Video jobs in Penryn

The Company

Lifeblood is an eCommerce growth and creative studio in Cornwall; we're on a mission to build the UK's most effective team and system for profitably growing DTC brands.

The Role

We're looking for a Short Form Video Editor to turn footage into social-first video ads that our clients run across paid and organic social, mainly TikTok and Meta.

Most of your week will be in Premiere Pro. You don't need years behind you. What we're after is someone with a decent foundation, a keen eye for a good edit and the appetite to get better quickly. You'll work directly with the Head of Creative Studio, and day to day you'll be alongside our videographer, the strategists and the paid media team.

Deliverables

• Edit paid social video ads in Premiere Pro. That means cutting UGC, product and brand footage into 15-second to 1-minute ads that hold attention and suit the channel: strong hooks, tight pacing, captions, music and sound effects
• Turn one concept into many edits. Different hooks, lengths and formats (9:16, 1:1, 4:5) so the paid team has plenty to test
• Use AI video and image tools (Higgsfield, Seedance, Kling, Veo, Midjourney) where they help: generating b-roll, product imagery or shots we couldn't film, then editing and finishing it so it's fit for a client
• Take performance feedback (thumb-stop rate, hold rate, click-through rate) and turn it into new versions and hooks without much fuss
• Check your work before it goes out: captions, spelling and brand standards all spot on
• Keep a swipe file of video ads that inspire you and bring fresh ideas to the team
• Help out on the odd longer or internal edit, like YouTube content
• Keep project files, exports and naming tidy so everyone can find what they need
• Learn new tools as we take them on. We adopt things quickly here.

What we're looking for

• A showreel or portfolio with some editing in it. Student work, freelance or personal projects are all fine.
• Good taste: you can tell when an edit feels right and when it doesn't, and you notice great video everywhere, not just in ads
• Solid Premiere Pro skills and a feel for pacing, hooks and what keeps people watching
• An eye for type, pacing and composition
• Comfortable working to brand guidelines across different clients
• Organised: you hit deadlines and don't lose files
• Open to feedback and keen to improve
• Interested in social content and curious about why some ads work and others don't
• Some knowledge of AI video and image tools (Higgsfield, Seedance, Kling, Veo, Midjourney or similar), or a real keenness to learn them fast

Nice to have

• Some After Effects for simple motion: animated type, product callouts and end cards
• Colour grading or basic colour correction
• Experience with Meta or TikTok ad formats
• DaVinci Resolve or CapCut alongside Premiere
• Some camera experience, or you're happy to help out on shoots
• A knack for writing hooks, captions and on-screen copy
• An understanding of how organic and paid social video differ
• An understanding of e-commerce and DTC brands, even just as a customer

What you'll get

• Mentoring from an experienced creative lead
• Real client work from week one, across a range of DTC brands
• Room to grow into a mid-weight editor role
• £26,000-£28,000 per annum
• Company pension and private medical insurance (top plan from Vitality Health)
• 25 days annual leave + all UK bank holidays
