Company Description
ONDA Creative Studio is a format development and production studio based in London, producing content for creators and brands across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and beyond. We’re hiring a senior video editor to join the team on a part-time retainer basis.
The Role
You’ll be the lead editor across multiple creator and brand projects. The primary focus is a recurring live dating show format filmed in front of a live audience — approximately 90 minutes, filmed with 4 cameras, edited into a 45-60 minute hero video plus 4-5 short-form cutdowns. Beyond this, you’ll edit long-form YouTube content, short-form brand and creator videos, fitness content, social-first reels, and campaign pieces for clients across a range of industries and platforms.
What You'll Do
* Edit long-form content (45-60 min) from unscripted, multi-camera live footage. Build narrative, manage pacing, create hooks
* Cut short-form content for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and LinkedIn — platform-native edits with hooks, captions, and pacing
* Sync and assemble multicam footage (4 camera angles) from live events
* Sound design and colour grade to a broadcast-ready standard
* Edit across a variety of content types: creator, brand partnership, fitness, talking head, social-first, and event content
* Work within DaVinci Resolve shared project environments where possible, so timelines are accessible to the wider team
* Use AI tools (specifically Higgsfield) for short-form content workflows where appropriate
What We're Looking For
* Strong long-form editing skills (15+ min). You understand pacing, retention, hooks, and storytelling from raw unscripted material. Show us your best work
* Strong short-form editing instinct. You know what makes someone stop scrolling. Platform-native editing for vertical and horizontal formats
* DaVinci Resolve proficiency is strongly preferred. Shared project experience is a major plus. Not a dealbreaker, but a significant advantage
* Multicam editing experience is a bonus, ideally from live events, reality TV, or unscripted formats
* Competent sound design and colour grading. Your grades should be clean and your audio broadcast-ready
* Self-directed. You can take a rough brief and deliver a polished first cut without needing frame-by-frame instructions
* Reliable. You deliver when you say you will. If something changes, you communicate before the deadline, not after
* Open to AI-assisted workflows. Specifically Higgsfield for short-form content. You don’t need to be an expert, but you need to be curious
* Politically impartial and professional. ONDA works with clients across a range of industries, causes, and viewpoints. This role requires a professional, unbiased approach to all content — the work is the work, regardless of subject matter
