Senior Video Editor (TV / YouTube)
Location: London – Hybrid
Working Pattern: 2 days in the office / 3 days working from home
Salary: £45,000 – £55,000
The Opportunity
We are working with one of the UK's leading creator-led entertainment brands, looking to hire an experienced Senior Video Editor to join its in-house creative team.
This is an opportunity for a highly skilled editor with a genuine passion for storytelling to take ownership of major video projects from raw footage through to final delivery — bringing broadcast-level craft to fast-moving, personality-driven content watched by millions.
The successful candidate will be someone who can look beyond the technical side of editing and understand what makes content genuinely entertaining. You will be expected to shape narratives, maintain sharp pacing and make confident creative decisions that keep audiences hooked from beginning to end, applying the same rigour you'd bring to a TV production to content built for digital platforms.
You will work closely with the wider creative and production teams to deliver high-quality, high-impact content for one of the biggest and most engaged young audiences online.
