• Enhance videos with music, graphics, subtitles, visual effects, and other editorial touches when they add value.
• Partner with the Content Manager to review edits, apply feedback, and steadily improve output.
• Handle several projects at once while keeping to upload plans and deadlines.
• Work alongside researchers, publishers, and the wider content team to present the strongest clips in the most effective way.
• Bring forward creative suggestions that improve video quality and help boost viewer engagement.
• Keep up with internet culture, viral trends, and new content styles.

What we are looking for

The ideal candidate should already have hands-on experience with Adobe Premiere Pro and a genuine enthusiasm for video editing and digital media. An interest in viral content, internet communities, and online culture would be an added advantage.
