Lead Video Editor

Job description

LEAD VIDEO EDITOR – GLOBAL HIGH-GROWTH ECOMMERCE BRAND

A profitable, founder-led global ecommerce group is hiring a Video Lead to lead and scale its post-production engine across multiple international brands.

Operating at 8–9 figure revenue scale across the US, UK, Europe and APAC, this business produces high volumes of direct-response video creative daily. This role is not just about editing - it’s about building the systems, infrastructure and team that power a world-class performance video machine.

If you’re excited by the idea of designing scalable post-production frameworks, mentoring editors and turning performance data into creative output at serious scale, we'd love to hear from you!

What They Need

• Someone who has built and led high-output post-production teams - hiring, mentoring and performance-managing editors in a fast-moving D2C or performance marketing environment
• A systems-minded operator who can design scalable workflows, asset management structures, naming conventions, review systems and editing SOPs across Meta, TikTok, YouTube and beyond
• A performance-aware creative leader who understands that pacing, hooks, shot selection and CTAs directly impact ROAS, CTR and watch time, and who can train a team accordingly
• Someone confident directing and refining both long-form (VSL) and short-form content, including influencer, UGC, testimonial and paid social ads
• A hands-on editorial expert who remains close enough to the tools to lead by example, refine cuts and elevate the creative bar across all output
• A collaborative partner comfortable working cross-functionally with teams across multiple time zones

What You’re Great At

• Expert-level Adobe Premiere with strong After Effects capability; comfortable operating within structured review environments (e.g. Frame-based systems, shared drives, centralised libraries)
• Turning performance data and A/B test results into improved editing decisions and scalable winning formats
• Designing repeatable “winning ad” frameworks and increasing version count and concept diversity across campaigns
• Coaching editors in platform-native editing styles, hooks, pacing psychology and emerging social storytelling formats
• Managing compliance-sensitive content while balancing speed, volume and creative quality.
• Building centralised digital asset libraries with structured metadata tagging for rapid reuse and iteration

What You’ll Get

• Fully remote working setup (must be UK or EU based)
• Bonus
• A high-performance, data-led culture that values ownership, speed and impact
