Work Shift: UK business hours or substantial UK-time overlap

Working Hours: Full-Time, 40 hours/week

Job Description

We are seeking an AI Video Editor to produce high-quality, performance-focused video content for a diverse portfolio of client accounts.

This role combines advanced conventional video editing with practical expertise in generative AI. You will create polished paid-social videos using client assets, existing footage, generated imagery, AI video, animation, motion graphics, sound, and other production techniques.

The ideal candidate can create visually distinctive styles such as claymation-inspired animation, stylized 3D or cinematic content, character-led scenes, and other AI-generated formats while maintaining consistency, realism, brand alignment, and commercial usability.

Speed and first-draft quality are central to this position. We are looking for someone who can understand a brief, make strong production decisions independently, and deliver usable work without requiring numerous rounds of amendments. The successful candidate will also help improve AI-assisted production workflows so the agency can produce more creative variations efficiently.

This is not an entry-level editing role or a position for someone who has only experimented casually with generative AI. Candidates must demonstrate a strong portfolio of finished work combining sound editing fundamentals with sophisticated AI-assisted production.

• Write and refine prompts to achieve specific creative and brand outcomes.

• Ensure that creative supports the message rather than distracting from it.

Post-Production and Finishing

• Complete professional editing, compositing, masking, keying, tracking, motion graphics, and visual effects.

• Export deliverables according to required platform specifications.

High-Volume Production

• Manage several client projects with different brand identities, audiences, and visual styles.
• Prioritize deadlines while maintaining consistent quality.
• Build reusable templates, prompt structures, presets, and production systems where appropriate.
• Produce meaningful creative variations without relying on superficial changes.
• Estimate production requirements accurately and flag potential delays early.
• Maintain responsiveness during urgent campaigns, launches, and revision periods.
