About Elite Competitions

Elite Competitions is one of the UK’s leading prize competition companies, giving people the opportunity to win incredible prizes, from luxury cars and dream homes to life-changing cash amounts.

But there’s much more to Elite than the prizes themselves.

Behind every winner is a story worth telling. Through Elite Contributions, we’re also committed to making a genuine difference to individuals, families and communities across the UK.

The Role

We’re looking for a storyteller.

Someone who understands that great content isn’t just about beautiful camera shots, impressive transitions or expensive equipment. It’s about capturing genuine moments, connecting with people and telling stories that make audiences feel something.

As our Videographer & Video Editor, you’ll play a key role in producing content around two of the most important parts of our business: our Winners and Elite Contributions.

You’ll be responsible for capturing these moments authentically, finding the story behind them and bringing everything together through engaging, high-quality video editing.

Key Responsibilities

Videography & Production

• Film high-quality video content using professional DSLR or mirrorless camera equipment.
• Lead and contribute to shoots involving competition winners, charitable initiatives and other Elite Competitions projects.
• Understand how to frame, light and capture people in a way that feels cinematic without losing authenticity.
• Travel to different locations across the UK for filming opportunities.
• Collaborate with the wider creative team to develop concepts and execute productions.

Video Editing & Storytelling

• Edit compelling, story-driven content using Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Turn raw footage into engaging videos with clear narratives, strong pacing and emotional impact.
• Apply appropriate colour correction, sound mixing, music selection and graphics.
• Manage multiple editing projects while maintaining high creative standards and meeting deadlines.

Creative Development

• Work closely with the Content Lead and wider creative team to continually improve our storytelling.
• Identify opportunities to capture additional content while on location.
• Take initiative throughout the production process, from initial planning through to final delivery.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in videography and video editing, ideally with 3+ years of professional experience.
• Confident operating professional DSLR or mirrorless cameras.
• Proficient in Final Cut Pro and/or Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Strong understanding of composition, lighting, audio and camera operation.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage projects independently.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel for shoots.
