About Us

Signal Shift is a uniquely positioned video production company that focuses on remote-capture, interview-led videos for service based businesses.

We specialise in authentic, human stories that drive action - whether that’s helping a prospective client say yes, or encouraging someone to apply for a job.

Our production approach and highly focused video use-cases, favours authentic interview-driven storytelling over cinematic polish.

We create 3x specific types of videos:

Customer testimonials / case studies (for marketing campaigns & sales enablement)

Employee career stories (to support recruitment campaigns)

Employee experience stories (for internal communications around company activities, initiatives, goals etc)

We are very pro AI and use a number of tools both for story-editing guides, as well as generating supplementary images, videos and graphics.

The Role

We’re looking for freelance video editors who are exceptional at storytelling, to help us craft impactful videos for our clients.

You’ll take long-form interview footage and transform it into clear, engaging, and impactful narratives that align with a pre-defined story structure.

Key Responsibilities

All of the videos we create are between 3-5 minutes in length. Most feature 1x person, however some may feature up to 3x people.

As a Signal Shift Video Editor you’ll be responsible for:

Editing long-form interviews and crafting compelling narratives, matching pre-defined story structures
Reviewing and actioning client feedback
Adding branded subtitles to videos (in English)
Incorporating client branding (where relevant)
Collaborating with our internal team (you won’t be required to interact directly with clients)

Our Process (How You’ll Work)

All video content we produce is recorded remotely through a platform called Riverside.

We then run all interviews through AI, asking it to analyse the transcript and make suggestions on a rough story, based on our pre-defined video structure.

When working on a client project with us, you’ll receive:

Between 1-3 unedited synced video files for each interviewee (no multiple angles)
Cleaned up audio files for each interviewee
Interview transcripts for each interviewee
An AI-suggested story document
Pre-defined video structure document (these are flexible guidelines on how we approach each of the video types we create)
Client brand assets

For gathering and actioning client feedback we use a platform called Wipster, which allows you to tick-off items as you go.

For day to day communication with the Signal Shift team we use Slack.
