• Creating engaging video advertisements for Meta platforms, including variations for creative testing.
• Selecting the strongest footage and refining pacing, transitions, music, text and effects.
• Performing basic colour correction, audio adjustments and footage enhancements.
• Adapting editing styles to suit different client identities and audiences.
• Managing multiple briefs, meeting deadlines and incorporating feedback efficiently.
• Collaborating with our creative team to maintain a consistently high standard of work.

• Demonstrable experience editing short-form social media videos.
• A strong portfolio featuring product videos, fashion, beauty, lifestyle or e-commerce content.
• Proficiency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or similar editing software.
• An understanding of Instagram Reels, TikTok and Meta video advertising formats.
• Excellent attention to detail, including pacing, transitions, typography, sound and colour.
• The ability to create and work with reusable video templates.
• Strong time management skills and the ability to produce quality work consistently.
• The ability to follow creative briefs accurately and respond constructively to feedback.
• Reliable communication and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.

Experience creating performance-focused advertising videos is a significant advantage.

We're not particularly interested in how many editing effects you know.

We care about the quality of your work.

Can you make ordinary product footage look compelling?

Can you recognise a strong opening shot?

Can you create videos that feel premium without making them unnecessarily complicated?

And importantly, can you deliver consistently without needing someone to supervise every edit?

If so, we'd love to see your work.

• A fully remote, full-time position.
• The opportunity to work across multiple brands and industries.
• Clear creative briefs, organised assets and established brand guidelines.
• A collaborative environment where good ideas are welcomed.
• The opportunity to help shape Alma Ruse's video production standards and creative direction.
• Room to grow as our agency expands.
