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.
