About the Role

To craft high-performance trailers that scale IP, deepen fandom, and spark global attention through world-class storytelling, platform-native editing, and AI-powered creative intelligence. You’ll use performance data to guide creative decisions, AI to accelerate workflows and enhance ideation, and storytelling to convert casual scrollers into lifelong fans.

Responsibilities

• Create a narrative (or script) from the notes that creates a clear and cohesive narrative that also meets the requirements of our Trailer checklist
• Create the sequence, source music, craft the sound design and prepare broll plates for our Animator
• Work with the trailer team for 1%'s, text, ratios
• Create experimental content to test various elements of the trailer
• Own the full post-production process for trailers and teasers, shaping raw footage into bold, platform-first edits that drive retention, engagement, and cultural relevance
• Build smart, emotionally resonant narratives from interviews, soundbites, music, and motion optimised for YouTube, Reels, and TikTok
• Consistently create trailers that drive clear growth metrics across watch-through rate, shares, average view duration, and subscriber lift
• Use performance data to optimise pacing, structure, and creative emphasis
• Collaborate with the Growth and Strategy teams to interpret insights and apply learnings to future edits
• Develop instinct and discipline around which storytelling choices drive performance and back those instincts with evidence
• Actively use tools like Runway, Descript, ElevenLabs, Fathom, Firefly, or in-house AI
• Drive innovation by testing and refining new AI tools, building systems that make the trailer team faster and smarter
• Bring creative direction, references, and smart solutions to brainstorms and edit huddles
• Support junior editors and assistant editors by sharing systems, templates, and AI tools
• Collaborate across creative, social, growth, and commercial teams to deliver trailers that elevate campaigns and IP

• Post-Production: Fluent in the Adobe suite and complimentary

• Thrives in autonomy, executes under pressure, and communicates clearly
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Energised by working with other editors, strategists, social leads, producers, and commercial creatives
• Helps bring everyone into the storytelling process, aligning edit impact with business results
• Think in story and edit in stats — you love crafting emotionally charged edits, but you also obsess over retention graphs and data-informed structures
• See AI as a creative partner — you’re curious, confident, and hands-on with new tools and find smart ways to integrate them into your workflow
• Believe performance is a craft — you get that storytelling and performance aren’t opposites, they’re allies
• Play for the team — you bring positive energy, contribute ideas, and know how to lift others while staying focused on delivery
