About WeBuyVintage
WeBuyVintage is one of the UK’s largest buyers of jewellery, antiques and collectibles. We run more roadshows than any other UK company - over 250 valuation events every month - bringing trusted experts face-to-face with customers across the country.
In three years, we’ve grown from a pub-table idea into an eight-figure business, with a headcount thats grown from 30-100 in the last 2 years, we’re on a mission to make WeBuyVintage a brand everyone recognises.
The Role
As we continue to scale, we’re looking to dramatically increase our volume of content across our social media and digital channels, and we’re looking for a talented video editor to help us turn our growing library of raw footage into engaging, on-brand content.
This is a high-volume, fast-paced editing role and we're looking for someone who is creative, trend-savvy and efficient - who can take an idea or a folder of raw footage and quickly turn it into something people want to watch.
The majority of your work will be short-form social video, primarily for Instagram and Facebook, as well as TikTok in the near future. Some longer-form content and editing will also be required as we capture more educational content for YouTube and various digital marketing channels.
You’ll be working closely with our Social & Content Lead who will provide raw footage from our roadshows, events, behind-the-scenes moments, customer testimonials, our buyers and wider business.
Main Tasks & Responsibilities:
Editing a high volume of short-form social content.
Turning raw footage into engaging, platform-ready videos.
Creating strong hooks, pacing, cuts, captions, text overlays, music and other editing elements.
Editing interviews, testimonials and talking-head content into concise, engaging videos.
Creating different versions of content where useful, including alternative hooks, openings or cutdowns.
Occasionally editing longer-form content for YouTube and various digital channels.
Repurposing longer-form content by editing footage into shorter social-first cuts.
Editing video assets for our paid Meta ads, working alongside our wider marketing team and external paid ads agency.
Taking existing concepts and briefs and bringing them to life, while also suggesting your own creative approaches.
Keeping up with current social trends, formats and editing styles and knowing how to apply them appropriately.
Managing multiple edits and delivering work with fast turnaround times
