Role Overview

This is a fixed-term opportunity of 2–3 months, with an ideal start within the next few weeks. The employer is open to full-time, part-time, or flexible working arrangements. The role is based at the company’s Lewes office overlooking the River Ouse in East Sussex.

Ancient + Brave is looking for a Video Editor and Content Shooter with performance marketing experience to join its in-house creative team. The role is highly practical and suits someone who is confident both filming and editing. You will create video content designed to drive results, including product-led shoots, UGC-style assets, and brand-led storytelling for paid and organic social channels.

You will work alongside the Creative Strategist, Brand team, and Performance Marketing team to help build a scalable and high-quality video production pipeline that supports business growth.

Content Shooting

• Plan and film video assets in multiple formats, including UGC-style clips, product-led pieces, lifestyle content, and brand storytelling.
• Carry out shoots on location, in the studio, and at the Lewes HQ, adjusting your approach to the brief.
• Set up lighting, direct the shoot efficiently, and self-shoot where needed.
• Work comfortably with founders, internal team members, and external on-camera talent.

Video Editing

• Edit short-form video for paid social platforms such as Meta and TikTok, as well as organic channels.
• Handle cutting, subtitling, colour correction, and audio mixing to deliver polished, platform-ready content.
• Create multiple versions of the same shoot to support testing and performance optimisation.
• Deliver a high volume of content quickly while maintaining strong creative quality.

Performance-Led Creative

• Bring a performance mindset to filming and editing decisions, with attention to hooks, pacing, structure, and format.
• Partner with the Creative Strategist to execute briefs and concepts accurately.
• Refine content using performance data and testing insights.
• Use AI tools comfortably to support editing and content production at scale.

Who You Are

The ideal candidate has a strong portfolio of high-quality, native-feeling content for Meta and TikTok, along with strong technical ability in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects or similar tools. You should have proven experience creating and editing short-form content for performance marketing, ideally within D2C, wellness, beauty, or lifestyle brands.

You will need to work independently with little direction, stay organised, move quickly, and remain proactive in a fast-moving creative environment. A strong interest in video craft, performance marketing, platform trends, and purpose-led wellness storytelling will help you succeed in this role.

This opportunity is especially suited to someone who is available at short notice and open to part-time or flexible working.
