About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Video Editor with a talent for storytelling and all things digital. Whether it’s a punchy 15-second ad designed to stop the scroll, or a five-minute emotionally driven mini-documentary for YouTube, you know how to shape footage into something that moves people. This role sits in Centr’s in-house creative team; you’re comfortable collaborating and sharing creative ideas on larger projects, or being self-sufficient and owning a project from concept through to final delivery, including sound design, mixing, and colour grading. You bring both the technical depth and the creative instincts to make every cut count.
Responsibilities
- Edit a broad range of video content across digital channels — from short-form paid social ads (:06, :15, :30) to long-form content including mini-documentaries, brand films, and YouTube series.
- Own projects end-to-end, from reviewing raw footage and shaping the narrative arc, through to picture lock, coloring, sound design, and final delivery.
- Devise inventive creative approaches to digital advertising, finding new ways to hook audiences and communicate the Centr brand within tight time constraints.
- Handle all aspects of sound design and audio mixing, ensuring every deliverable sounds as polished as it looks.
- Perform colour grading and finishing to a broadcast-quality standard. Help develop and maintain Centr’s visual style, and drive brand consistency through our video assets.
- Create and integrate motion graphics and basic animation to elevate video content, working collaboratively with the design team or with contracted specialists on more complex executions.
- Adapt and resize content for multiple platforms and placements, ensuring each version is optimised for its format and audience.
- Collaborate with the creative director, producers, and marketing team to understand briefs deeply and deliver work that achieves objectives.
- Help establish and maintain post-production standards, templates, and workflows that keep the team efficient and output consistently high.
- Stay across emerging formats, platform trends, and editing techniques to keep Centr’s video content fresh and competitive.
- Maintain an organised and well-structured asset and project library, ensuring files are archived, accessible, and backed up across the team.
- Mentor and provide creative feedback to junior editors and contractors where required, helping elevate the quality of the wider team’s output.
- Comfortable working independently and taking full ownership of a project, as well as operating as a strong creative collaborator within a broader team.
Experience
- 5+ years of professional video editing experience, with a strong portfolio demonstrating a variety of work across digital channels including paid social, organic content, and long-form video.
- Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and the broader Adobe Creative Cloud suite (After Effects, Audition, Photoshop).
- Proven ability as a storyteller; you can craft a narrative from raw footage that is emotionally engaging, whether the format is a 15-second ad or a 5-minute documentary.
- Hands-on experience with sound design, audio mixing, and colour grading.
- Basic motion graphics capability (After Effects) and a good eye for design; you understand how type, colour, and visual rhythm contribute to overall polish and quality.
