Short From Video Editor Wanted: To Help Us Create Scroll-Stopping Ads That Get Real Results.

£32,000-£36,000 + performance bonuses.

Office-based with the option for hybrid (Musselburgh, East Lothian).

Full-time.

We’re a fast-growing performance marketing agency that specialises in lead generation for home improvement businesses, and we do things differently. No fluff, no filler. Just content that drives results.

Right now, we’re looking for a Full-Time Video Editor to join our in-house team. Someone who knows how to move fast, stay sharp, and create content that makes people stop scrolling and start clicking.

Who We Are

We work with kitchen companies, bathroom brands, loft boarding firms, high-end manufacturers and other home improvement businesses across the UK.

Our job? To create video-first ad campaigns that bring in quality leads – and we’re growing fast. Our goal is to scale to 100 active clients by the end of 2025, and we’re building the dream team to help make that happen.

What You 'll Be Doing

  • Editing highly engaging short-form content style ads using professionally filmed footage from our videographers.
  • Capturing attention quickly, holding it with smart pacing and structure, and converting viewers through effective editing techniques.
  • Working closely with our marketing team and videographers to test and improve performance of specific ad frameworks.
  • Creating variations of videos based on what’s working (and what’s not) to increase the volume of leads for clients and reduce cost.
  • Managing your own workload and deadlines, no hand-holding here.

What We 're Looking For

  • Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects skills a bonus)
  • Strong understanding of how to capture, retain, and convert viewer attention through editing.
  • Able to balance quality with speed, you need to move quickly.
  • Understanding of what makes a video ad perform (or a willingness to learn quickly).
  • Self-motivated, reliable, and comfortable working in a results-driven environment.

What It 's Like to Work Here

We don’t believe in micromanagement. We believe in hiring talented people and giving them the tools, trust and support to do their best work.

We take pride in what we create. But we also know performance matters, which means we work fast, test often, and always aim to improve. If something’s not working, we don’t sugar-coat it. We fix it.

This role is perfect for someone who’s ready to step into a fast-paced environment where execution, accountability and impact are everything.

What You 'll Get

  • £32,000-£36,000 salary (depending on experience).
  • Performance bonuses tied to real results.
  • Clear progression and development opportunities as the company grows.
  • A driven, supportive team culture that values collaboration and honesty.

Our Values (These Actually Matter Here)

Reputation & Headspace Over Profit

We play the long game. We won’t sacrifice our integrity, our team’s headspace, or our client relationships for a quick win. Everything we do is built to last – and that starts with doing things right.

Impact

We’re not just here to make videos. We’re here to drive real, measurable results. For our clients. For ourselves. For the team. If it doesn’t move the needle, we don’t waste time on it.

No Bullshit

We say it like it is – with honesty and respect. No fluff, no excuses, no sugar-coating. Everyone owns their time, their workload, and their outcomes. Accountability is the standard.

Always 5 Steps Ahead

We move fast and think faster. If something’s working today, great – but we’re already thinking about what’s next. Innovation isn’t a nice-to-have here. It’s how we stay on top.

Mighty Ducks

We win together. No lone wolves, no egos. Just a team of people who back each other up, row in the same direction, and make it fun along the way.

Success Loves Speed

Speed matters. Fast decisions, fast execution, fast feedback. It’s how we scale, how we outperform competitors, and how we keep clients winning.

Sweat The Small Stuff

Details matter. We don’t cut corners, we double-check everything, and we take pride in producing high-quality work – every time. Excellence is in the execution.
