Description
Experience Level: Expert
Company Description: We're a thriving podcast production company based in the vibrant Shoreditch area of London, a 5 minute walk away from Liverpool Street Station. Our state-of-the-art studio spaces serve as a creative hub for podcasters to bring their ideas to life. Our team is passionate about creating top-notch podcast content and helping businesses succeed through effective podcast marketing. We're seeking a versatile individual to join our team as a Junior Studio Assistant and Video Engineer, who will play a pivotal role in ensuring smooth studio operations and supporting the delivery of high-quality video content for our podcast clients.
We're just expanded! And after the successful launch of our first location in July 2024, we're expanding to a second location 3 minutes around the corner with 4 brand new studios, a make-up/changing area and lots more. A true hub for podcast creators, and with that, we're looking to grow the team to help with that expansion.
We are looking for an experienced Freelance Video Editor to support our growing podcast and video production output. This role is primarily focused on long-form podcast video edits, working closely with our production manager and wider Podshop team to deliver high-quality content under strict turnaround times.
This is a contracted position with a minimum commitment of 40 hours per month, with workloads expected to increase over time — likely exceeding 100+ hours per month as we scale. We are also planning to open an additional studio later in the year, creating further opportunities for ongoing work.
Key Responsibilities
Video Editing & Post-Production
- Edit primarily long-form podcast video content to a high standard.
- Deliver clean, consistent edits that align with brand and client expectations.
- Apply efficient workflows to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.
- Minimal audio work required, as audio post-production is handled by a separate team.
Turnaround & Workflow
- Deliver first draft edits within 72 hours of recording.
- Complete client amendments within 48 hours of receiving feedback.
- Manage multiple projects concurrently while maintaining deadlines.
Collaboration & Communication
- Work closely with the Production Manager and Podshop team on a day-to-day basis.
- Occasionally liaise directly with clients when required.
- Maintain clear communication around progress, delivery times, and any issues.
Working Hours & Availability
- Majority of work falls Monday to Friday, though occasional weekend work may be required.
- Flexible working hours — editors can work at times that suit them (e.g. starting later in the day), provided deadlines are met.
- This role is fully remote.
Required Experience, Skills & Equipment
- Strong, demonstrable experience in professional video editing.
- Solid understanding of podcast editing workflows.
- High level of efficiency, speed, and attention to detail.
- Confident working under strict turnaround times.
Equipment & Technical Requirements
- Adobe Premiere Pro (essential).
- High-spec editing PC capable of handling up to 6 channels of 4K video.
- High-speed internet connection — minimum 1GB/s upload and download for large file transfers.
Location Requirements
- Ideally based in the UK, or within a similar timezone.
- Timezone flexibility of ±2 hours from BST is acceptable.
Test Edit & Start Date
- Shortlisted candidates will be required to complete a paid test edit.
- The test edit will be paid at the advertised hourly rate, whether successful or not.
- The edit will not be an active client project (it will be an episode already approved by a client).
- For successful candidates, we are looking for an immediate start.
Pay & Contract Details
Rate: £20–£30 per hour, depending on experience
Contract Type: Freelance / Contractor
Hours: Minimum 40 hours per month, with workload expected to grow to 100+ hours per month over time
Rates for the paid test edit will be aligned with the same hourly rate band.
Although this is a contractor role, UK-based freelancers are invited to our annual Christmas party, bringing the wider UK team together in person.
