Full-time | Cape Town

We are looking for an exceptional video editor.

Seen TV is a decolonial media company telling the stories mainstream media ignores. We specialise in raw, mobile-first storytelling. This is NOT tv.

This role is for someone with a distinct style and serious narrative instincts.


What You’ll Do

Edit short-form and long-form videos that are built to be watched all the way through.

Shape narrative. Pacing. Suspense. Emotional arcs. Comedic timing too!

Collaborate closely with producers and creatives to push ideas further.

Know when to cut hard and when to let a moment breathe.

What You Should Be Good At

You are a narrative editor first.

You have a unique style. Not templates. Taste.

You understand retention, pacing, and why people stay.

You do not rely on flashy effects to hide weak storytelling.

You have work that has reached at least 1M views online


What This Is Not

This is not a sizzle-reel job.

This is not a flashy montage role.

This is not about 8K cinematic footage.


How to Apply

Please keep this simple.

Send one link only.


Either:

  1. One piece of storytelling you are proud of
  2. Or one video that reached 1M+ organic views on social platforms


No reels or compilations kindly!


If you are a serious editor with taste and narrative instinct, we should talk.


We are Seen.

Are you?
