Job Description
Your Role: Junior Video Editor & Shooter, Capital
We're looking for a talented video editor who lives and breathes YouTube to work across Capital's new video formats. You'll understand the difference between a video people watch and a video people can't stop watching. You'll be obsessed with making video content: nailing the hook, building tension and pace, and injecting personality into every edit.
You'll work across Capital's YouTube video formats, from big artist interviews to format-led entertainment series; shaping raw footage into polished, high-performing videos that feel unmistakably Capital.
This is primarily an editing role where you'll also provide support during the shooting and ideation of the content.
