We’re hiring: Freelance Video Editor 🎬
Cause & Effect is looking for a Manchester-based Freelance Video Editor to join our growing team on a paid, ongoing freelance basis.
Cause & Effect is an independent platform covering electronic music, club culture, and the people behind it. We create content across a range of formats, from our Pink Sofa artist interviews and long-form conversations to backstage features, event and festival coverage, venue stories, social-first content, and original formats.
As we grow, we’re looking for an editor who can work closely with our team and help us continue developing the visual identity and quality of our content.
What we’re looking for
- Strong experience editing both short-form and long-form content
- Highly confident in DaVinci Resolve
- Strong colour grading and colour correction skills
- Experience with motion graphics, titles, and on-screen graphics
- A strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, and music-led editing
- Comfortable working across different formats, aspect ratios, and platforms
- Excellent organisation of footage, project files, timelines, and media
- Confident handling feedback and revision rounds
- Able to work across multiple projects and deadlines
- Someone who takes initiative rather than simply following an existing template
- An interest in improving editing workflows, project structures, and processes
- Someone who can look at our existing formats and find ways to develop and elevate them creatively
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll be working across everything from artist interviews and documentaries to backstage content, venue features, events, festivals, and fast-paced social edits, so we’re looking for someone versatile who can adapt their editing style depending on the format.
