AucklandHybridFull-time

AI Summary

A video editor who crafts short, platform-native videos (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn) with a bold, comedic, storytelling focus. They turn diverse raw footage into scroll-stopping content, collaborating closely with marketing and creative leads.

About this role

Firstly, this role is not about making sh*tty corporate vids. Nobody wants that 🙅‍♀️

We’re looking for someone who wants to make two-minute tear-jerkers, perfectly timed gags, and scroll-stopping clips that capture attention, reflect Tracksuit's distinct brand voice (unexplainable joy) across every social channel and helps us build the biggest and most engaged marketing and brand audience in the world.

If you dream in match cuts, know your clip theory from your session times, held a camera before you held a spoon, and get a genuine dopamine hit from the moment the J-cut slaps, you'll thrive here. We're looking for a bold, deep-in-the-edit storyteller who can take a wide range of footage and turn it into short, sharp stories with a high level of craft and at a pace that protects (not stifles) creative momentum.

Unlike companies that expect high-bar creative output with little support, at Tracksuit you'll get:

  • A creative collective of fellow off-piste thinkers (not AI slop addicts) to lol with.
  • A diverse, whole video diet of raw footage, B-roll, UCG clips, vox pops, podcast recordings, animation renders and other composite visual story assets about the world’s biggest consumer brands to edit into YouTube gold.
  • Real budgets, so you can actually get the plugins, presets, and gear you need to make cool sh*t and focus more on hooks, animations and story arcs than price.
  • Full creative control in the edit (structure, music, pacing, the lot), and freedom to express your video gift to the world. And get paid for it!

What you'll do:

  • Edit video that feels made for the platform it lives on, not repurposed for it. Native to TikTok, native to LinkedIn, always unmistakably Tracksuit.
  • Turn raw footage into content that stops the scroll, whether that's a glitchy iPhone clip cut in an afternoon or a proper shoot you've briefed an external partner to nail with a high craft vibe.
  • Keep the cut-downs coming every week, and bring your own ideas to the table, not just your timeline. You are on the creative team yo!
  • Edit across a broad content mix: podcast clips, webinar countdowns, event vox pops, in-house creator content, and brand film pieces.
  • Edit short-form video for organic and paid social (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn) and adapt content for our owned channels (website, email, etc.).
  • Collaborate with the wider marketing team to execute video content aligned with campaign goals and brand standards. Help form the idea not just edit someone else's.
  • Juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball. You know when good enough beats perfect and shipped.
  • Organise, archive, and maintain video and photo assets for efficient reuse and access.
  • You own the edit end to end: structure, animation, music, pacing. If it looks and feels right, it's your call.
  • What we're looking for:

  • You have a strong understanding of editing technique, video production, and post-production across all modern editing tools and platforms.
  • You know your sh*t. You're fluent in the lingo. You can tell us what the heck a long-GOP is and can describe the difference between a 3 cam 1080p XF-AVC-S 10-bit and a 2 individual WAV.
  • You deeply understand platform fundamentals: retention, clip theory, session times, watch times, and what works on which platform (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn).
  • You know how to hook an audience in the first few seconds.
  • You have hands-on thumbnail design ability, or strong art direction taste and the ability to brief and collaborate with design.
  • You're comfortable writing titles, descriptions, occasional voiceover scripts, and captions, whatever it takes to make the edit sing like Susan Boyle.
  • You're open-minded about AI and modern editing tools that make the craft better, not tools for producing sloppy volume.
  • You're highly curious about internet culture, emerging trends, and evolving platform behaviours, balanced with strong editorial judgement and attention to detail. You follow trends, but you don't jump on the bandwagon unless it's right for the brand.
  • You love the craft. You find your creative flow state deep in the edit suite, and you live for high velocity and speed of production. Speed is like your creative oxygen.
  • You're a storyteller at heart: you love the craft and you know how to tug heartstrings, land a tear-jerking two-minute short film, or slip in a well-timed gag. You live, breathe, and think in frame rates, cadence, and storytelling arcs.
  • Who you might be:

  • You have a deep passion for film and video, with a strong point of view on what makes good video in 2026 and beyond.
  • You're probably a massive movie buff and a deep consumer of online video. You'd be proud to show off your YouTube algorithm, and you're the go-to person at a party for "have you seen anything good lately?"
  • You don't need a B2B SaaS background, in fact it's probably better if you don't have one. Ideally you come from somewhere closer to culture (AKA the real world!). Think: a media company doing journalistic or satirical video storytelling, building your own well-edited YouTube channel, or supporting Insta-famous people like athletes or celebs with behind-the-scenes and day-in-the-life video content.
  • Team & reporting:

    You'll be a core, highly collaborative part of a tight-knit creative team: made up of an In-House Creator, Motion Designer, Creative Director, Writer/Editor, and Social Media Manager, all reporting into the Head of Brand. We get weird. But not in a weird way. #ideas4lyfe.

    And this isn't just a seat at the table, it's a foundational one. You'll be one of the earliest members of Tracksuit Studio, helping build the creative engine from scratch and take our brand somewhere no B2B company has dared gone before.
