JOB OVERVIEW

About the Role

We are looking for a talented and reliable Video Editor to join our team on a part-time, long-term basis and create high-quality video content for Shym Saunas, an Australian premium sauna brand.

The main focus of this role will be editing Instagram Reels, Facebook videos, short-form social content, product videos, promotional videos and other brand content using our existing video library and new footage.

We are looking for someone who understands that good social content is not simply about adding transitions and effects. You should have a strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, hooks, music, visual flow and audience retention, while maintaining a premium and authentic brand feel.

What You'll Do

Edit short-form videos and Reels for Instagram and Facebook.
Turn raw footage into engaging social media content.
Create different edits from existing video footage where appropriate.
Select strong hooks, opening shots and sequences to capture attention.
Add captions, text overlays, music, sound effects and simple motion graphics where appropriate.
Edit product-focused videos while maintaining accurate representation of the actual products.
Create promotional and campaign videos for product launches, sales and seasonal campaigns.
Work with existing footage from our video library and organise/select the best clips for editing.
Follow creative direction and brand guidelines.
Make revisions based on feedback.
Export videos correctly for Instagram, Facebook and other social platforms.

What We're Looking For

Proven experience as a video editor, particularly for social media/Reels/short-form content.
Strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality editing.
Good understanding of hooks, pacing, storytelling and audience retention.
Experience creating content for brands, ecommerce or lifestyle businesses is highly desirable.
Strong attention to detail.
Ability to follow a creative brief and take feedback well.
Good English communication skills.
Reliable and able to meet agreed deadlines.
Good eye for premium, natural and authentic visual content.

Very Important – Product Accuracy

Shym Saunas sells premium products, so accuracy is extremely important.

You must not alter, invent or incorrectly represent product features, product configurations or product details when editing videos. We will provide the correct product footage and references, and you will be expected to work carefully with the supplied material.

We also want our content to feel authentic and premium rather than obviously AI-generated. AI tools can be used to assist your workflow where appropriate, but the final content must look natural and professionally produced.

Software

You should be comfortable working with professional video editing software such as:

Adobe Premiere Pro
DaVinci Resolve
Final Cut Pro
CapCut
After Effects or similar motion graphics tools

Experience with Canva and AI-assisted editing tools is a plus, but strong editing ability and creative judgement are more important than the specific software you use.

To Apply

Please include:

A link to your best video editing portfolio.
2–3 examples of Reels/short-form videos you have edited.
Briefly explain what software you use.
Tell us how many hours per week you are available.
Tell us your expected hourly rate.
Tell us about your experience editing content for brands, ecommerce or social media.
If given 30 minutes of raw sauna/product footage, briefly explain how you would d ---------- which sections should become a 30–60 second Reel.

Please do not send generic portfolio links only. We are particularly interested in seeing your short-form social media work.

This is intended to be a long-term position for the right person, with the potential for increased hours and responsibility based on performance.

This approach deliberately puts the product-accuracy requirement prominently in the advert. That's important given Artem's recent feedback about AI-looking creatives and inaccurate product representation.
