Select strong hooks, opening shots and sequences to capture attention.
Add captions, text overlays, music, sound effects and simple motion graphics where appropriate.

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.

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.

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.
