Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

About Us We're a UK-based non-profit, pre-startup, with over 20 years of community participation and engagement — working alongside some of society's most vulnerable people. We're looking for a video editor who wants to be part of this journey — someone who can tell a story with heart and is interested in creating real social impact. Project Overview Video is central to how we tell our story. We've got existing footage, screen recordings and a working product demo — the raw material is there, but it needs shaping into a set of short, polished, persuasive videos that can sit alongside our pitch deck and outreach. This is an editing job — turning existing material into clear, emotive short films for funders, investors and a wider non-expert audience. We'd start with a small first batch to check fit, with ongoing work as we build out a library of short videos. What Needs To Be Done Re-edit our existing video into a tighter, cleaner cut Refresh the product demo videos Cut a new founder intro Assemble around four separate clips into one cohesive piece Edit field/interview footage into a short promo showing how hard it currently is for vulnerable people to find help Produce short (2–3 minute) comparison videos Add captions/subtitles and light graphics, with versions suitable for both presentations and social media What We're Looking For Strong short-form video editing (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut) Comfortable editing both talking-head/interview footage and screen recordings Captions/subtitles, lower-thirds and light motion graphics Able to cut for social/short-form (vertical) as well as for presentations A strong story sense — making a clear, emotive narrative that lands with non-expert audiences Based in a European time zone (UK hours overlap is important) Proactive communicator — regular updates, no radio silence Experience with charity or mission-driven content is a plus Budget & Timeline Please propose your budget We'd start with a small first batch as a short paid trial. Open to milestone-based or per-video payments if preferred To Apply Please include in your proposal: 2–3 examples of previous short-form, talking-head, demo or explainer edits (social-impact work a plus) Which editing software you work in Your typical turnaround for a polished 2–3 minute edit from supplied footage Your rate and estimated time Your time zone and typical availability Whether you're happy to start with a short, paid trial edit Note: This is the pilot and fundraising phase of a longer-term project. The right person will have the opportunity to grow with us as we scale.
