Junior / Mid Weight Video Editor

 We are seeking a Junior to Mid Weight Video Editor with great Premiere Pro knowledge and After Effects competency to work with our experienced, full service video department. 

what3words has a different creative model. You’ll work collaboratively in a motivated award winning marketing and design studio, reporting to the Video Team Lead. You’ll need to be proactive and enjoy the rapid pace of a tech company that’s creating a global standard for location. 

We create a large variety of projects, from use case films to advertising campaigns, for many countries, and we’re always trying to improve.

Responsibilities: 

• Storytelling edits: Craft compelling video stories for what3words and our partners, to be used in campaigns, sales materials, PR and across social channels.

• Videos will vary in length, aspect ratio and purpose, using footage from in-house teams, partners, stock libraries, and external production companies.

• Motion design: Create eye-catching animations, from dynamic titles and 3D graphics to screen replacements and animating storyboards provided by our Design team.

• Colour correction and grading: Ensure shots from different sources are matched and polished, improving poorly lit footage and maintaining a consistent visual tone across edits.

• Audio skills: Select and integrate music, edit voiceovers, apply audio effects, and mix soundtracks to achieve high-quality audio for every project.

• Project organization: Maintain consistent file management and workflows to ensure projects are accessible and well-structured for team collaboration.

• Collaboration: Work closely with teammates - Video Editors, Designers, Copywriters, Art Directors, Marketing Managers, Traffic Manager and others to deliver exceptional video content that aligns with what3words’ brand and objectives.

Skills: 

• You’ll be a strong storyteller who can transform raw footage into engaging, emotive video content.

• Excellent editing skills with an eye for detail, pacing, and rhythm in both editing and motion graphics.

• A passion for exploring new trends in branded content, especially on social platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

• A collaborative team player who works well with different teams and people across projects.

• Resourceful and quick-thinking, able to bring fresh ideas and adapt to feedback in a fast-paced environment.

• Highly organized, with the ability to work independently, manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines. 

• A willingness to take initiative, learn new skills, and experiment with creative approaches.

Software Knowledge:

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects is essential. Working knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator is a bonus.

• A good understanding of video workflows is also important.

Experience:

• A strong portfolio or showreel showcasing technical ability and storytelling skills. Examples of branded content, particularly for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, are highly desirable.

• While several years of experience as a freelance or in-house video editor is preferred, we equally value passion, curiosity, and a strong willingness to learn. If you bring enthusiasm, creativity, and a genuine interest in video editing and storytelling, we encourage you to apply.

• Additional languages are a bonus but not required.

About us

what3words is revolutionising the way the world talks about location. Street addresses aren’t accurate enough to specify specific entrances, and they don’t exist for parks, rural areas and many parts of the world. This causes frustration, inefficiencies and can be dangerous.

That’s why we created what3words.

We have divided the globe into a grid of 3m x 3m squares, and given each one a unique combination of three words: a what3words address. It’s an easy way to find and share precise locations.

what3words is being used in 193 countries, and our monthly active users continue to grow at an impressive pace. Our tech is used by thousands of emergency services, delivery companies, eCommerce businesses, ride-hailing apps and NGOs, and is integrated into the navigation systems of millions of cars around the world.

Equality, diversity and inclusion at what3words

Our mission is to help everyone talk about everywhere, and we believe diverse perspectives make for a better company and better products too. We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups and are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in our hiring processes and company culture.
