ROLE OVERVIEW

Video editors (with Crew Support) are at the forefront of Speed’s production work, helping to deliver multichannel projects and campaigns for clients at a very high standard. It’s a varied role which, while dominated by editing predominately short-to-medium form video content, will also involve crew responsibilities on set and some production support. Experience in shooting / sound recording on set would be helpful but not essential.

The role is based at our Bristol office with flexibility for some home working during the week but there are also regular trips to locations around the UK (and beyond) with overnight stays a standard part of the job.

Members of our production team also get involved with creative brainstorms and client meetings where appropriate.
