Video Editor

About the Role

Tracksuit seeks a skilled Video Editor who is passionate about creating emotionally engaging and attention-grabbing short videos rather than typical corporate content. The position demands an editor who thrives on crafting concise, impactful stories that align with Tracksuit's unique brand voice, spanning across various social media platforms. This role is ideal for those who understand the nuances of editing techniques, storytelling arcs, and pacing to keep creative momentum alive.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce video content tailored natively for platforms like TikTok, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, rather than adapting repurposed videos.
• Transform diverse raw footage—including iPhone clips, professional shoots, B-roll, podcast segments, and animations—into captivating, scroll-stopping clips suitable for both organic and paid social media campaigns.
• Consistently deliver weekly video cut-downs and contribute original ideas to the creative process alongside the marketing team.
• Manage and preserve video and photo assets efficiently for future reuse.
• Maintain full creative ownership over the editing process, including structure, music, pacing, and animations, ensuring the final product meets high-quality standards.

Candidate Profile

• Demonstrated expertise in video editing, production, and post-production using modern tools and workflows.
• Fluency with industry terminology and technical knowledge such as codecs, camera formats, and audio specifications.
• Strong understanding of social media platform dynamics—retention, session times, clip theory—and audience engagement strategies.
• Ability to design compelling video thumbnails or effectively collaborate with designers for visual assets.
• Proficiency in writing video titles, descriptions, captions, and occasional voiceover scripts to enhance viewer engagement.
• An open mindset towards integrating AI and contemporary editing tools that enhance quality without compromising creativity.
• Avid interest in internet culture, emerging trends, and maintaining strong editorial standards suited to brand identity.
• Passionate storyteller with a creative flow in fast-paced production environments and a keen instinct for emotional and comedic timing.
