TikTok Video Editor (Freelance)

Kyra Media is a Gen-Z media company creating engaging digital content that resonates with youth culture. We represent world class digital native talent, produce digital content with the biggest and best consumer brands and develop media properties publishing daily content on platforms that matter to Gen Z.

We are a community of filmmakers, editors, producers and creatives who specialise in creating premium digital-video. We create content that people genuinely care about and engage with. They are true fans - they tune in every week and engage with us across multiple platforms.

Role and responsibilities

We are looking for an editor to join a small team of social media producers on a freelance basis creating an in-house TikTok channel focusing on Gen-Z fashion. This editor will be skilled in the traditional Adobe suite, but should be equally excited about editing in-app, making use of the platform’s rich features. 

We are looking for a creative and proactive team member, who will experiment with different versions of an edit, exploring multiple directions and styles while adhering to Kyra’s recognisable look and feel, and who is excited about bringing ideas of their own to the edit. 

A familiarity with short-form video editing and the ability to incorporate graphics and effects will be key.

We are obsessed with TikTok and you should be too.
