• Manage and supervise a team of 2–3 video editors, assigning work, reviewing edits and ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met.
• Take ownership of major and high-priority edits while guiding other editors on storytelling, pacing and overall creative execution.
• Maintain consistency in editing style, visual storytelling and production quality across different projects and campaigns.
• Create and integrate motion graphics, typography, compositing and VFX where required.
• Use AI-powered VFX and generative video tools to enhance storytelling, production value and creative possibilities.
• Work closely with the production team to identify any additional shots or sequences required to strengthen the final story.
• Handle footage from professional cinema and mirrorless camera systems and organise post-production workflows efficiently.
• Apply strong sound design, music selection, visual rhythm and colour treatment to create emotionally engaging content.
• Ensure effective file management, project organisation, version control and archiving of production assets.
• Continuously explore new storytelling techniques, cinematic references, AI tools, VFX workflows and editing trends.

• Good understanding of colour grading, sound design, music selection and cinematic pacing.
• Previous experience supervising or mentoring video editors will be preferred.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is not simply a technically strong editor, but a visual storyteller.
