Job Description
This role at Career.zycto offers a unique opportunity for a highly creative and technically proficient Video Editor to significantly impact our digital presence. We are seeking a passionate individual who lives and breathes video, someone who can elevate our storytelling across various platforms, from polished brand productions to engaging, short-form social media content. As our Video Editor, you will be instrumental in conceptualizing, shooting (where applicable), and meticulously editing video content that captivates and converts. Your day-to-day will involve a diverse range of tasks, from crafting narratives for longer-form promotional videos to designing eye-catching animated graphics for Instagram Reels and TikTok.
You will work closely with our marketing and content teams, translating strategic objectives into visually compelling stories. This isn’t just about cutting clips; it’s about understanding the rhythm of a story, the psychology of an audience, and the power of visual communication. We’re looking for someone who can not only execute but also bring fresh ideas to the table, staying ahead of trends in video editing techniques, social media formats, and digital storytelling. From initial rough cuts to final colour grading and sound design, you will be responsible for ensuring every piece of content meets our high standards of quality and brand consistency.
The ideal candidate will possess a strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in editing for various platforms, a keen eye for detail, and a deep understanding of pacing, composition, and visual effects. Experience with motion graphics and animation is a significant plus, as is familiarity with performance metrics for social media content. If you are a proactive self-starter who thrives in a collaborative yet fast-paced environment, eager to shape the visual identity of a growing brand and produce content that truly resonates, then we encourage you to apply. This role is a chance to fuse your artistic talent with strategic marketing goals, making a tangible difference in our outreach and engagement efforts within the vibrant Seacroft community and beyond.
