About the Role

At WPP Production, this role is crucial because clients expect a single shoot to produce content for every major platform, with each platform having different rules for performance. The role involves turning raw footage into platform-ready content at the volume clients demand, applying platform-specific pacing and formatting, repurposing long-form assets, and maintaining brand consistency across channels.

Responsibilities

  • Edit raw footage into polished, platform-optimized videos for Reels, Shorts, TikToks, YouTube videos, and other social formats.
  • Structure story flow, pacing, and hooks to maximize watch-time and retention within the first 3 seconds.
  • Add captions/subtitles, on-screen text, lower-thirds, and motion graphics as per brand guidelines.
  • Ensure all edits meet platform-specific specs (aspect ratio, resolution, duration, safe zones, file format).
  • Incorporate feedback quickly and manage multiple revisions under tight deadlines.
  • Stay updated on platform trends, algorithm changes, and content formats.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (primary); working knowledge of Adobe After Effects, or CapCut.
  • Strong grasp of motion graphics and typography for social-first storytelling.
  • Familiarity with Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator for thumbnail creation and graphic overlays.
  • Understanding of codecs, frame rates, aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9), and export settings for each platform.
  • Knowledge of colour correction/grading basics.
  • Comfortable with audio editing (noise reduction, levelling, syncing) using tools like Audition or Premiere's audio panel.
  • Creative eye for trends, memes, transitions, and platform-native aesthetics (TikTok-style vs polished YouTube vs. professional LinkedIn).
