Reels Maker

Reports to: Marketing Manager

What this role is about

Yup, we made up the name. But the role is exactly what it sounds like. You'll be editing our reels :)

If you've ever watched a reel and thought, "I could've edited that better", hi, we've been looking for you. We're bringing video editing in-house, and we need someone who can take our raw footage, do magic (aka, the actual work), and create something scroll-stopping. You'll be editing videos across social media and paid ads. Meaning, sometimes polished and high-production, sometimes quick and punchy, but always tells a story.

Sounds like your thing? Keep reading. We could've made a video about this role, if only we had someone to make a fun edit out of it...

What you'll be doing

• Editing social media videos (organic and paid content) quick, engaging cuts optimised for Instagram
• Working across both high-production and lightweight edits, depending on what the content needs
• Pitching edit style options you shouldn't just execute, you should have a point of view on what will work and why
• Handling a high volume of content every month you'll need to be organised, efficient, and able to prioritise

What we're looking for

• Comfortable with lightweight editing tools InShot, Instagram's native editor, or similar for quick social media cuts
• Familiar with AI tools for video editing and genuinely curious about what's coming next in this space
• A strong sense of pacing, rhythm, and visual storytelling
• A solid understanding of the social media and digital marketing landscape what holds retention, and what makes an ad convert
• Efficient and organised you'll be working across multiple videos simultaneously, and deadlines matter
• Able to take feedback and turn revisions around quickly

Good to have

• Prior experience editing content for fitness, lifestyle, or consumer brands

The kind of person we're looking for

• Detail-oriented but not precious you care about quality, but you know when done is better than perfect
• You have opinions. You challenge our opinions. You say, "Here's what I think will work better and why"
• Takes ownership you don't need to be told twice, and you don't need to be chased for deadlines
• Curious about content you watch videos critically, keep up with what's working on social and in ads, and bring that awareness into your edits
• Genuinely interested in fitness and strength training it helps to care about what you're making

Basically, someone who has an eye for great content, and can make it!

P.S. Yes, we made up the title. Yes, we're open to changing it. No, we're not telling you what we almost called it.
