Overview

We are looking for a talented and creative video editor to work with our luxury events catering brand on an initial project of 4–5 Instagram Reels.

Our brand is premium, modern and detail-driven. We are looking for someone who understands hospitality, storytelling and social media trends, rather than simply putting clips together.

This project will be used to evaluate editors for a potential long-term partnership.

Creative Freedom

We want someone who can bring ideas to the table.

Rather than simply following instructions, we’d like you to:

Creativity is encouraged.
