About The Bigger Brand
The Bigger Brand is a growing marketing agency working with ambitious businesses across the UK. We create high-performing campaigns, social content and brand-led video that is designed to actually get watched — not just sit in a Dropbox folder collecting dust.
We’re looking for a talented Video Editor to join our creative team and help us produce high-quality, engaging content across a growing portfolio of clients. This is a predominantly remote role, but you must be based in the UK and able to attend our Manchester office twice a month for team meetings, creative sessions and the occasional discussion about whether that transition was actually necessary.
The Role
As our Video Editor, you’ll take raw footage from our videographers and turn it into polished, engaging content for social media, advertising and wider marketing campaigns. A large proportion of the content we create is short-form, so you need to understand how to grab attention quickly, tell a story and keep people watching.
That means knowing when to cut. And, perhaps more importantly, knowing when not to add another zoom, whoosh or explosion sound effect. You’ll work closely with our videographers, social media managers, graphic designers and wider marketing team to develop content that looks great and performs well.
Key Responsibilities
- Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn
- Edit longer-form brand, testimonial and documentary-style content
- Turn raw footage into polished, engaging final edits
- Create strong opening hooks that capture attention quickly
- Add subtitles, captions, graphics and motion elements
- Use music and sound design effectively
- Colour correct and grade footage where required
- Clean and improve audio
- Work with multi-camera footage when required
- Edit patient and client testimonials
- Create before-and-after treatment content
- Edit educational, FAQ and talking-head videos
- Repurpose longer footage into multiple short-form pieces of content
- Produce creative variations for paid advertising campaigns
- Follow client brand guidelines and maintain consistency
- Organise footage and project files properly
- Work from briefs while also bringing your own creative ideas
- Make amendments based on internal and client feedback
- Manage multiple clients and deadlines at the same time
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.
And yes, occasionally someone will say: “Can we make this more engaging?” Your job is to know what that actually means.
What We’re Looking For
- A strong portfolio or showreel demonstrating commercial video editing
- Excellent understanding of pacing, storytelling and audience retention
- Strong knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro
- Experience with After Effects would be highly beneficial
- Strong understanding of short-form social media content
- Good knowledge of sound design, music selection and audio mixing
- Understanding of colour correction and basic colour grading
- Ability to create engaging subtitles and motion graphics
- Strong attention to detail
- Ability to work quickly without sacrificing quality
- Comfortable working across multiple brands and editing styles
- Able to take creative feedback and implement changes efficiently
- Good organisational and time-management skills
- Comfortable working within a fast-paced agency environment
- Able to work independently as well as collaboratively
- Based in the UK
- Able to travel to Manchester twice a month
- Bonus points if you notice a frame is out of sync before anyone else does.
Desirable Experience
- Previous experience working within a marketing, content or creative agency
- Experience editing content for brands on Instagram and TikTok
- Experience editing Meta advertising creatives
- Experience with healthcare, dental or professional service brands
- Experience editing patient or customer testimonials
- Experience creating documentary-style content
- Strong knowledge of After Effects
- Experience with motion graphics and animated typography
- Understanding of what makes social media content perform well
- Experience editing footage shot in Log or other flat colour profiles
- Experience with AI-powered editing tools and emerging creative technology would also be beneficial. We’re always looking for ways to make the editing process faster without making the end result look like it was made by a robot during its lunch break.

What Good Looks Like
We’re not looking for someone who simply cuts clips together. A strong editor should be able to look at raw footage and recognise the story within it. You should understand:
- Where the hook is
- What can be removed
- What needs more breathing room
- When text will improve the video
- When music adds something
- When silence works better
- How to create emotion through an edit
- How to keep someone watching for the next five seconds
The difference between an average video and a great one is often in the small details. We care about those details.
Salary
£25,000 – £30,000 per annum, depending on experience. We’re open to different levels of experience within this range. Your showreel, editing ability, creative thinking and understanding of social content will matter more to us than simply how many years you’ve been editing.
Working Style
This is a hybrid role. The majority of your editing will be completed remotely, however the team meets approximately twice per month at our Manchester office. These sessions are used for creative workshops, team meetings, campaign planning, training and reviewing content together. You’ll also work closely with our videographers, who regularly shoot content for clients across the UK.
How to Apply
Please send your CV and showreel/portfolio to: contact@thebiggerbrand.co.uk
Your showreel is one of the most important parts of your application. We want to see your strongest work, particularly examples of:
- Short-form social content
- Talking-head edits
- Testimonials
- Brand videos
- Creative commercial content
- Motion graphics, where applicable
And if your showreel starts with a 45-second animated logo intro before we see any actual editing...
We may have already skipped ahead.
