You should be able to interpret a script, understand the story being told, and make creative decisions around visuals, pacing, typography, transitions, sound, captions, and B-roll to keep viewers engaged.

• Transform scripts, voiceovers, raw footage, B-roll, stock footage, images, music, and other assets into finished videos.

• Create engaging pacing, transitions, captions, subtitles, typography, and visual storytelling that support the narration.

• Select and source appropriate stock footage, images, music, and other creative assets where required.

• Use AI-generated assets and AI-assisted workflows where appropriate.

• Ensure visuals are properly timed with narration, music, dialogue, and the overall story.

• Manage and organise raw footage, project files, assets, and final exports.

• Keep up with current video-editing trends and creative approaches, particularly those relevant to social media and performance marketing.

• Work closely with the videographer and creative team to maintain an efficient content production workflow.

• The existing Dokitami engagement structure specifies a minimum of five edited videos per week, with performance assessed on output consistency, quality, turnaround time, responsiveness to feedback, creative contribution, organisation, and collaboration.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Video Editor, preferably in social media, advertising, digital marketing, or content production.

• This is not mandatory, but candidates who can combine strong video editing with motion graphics and creative visual treatments will have an advantage.

What We're Looking For:
