    • The ideal candidate understands that great editing goes beyond simply putting clips together. 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.
    • You will work closely with the videographer and creative team to produce content for social media, paid advertising, digital campaigns, and other Dokitami platforms.

    • 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.
    • Apply appropriate colour correction, sound design, transitions, effects, and other post-production techniques.
    • Follow creative direction while contributing original ideas to improve the quality and performance of each edit.
    • Make revisions based on feedback and deliver completed videos within agreed timelines.
    • Maintain consistency with Dokitami's brand identity, visual standards, and platform requirements.
    • 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.
    • Communicate proactively regarding timelines, challenges, delays, or anything that may affect delivery.

    • Maintain an organised editing workflow and file structure.
    • Work effectively with the videographer and wider creative team.
    • 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.

      • How can the edit keep viewers engaged until the end?
      • We also want someone who is willing to experiment.
    • You should be comfortable exploring different editing approaches, visual styles, pacing techniques, transitions, and creative treatments rather than relying on the same template for every video.

    • A capable computer suitable for professional video editing.
