About Uncovered:
Uncovered is an award-winning, London-based social-first creative agency founded in 2017.
Social sits at the heart of everything we do.
From strategy to production, our team is fluent in the language of social, with a deep understanding of culture, platforms and the audiences that shape them. Working with a diverse portfolio of brands, we uncover what makes each one distinctive and create ideas built for where attention lives today. Our approach is rooted in social-first fundamentals: real people, real stories and video-first creativity.
We create at the speed of social; strategising, ideating, designing and producing through our team of in-house strategists, creatives, art directors, copywriters, producers, editors and videographers. We test, learn and iterate in real time, delivering end-to-end solutions from creative strategy through to production, reporting and analytics.
Named Campaign's Social Media Agency of the Year in 2026, Uncovered has become one of the UK's fastest-growing creative agencies, driven by a simple ambition: to build the best social-first creative agency in the world. Today, as part of LBG Media, we combine independent creative thinking with unrivalled social insight and cultural influence to help brands create work that earns attention and drives meaningful impact.
Our culture is as important as our creative. We believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives, collaborative thinking and an environment where people can do the best work of their careers. With women representing around 60% of our leadership team, we're committed to building an inclusive, ambitious culture where talent is nurtured, creativity thrives and everyone has the opportunity to make a difference.

The Role

We're on the lookout for a talented, creatively driven Video Editor to join our in-house production team.

Working across short-form branded content for a wide variety of clients, you'll be responsible for bringing ideas to life through engaging, visually interesting and culturally relevant content, primarily for TikTok, Instagram and Meta platforms. We're looking for someone who combines strong traditional editing skills with a creative, social-first approach. You'll have a proven ability to create dynamic edits, experiment with interesting transitions, visual techniques and pacing, and understand how to make content stand out in an increasingly competitive social landscape.

You'll be confident working across Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with the ability to incorporate 2D motion, animated elements and visual treatments into your edits. While we're not necessarily looking for a dedicated motion graphics designer, an interest and ability in motion design will be a real advantage.

You'll have your finger on the pulse of social culture, understand current trends, editing styles, platform behaviours and what makes content resonate with audiences. You'll bring creative ideas to the edit, be comfortable working at pace and enjoy pushing the creative possibilities of each project. Attention to detail, organisation, creativity and good communication skills are essential. You'll work closely with our production and creative teams, be open to feedback and confident taking edit notes through to delivery.

Responsibilities

Key elements of the role include:

  • Edit engaging, high-quality short-form branded content for TikTok, Instagram and other social platforms.

  • Bring a creative, social-first approach to every edit, with a strong understanding of pacing, transitions, hooks and audience engagement.

  • Experiment with interesting editing techniques, visual effects and creative transitions to make content stand out.

  • Incorporate 2D motion, animated elements, text treatments and graphics into edits using After Effects.

  • Work across Premiere Pro and After Effects, confidently moving between traditional editing and more creative visual treatments.

  • Stay up to date with current social trends, editing styles, internet culture and emerging platform formats, bringing relevant inspiration and ideas into projects.

  • Collaborate with the production and creative teams to interpret briefs and deliver against the creative vision.

  • Organise footage, manage timelines and prepare exports across multiple formats and platforms.

  • Manage multiple projects and edit deadlines, maintaining a consistently high standard of work.

  • Take feedback and edit notes constructively, applying changes accurately and efficiently.

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a video editor, ideally within a creative agency, production company or social-first content environment.

  • Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and a very comfortable working knowledge of Adobe After Effects.

  • Demonstrable experience creating social-first edits, with a strong understanding of transitions, pacing, visual storytelling and engaging editing techniques.

  • Ability to incorporate 2D motion and animated elements into video edits. Motion graphics experience is a bonus, but not essential.

  • A strong understanding of current social media platforms, trends, formats and online culture.

  • A creative eye and willingness to experiment with different editing styles and techniques.

  • Ability to digest, organise and manage large volumes of footage efficiently.

  • Excellent attention to detail and an organised approach to managing projects and deadlines.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with different teams.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced creative agency environment, managing multiple projects and responding positively to feedback.

  • A strong portfolio or showreel demonstrating social-first editing, creative transitions and After Effects capabilities is essential.
