Video Editor

About the role

The posting lists Auckland. 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.
