Looking for a video editor who also shoots, based in Beirut, someone who can turn a rough brief into something people actually stop scrolling for.
We're not after a generalist who touches a bit of everything. We want someone who lives in the edit: knows pacing, knows sound, knows when a cut should breathe and when it shouldn't.
Someone already using AI in their workflow when needed, b-roll fills, cleanup, upscaling, whatever gets the job done without watering down the work.
Editing is where most of your time goes. You'll shoot too: campaigns, events, Reels, product work, the occasional BTS chaos, but the day-to-day is timeline, not tripod.
Some of what the week looks like:
- Editing across formats for different clients, different platforms, different tones
- Shooting only when needed: DSLR, gimbal, sometimes just a phone and good light
- Keeping an eye on what's actually working on Reels/TikTok this month, not last year
- Working with the creative and account teams so briefs don't get lost in translation
- Keeping the content library organized (future you will thank you)
You should already have:
- A portfolio that speaks for itself: video and photo, edited by you
- Real comfort in Premiere, After Effects, Lightroom, Photoshop
- Know your way around lighting: natural, on-location, or a basic setup, you can make it look good without a full crew
- An eye for color, sound, and story that doesn't need explaining
- Flexibility for shoots that land on evenings or weekends (very occasional)
- Some hunger, we're looking for someone building a career here, not filling a gap
Based in Beirut. 4 days on-site, 1 remote.
