Social Media Manager & Video Editor

Responsibilities

• Editing. Sharp, clean and entertaining.
• The shoot. Set-up, lighting, framing, and directing us on the day. We'll take the direction.
• Ideas. Formats, hooks, trends, collabs. If it'll get us watched, pitch it.
• Publishing. Titles, thumbnails, descriptions, chapters, captions, scheduling and uploads on every platform.
• Platforms. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn to start, plus anywhere else you think we should be.
• Performance. You live in the analytics: retention, click-through, watch time, engagement. You tell us what's working, what isn't and what's next.
• The workflow. Files, calendar, deadlines. Nothing slips.
• Tools. If there's software or kit that would do the job better, tell us. There's budget.
• AI. Used well, it's a great tool. Used badly, it's slop. You'll know the difference.

Requirements

• This is a marketing role first. If it isn't entertaining, nobody watches, and the slickest edit in the world is worth nothing without views.
• You understand YouTube (titles, thumbnails, retention) and short-form (hooks, pacing, trends). Strong on one and keen to learn the rest is fine.
• You can edit properly. Confident in a professional editor such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut. CapCut is fine for shorts, but it can't be the whole toolkit.
• You bring the energy. We're high energy and ambitious, and we move quickly. You'll fit right in.
• You're self-driven and reliable. Deadlines are deadlines. You don't need chasing.
• You'll tell us when we're wrong. On camera, on topics, on titles. Bring opinions and data; honest feedback is how we get better.
• You want to grow. We're growing fast, and the role grows with us.
• You can get to Stansted Mountfitchet. Easy from Bishop's Stortford, Saffron Walden, Harlow and Great Dunmow, and the office is 30 seconds from the station.
