Senior Video Editor
You make the campaign creative that sells the offer: AI-assisted reels, statics and ads that look like the real restaurant, on deadline.
The seat
Our campaigns for UK restaurant groups mix filmed footage with AI-generated video and statics built around a live offer. This role owns that campaign creative: turning a brief, reference images of the venue and an offer into finished reels, statics and ads, on deadline.
What the work actually is
Five things from the last month. Client names removed, nothing else changed.
- 1A campaign for a bottomless brunch needs two statics and three reels by Thursday. The reference images are the venue's wide shots, the tables and the cutlery. Make AI shots that look like that room, not a generic one.
- 2The client asks for the voiceover to sound local, not American. Recut it with the right voice and send it back through review the same day.
- 3A reel is approved for organic, and the paid team wants three hook variants of it for ads. Build them from the same edit.
- 4A generated dish has garnish the kitchen does not use. Catch it before the client does.
- 5Campaign Studio shows six pieces owed this week across four campaigns. Plan your week against the due dates and say early if one is at risk.
The core role
- Produce campaign creative from a brief: AI-assisted reels, statics and ad variants built around the offer and the venue.
- Hit campaign dates: every piece has a due date, and you plan your week against what is owed.
- Keep AI output true to the real venue, dishes and brand, using the reference images and red lines on each client.
What you'll do
- Prompt and edit AI video and imagery that looks like the actual restaurant, not a generic one.
- Cut filmed campaign footage into hook-led reels with the offer landing in the first seconds.
- Build the static and paid variants for each campaign and turn round client changes quickly.
- Work from the Creative Desk in Slate: what is owed per campaign, the due dates and the client's red lines.
How we work
- Remote, paid per finished piece, with a steady volume of campaign work across a dozen clients.
- You sit directly under our Lead Editor, Rafay: you take the most demanding edits and campaign pieces, and help keep the quality bar for the rest of the editing team.
- A weekly editors call with Rafay sets what you are delivering and by when.
- You also work with the Senior Marketing Operations Lead, who owns the campaign briefs.
Inside the setup
- Slate · our own platform (Next.js, Supabase) running scheduling, tasks, client portals, campaigns and finance
- Frame.io for content review, Buffer for publishing, ManyChat for DM automations, Meta Business Suite, Google Workspace, WhatsApp groups with every client
- AI in daily production: Claude and agents across operations, captions, research and campaign builds
- Small senior team: founder, Creative Director, Senior Marketing Operations Lead, lead editor and a freelance editing team
The ideal person
- A portfolio of AI video and campaign work for brands, with the prompts and tools you used.
- Strong fundamentals as a short-form editor: pacing, hooks, captions, sound.
- Reliable on deadlines and honest when one is at risk.
Read this bit twice
We would rather you closed this tab than spent twenty minutes on the form and a fortnight finding out. This seat is not for you if:
- You have not shipped AI video or imagery for a real brand yet.
- You would rather make mood films than creative that sells a specific offer.
- You need a long lead time. Campaign work turns round in days.
