Social Media Video Editor - Daily Content for Food Brand

**Project description:**

We are a UK start-up food brand launching a range of flavour-packed whole-food products across retail and online. We are looking to build an active and engaged social media presence across TikTok, Instagram and Facebook from the ground up and are looking for a talented video editor to be a key part of that growth from day one.

We are not sharing the brand name at this stage — shortlisted candidates will receive full brand details, guidelines and briefing materials before work commences.

**The opportunity:**

This is not just an editing role. We are looking for someone who understands how to build a following on short-form video platforms — someone who knows what makes content stop the scroll, what formats are gaining traction right now and how to grow an audience from a standing start. If you have helped a brand grow its social presence and can demonstrate that with real examples we want to hear from you.

**What we will provide:**

We will supply raw video footage of our products, recipes, serving suggestions and behind-the-scenes content. Footage will be provided one week in advance so you have sufficient time to plan, edit and schedule content without working under daily pressure. You will receive this footage and turn it into polished, platform-ready short-form videos ready for posting.

**What we need you to do:**

Edit raw footage into short-form social media videos optimised for TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook. We require one finished video posted to each of the three platforms every day — three posts per day in total.

Each video should be formatted correctly for the specific platform including aspect ratio, length and technical specifications.

Write or suggest caption copy, hashtags and messaging to accompany each video — warm, bold, joyful and food-focused in tone.

Add text overlays, captions, music or sound effects where appropriate to maximise engagement and reach on each platform.

Stay current with platform trends and formats and actively suggest content approaches that will help grow our following.

Deliver each finished video in the correct format for each platform — ready to post with no further editing required.

**Content themes will include:**

Serving suggestions and recipe ideas showing the product being used on real dishes

Product showcases highlighting individual variants in the range

Behind the scenes content — the story of the brand and the people behind it

Lifestyle and occasion content across breakfast, brunch, lunch, supper and snacking

Trend-led content that fits the brand voice and leverages current platform formats

**What we are looking for:**

Proven experience editing short-form social media video content for food, lifestyle or consumer brands

Demonstrable experience growing a social media following — please show us accounts you have contributed to and the results

A strong portfolio showing TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook video work — please include specific examples of food or lifestyle brand content with live links where possible

Deep understanding of what performs well on each platform — trends, formats, pacing, hooks and the algorithm

Ability to write engaging short-form caption copy and hashtag strategy in a warm and accessible brand voice

Reliable and consistent — we need three posts per day every day and one week of content planned at a time

**Volume and commitment:**

This is an ongoing daily requirement — growing to one post per day to each of TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, seven days a week. Raw footage will be provided one week in advance allowing content to be planned and prepared in batches rather than day by day. We are looking for someone who can commit to a regular ongoing working relationship and grow with the brand.

**Pricing:**

We will provide one set of raw video footage for each days content. Please quote your rate to take that single set of footage and produce finished edited videos formatted and ready to post across all three platforms — TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook for 10 days content (10 TikTok + 10 Instagram +10 FB)

**To apply please share:**

Examples of short-form social media video content you have edited for food or lifestyle brands — please include live links to TikTok, Instagram or Facebook content where possible

Evidence of audience growth on accounts you have worked on — follower numbers, engagement rates or other relevant metrics

Your rate to take video content and create post variations for all 3 platforms

Your typical turnaround time from receiving raw footage to delivering finished edits

Any examples of caption writing or hashtag strategy work
