye, with the ability to finish and polish your own work.
• A desire to grow and learn from other video editors, and work with highly skilled producers.
• The ability to work to deadlines so that shows never miss schedule.
• A critical eye and a close attention to detail.
• Excellent communication skills.

Why us:

• Work from anywhere: Your house in the country, a home studio, a yurt in the forest -- we don’t mind. As long as you have a good editing environment, and strong enough wifi.
• Truly great work culture: We’re a young and small, but established company -- you can make a real impact, and we’re not in the business of micromanagement.
• Flexible Hours: Outside of ideally having some working overlap with UK working hours, we have a globally distributed, asynchronous team.
• Generous PTO, sick leave, and public holiday policy: Just throw us some notice and share where you go on holiday!
• Equipment Budget: Headphones, monitors, software, whatever you need to be set up for success.
• Professional Development Allowance: Courses, conference tickets, books -- we’re invested in you.
• Planned team retreats in really fun spots: At least once per year, we get together in cool places to collaborate and celebrate in person.

Please sneak the word ‘Lime’ somewhere into your application to show us you read the whole job description. We can’t wait to meet you!
