Duties

• Come up with fresh and interesting social-first video ideas that keep our audience engaged, informed and passionate about our brands
• Film multi-camera shoots in our purpose-built studios, across the business and occasionally on location
• Shoot on-the-fly, with a range of cameras (everything from Lumix S5 IIs to drones and iPhones), in a mix of formats
• Edit social and long-form video content in multiple formats for multiple social channels including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook
• Encourage participation from people across the whole business, creating content that shows who we are as a company and what makes us different
• Deliver precise, elegant product photography for our print materials, online ad campaigns and websites
• Create compelling YouTube thumbnails, promotional graphics and other digital assets to boost engagement and conversions across our social channels
• Manage our YouTube Channels and social media platforms in collaboration as part of a friendly, ambitious team of videographers and social specialists
• Work to brand guidelines, reviewing and adjusting these guidelines as the business evolves
• Produce motion graphics and illustrations to a high standard
• Troubleshoot technical problems quickly and efficiently
• Helping out elsewhere in the business as required (for instance, when we have a sudden surge in sales, everyone in the business helps out in the warehouse).

Requirements

• At least 2 years’ experience working as a full-time Videographer / Editor, ideally in an in-house role for a fast-paced e-commerce business.
• High-level knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Audition)
• A social media native, passionate about creating industry-leading social content, with a playful, creative approach to everything you do
• Comfortable working with a team of talented creatives. You work through artistic differences in a constructive, experimental way, moving on when an idea won’t quite fit
• Enthusiastic and positive, willing to pick up whatever needs doing to get the job over the line.
• A confident communicator who can reassure, support and encourage on-screen talent at all levels of experience
• True understanding and experience of how video works on social platforms and how to leverage that knowledge. This is not a role for a 'traditional' stand-alone Editor. You will be working closely with creators.
• A problem solver who can look at technical issues and come up with a workable solution on-the-fly
• Good knowledge of 4k digital cameras, action cameras and drones would be useful.
• Good knowledge of colour / grading processes and audio treatment.
