We are working with one of the UK's leading creator-led entertainment brands, looking to hire an experienced Senior Video Editor to join its in-house creative team. This is an opportunity for a highly skilled editor with a genuine passion for storytelling to take ownership of major video projects from raw footage through to final delivery — bringing broadcast-level craft to fast-moving, personality-driven content watched by millions.
The successful candidate will be someone who can look beyond the technical side of editing and understand what makes content genuinely entertaining. You will be expected to shape narratives, maintain sharp pacing and make confident creative decisions that keep audiences hooked from beginning to end, applying the same rigour you'd bring to a TV production to content built for digital platforms. You will work closely with the wider creative and production teams to deliver high-quality, high-impact content for one of the biggest and most engaged young audiences online.
- Edit long-form video content from initial assembly through to final delivery, to a broadcast-quality standard.
- Work closely with producers, creatives and other editors throughout the production process.
- Take ownership of projects and confidently make creative editorial decisions.
- Manage multiple projects and deadlines within a fast-paced content environment.
- Maintain consistently high creative and technical standards across all output, on par with traditional TV production values.
- Provide feedback and support to other members of the editing team where required.
- Stay on top of both entertainment industry editing standards and evolving digital content trends.
Strong professional experience editing long-form entertainment, factual or TV content, ideally with some exposure to digital/online formats. Excellent understanding of storytelling, pacing, structure and audience engagement, with an eye for polish and production value. Strong creative instincts and meticulous attention to detail. The ability to work independently while also collaborating effectively with a wider creative team. A strong showreel or portfolio demonstrating high-quality, TV-standard long-form editing work. Experience within television, broadcast, factual entertainment or high-end production would be strongly beneficial. Previous experience working on content with a strong emphasis on personality, narrative and entertainment value — whether TV or digital — would also be advantageous.
