Job description

Role overview

This contract opportunity is for a freelance video editor supporting a team that creates educational video content for dog trainers and handlers. The work is centered on polishing a range of assets, from short promotional pieces and social media edits to longer lectures and workshop recordings. The position is mainly remote, with a preference for candidates located in or close to Manchester to allow for easier collaboration as the business expands.

What you will work on

Edit and combine instructional videos, lectures, workshops, and promotional assets for web and social channels.
Keep every edit aligned with the established brand look and maintain a polished, audience-friendly finish.
Blend in B-roll, graphics, and audio where needed to make the content clearer and more engaging.
Work with the team on revisions and use feedback to improve the quality of future edits.
Export final files in the correct formats for the intended distribution platforms.

What the role involves

You will be handling footage from a mix of sources, including Canon EOS R cameras, DJI drones, and iPhones, often supported by well-organized B-roll. A strong understanding of editing rhythm, retention, and viewer engagement will help you succeed in this position. Experience with AI-assisted editing tools is considered valuable, and a background in educational or documentary-style editing is especially useful for longer-form projects. An interest in dogs or animal training is a nice bonus.

Requirements

Hands-on experience with professional editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
Prior work on educational, documentary, or other long-form video content.
A good eye for pacing, story flow, and audience retention.
Comfort editing footage from several camera types and making effective use of B-roll.
Careful attention to detail and the ability to follow an established brand style.
Familiarity with AI-based editing tools is an advantage.
Strong communication skills and a willingness to act on feedback.
Ability to work on your own and deliver on deadlines.
Interest in dogs or animal training is beneficial.
Remote-first setup, with preference for applicants near Manchester for possible in-person collaboration.
