We are looking for a video editor who is so good at their craft that they can take shaky, flat, poorly lit, badly paced raw footage and turn it into something that makes people stop, watch, feel something, and share it. We are looking for someone who understands that editing is direction. It's pacing. It's emotion. It's the hook in the first two seconds. It's the music choice that shifts the entire mood. It's the colour grade that makes a product look premium. It's knowing when to cut and — more importantly — when not to. You will be responsible for editing all video content across our brand's digital presence, targeting audiences in the UK, Europe, and North America. You will work across multiple video formats, content styles, and platform requirements — all from our Dubai headquarters. If your edits have ever made someone stop mid-scroll — we want to talk.What You'll Own:Multi-Format Video EditingEdit talking head and interview-style videos — tightening pacing, removing dead air, adding energy, and making the subject compelling even when the delivery wasn't perfect.Edit static/slideshow-style videos — bringing motion, energy, and visual rhythm to still assets, product imagery, and graphic-driven content.Edit dynamic moving footage — product videos, lifestyle content, behind-the-scenes, and campaign films with cinematic quality.Edit short-form content (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) with an obsessive understanding of platform-specific hooks, pacing, and retention patterns.Edit long-form content (YouTube, brand documentaries, educational series) with narrative structure and audience retention in mind.Edit paid ad creatives across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Google — understanding the difference between organic and performance content.Footage Salvage & Problem SolvingTransform suboptimal, imperfect, or difficult raw footage into polished, professional final content — this is not optional, this is the job.Apply AI-assisted upscaling, stabilisation, and noise reduction tools to recover compromised footage.Clean up and repair audio — removing background noise, echo, breath, and inconsistencies using professional audio tools.Use colour correction and grading to fix exposure issues, match inconsistent shots, and elevate the visual quality of raw footage to professional standard.Reframe, crop, and recompose shots creatively to fix framing and composition issues in post.Colour GradingGrade footage to create consistent, on-brand visual language across all content.Match shots within a sequence for colour, exposure, and skin tone consistency.Apply creative grades appropriate to content type — clean and clinical for healthcare content, warm and aspirational for lifestyle, bold and punchy for ads.Sound Design & AudioSelect, edit, and mix background music, sound effects, and voiceovers.Understand music licensing and use royalty-free libraries appropriately (Epidemic Sound, Artist, etc.).Mix audio to broadcast-standard levels for platform delivery.Enhance voiceover and dialogue quality using tools like Adobe Audition or Adobe Podcast AI.Motion Graphics & Visual EnhancementsAdd captions, subtitles, and lower thirds — styled, on-brand, and timed with precision.Create and integrate basic-to-intermediate motion graphics and animated text in After Effects.Add transitions, effects, and visual elements that enhance — not distract from — the content.Build reusable motion graphic templates the team can use for consistent branded content.Trend Awareness & Viral OptimisationStay obsessively current with video trends across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging platforms.Apply trending audio, pacing techniques, and format structures where appropriate to brand content.Understand the anatomy of a viral video — the hook, the loop, the payoff — and engineer it intentionally.Analyse performance data from published content and apply learnings to future edits.Workflow & DeliveryManage your own editing queue, file naming, folder structure, and project organisation with zero prompting.Deliver exports in correct formats, resolutions, and aspect ratios for each platform (1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9).Maintain a clean, organised media library and archive system.Collaborate with the Marketing Manager and Graphic Designer to ensure video content is visually consistent with broader brand identity.The Show Reel We Need to See:Your portfolio is your entire application.
