We're a small team of five with ambitious plans for the future. Everyone has genuine ownership over their work, and every project receives the same level of care, creativity and attention to detail.
We’re now looking for a talented Video Editor to join our team, take ownership of edits and develop with us as we grow.
The Role
We’re looking for a talented Video Editor with a strong creative eye, pride in their work and a desire to keep developing.
You’ll edit a varied mix of branded films, documentaries, podcasts, event films and social content, taking projects from first assembly through to final delivery. Some edits will give you space to shape the story and explore creative ideas; others will call for thoughtful, accurate execution of a clear brief.
As part of our team of five, you’ll have genuine ownership of your edits, working closely with our directors and producers for creative direction and feedback. We value someone who brings ideas, takes initiative and responds positively to feedback.
You'll work closely with our directors and producers throughout the post-production process, helping deliver consistently high-quality work across a diverse range of clients and industries.
There’s room for the role to grow with you, with opportunities to take on more ambitious projects, develop your skills and play an increasingly important part in a fast-growing company.

About You
You have a portfolio that demonstrates a strong sense of pacing, music and visual storytelling. You’re proficient in DaVinci Resolve and have a strong grounding in colour correction, grading and audio editing, with an appetite to develop those skills further.
You’re hardworking, enjoy working independently, take ownership of your edits, quick to flag issues and welcomes feedback.
You'll have excellent attention to detail, communicate well with both colleagues and clients, and remain calm under pressure when deadlines are tight.

Why Join Toy Soldier?
As a small team, everyone has genuine ownership over the work they produce.
You won't be one of dozens of editors passing projects down a production line. You'll be trusted with high-profile client work from day one and have a real influence on the quality and direction of our output.
We're building a company that values creativity, technical excellence and collaboration in equal measure, and we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us over the coming years, and develop into a key creative role within the company.
