Video jobs in Sandy

We're looking for a creative, proactive and highly organised Content Creator & Video Editor to join our growing team.

Content is becoming a major part of our growth strategy, with increasing investment in long-form video, podcasts and social media. We're looking for someone who can take raw ideas and footage and turn them into high-quality content across multiple platforms, and take ownership of getting that content all the way from recording to publication.

This is not a role where you'll simply be handed a list of videos to edit. You'll help manage the whole content process: keeping the content calendar moving, editing long and short-form video, repurposing content, writing captions, scheduling posts and making sure content actually gets published.

You'll initially work closely alongside our existing team member to learn our brand, audience and current processes before taking greater ownership while she is on maternity leave.

We're open to both part-time and full-time applicants and are more interested in finding the right person than prescribing a particular working pattern.

What you'll be doing

Video Editing & Content Creation

• Edit short and long-form video and podcast content using Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Turn long-form recordings and podcasts into engaging short-form content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook and LinkedIn.
• Identify strong hooks, stories and moments within longer recordings that can become standalone content.
• Edit short-form content specifically for social platforms, including captions/subtitles, pacing, graphics and other elements where appropriate.
• Create supporting graphics and visual content where required.
• Repurpose existing content into multiple formats to maximise the value of every recording.
• Maintain a consistent visual style, tone and level of quality across our content.

Social Media & Publishing

• Manage the day-to-day delivery of content across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn.
• Own and maintain the content calendar.
• Write and adapt captions and supporting copy for social posts.
• Schedule and publish content across each platform.
• Ensure content is adapted appropriately for each channel rather than simply posting the same thing everywhere.
• Monitor content performance and engagement and use this information to help improve future content.
• Keep up with relevant social trends, formats and platform developments.
• Identify opportunities for new content based on what's performing well.

Content Coordination

• Manage content from idea to recording to edit to approval to publication.
• Proactively chase the Director and other team members for recordings, feedback and approvals.
• Help plan recording sessions and identify what needs to be recorded in advance.
• Maintain an organised library of footage, finished content, imagery and other assets.
• Coordinate content around podcasts, campaigns, launches and other business activity.
• Work with the wider team to understand what's happening across the business and identify opportunities to turn it into useful content.
• Make sure good ideas and recorded content don't disappear into a folder never to be seen again.

About You

We're looking for someone who combines strong video editing skills with creativity, organisation and initiative.

You'll ideally:

• Have strong experience using Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Be confident editing both long-form and short-form video.
• Understand how editing for a long-form YouTube video or podcast differs from editing a Reel, TikTok or Short.
• Have a strong understanding of social media and what makes people stop scrolling and engage.
• Be able to identify the strongest moments within longer content and turn them into compelling standalone clips.
• Have a good eye for pacing, storytelling and visual presentation.
• Be a strong written communicator and comfortable writing social captions.
• Be highly organised and comfortable managing multiple pieces of content simultaneously.
• Be proactive and persistent; if you need something from someone to get your work finished, you'll chase them for it.
• Take ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do next.
• Be a natural finisher who follows things through to publication.
• Have excellent attention to detail.
• Be comfortable working independently while collaborating with the wider team.
• Be interested in learning, experimenting and continually improving our content.

Experience with tools such as OpusClip, Canva or other video/content creation software would be useful but isn't essential.

We're not expecting you to arrive knowing everything about our industry. We're much more interested in someone who is smart, curious and capable of quickly learning what makes our audience tick.

About the Role

This role is being created as we significantly increase our investment in content.

We're preparing to properly launch and grow our podcast and long-form content, while continuing to increase our output across social media.

You'll initially work alongside our existing content team member, giving you time to understand our brand, processes and audience before she begins maternity leave.

During her maternity leave, you'll take greater ownership of the day-to-day content function, including editing, repurposing, scheduling and publishing.

While the immediate requirement is driven partly by maternity cover, we're building our content function for the long term and therefore we expect this to be a permenant and growing role.
