Are you a versatile video editor that enjoys creating varied video content to connect with different audiences?

We\'re looking for a freelance editor that will mainly be focused on video content production for our clients projects but, with the opportunity to support on content for SomX’s internal brand when needed.

As a freelance Video Editor at SomX, there will be a particular focus on podcast editing and short format content for social media however this doesn\'t mean that you won\'t get the opportunity to flex your skills on longer format or more corporate focused projects, depending on client project needs.

• You have experience with light animation, motion graphics and basic colour grading techniques.
• It’s a massive bonus if you’re familiar with creating video content within our industries of focus such as, healthcare/medical/bio/pharma or even just the tech space; but this is not essential.

Working with us:

• Estimated to be about 1-2 days of work per week however, this is liable to fluctuate depending on our client projects. We are happy to build a schedule that fits with your other commitments.
• ‘The Healthtech Podcast ’ - one of our internal brands, will be a major focus for the person in this role. The expectation is that one episode should be edited from raw footage into a publishable podcast and trailer within a single working day.
• Here is an example of a podcast promotional clip for socials, to demonstrate the level of quality that is expected.
