Senior Video Editor

We’re looking for a Senior Editor to join Knock Knock. Someone with strong creative instincts, sharp judgement and a meticulous approach to the craft.

You’ll work across a broad mix of projects, from social and digital content to documentary and brand storytelling, shaping films that are both visually considered and emotionally engaging.

We’re an employee-owned creative production studio working with a global roster of clients, including Ralph Lauren, Burberry, Three Mobile and Virgin. We care deeply about the work we make and the way we make it.

Our office is based in Southwark, and this is a fully office-based role, requiring you to be on-site full-time. We often have clients attend edits so experience of this is a must. We regularly deliver international projects with editors embedded on location, so there may be opportunities for overseas travel. At times, you’ll also need to support deliveries outside of standard working hours, including evenings and occasional weekends, depending on project demands and time zones.
