Role Overview
We are looking for a Creative Video Editor to join our team as part of Studios, Client Festivals' Creative Content function.
The Ideal Candidate
You will be a senior creative video generalist with strong storytelling, editing, motion graphics, typography and production skills, capable of independently delivering outstanding creative work within commercial constraints.
You will be a creative video generalist, not a specialist in a single discipline. You’ll enjoy getting hands-on, work efficiently with limited resources, and consistently deliver high-quality creative outcomes. You’ll combine strategic thinking with practical execution and be comfortable taking ownership of projects from start to finish.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have worked within in-house creative studios or internal creative teams at large brands, where balancing creativity, efficiency and commercial realities is essential. Experience within blue-chip, global consumer or large corporate brands would be highly advantageous.
