About Us
The Centre for International Security and Economic Strategy (CISES) is an independent, London-based think tank dedicated to examining the complex intersection of global security, geopolitics, and economic policy.
In an era of rapid shifts in the international order, CISES delivers rigorous, evidence-based insight into global risk, regional crises, and emerging strategic challenges. By bridging the gap between rigorous academic analysis and practical policy debate, we empower policymakers, researchers, and the public with the tools needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected world.
The Role(s)
We are looking for four (4) part-time Video Editors to support our work at CISES. These are fully remote and volunteer positions responsible for the following tasks:
- Editing of long-form CISES video content from raw footage through to a polished, publication-ready final product
- Responsibility for the post-production workflow for CISES video content, through helping establish an efficient and repeatable process for receiving footage, editing, reviewing, and preparing material for publication
- Production of content to a consistent publishing schedule, with our initial targets of approximately one long-form video per week
- Incorporation of appropriate visual storytelling, including charts, maps, and graphics, into our video content with the assistance of our Visual Designer
- Development and maintenance of a visual style for CISES content
- Collaboration with CISES's policy and digital teams to identify opportunities to turn existing interviews, research, and high-performing short-form material into more substantive video content
- Working as part of a dedicated video editing/production team, with these roles expected to contribute to the wider development of CISES's video-production capability
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
