Freelance Video Editor - Social Media & Paid Ads

Joseph James Furniture Outlet is a discount furniture outlet with stores across Greater Manchester and the North West, selling brand-name furniture at outlet prices. Our social content and paid ads do one job: make people stop scrolling and do a double-take at the price.

We're looking for a freelance editor to take our footage and assets and turn them into fast, clean, high-performing short-form video - and who can match the style we've already built rather than reinventing it.

This starts as a small paid batch of work. If it goes well, it becomes an ongoing freelance arrangement supporting our regular content output.

What you'll be editing

Videos of 10–30 seconds for Instagram Reels, Instagram Stories, TikTok and Meta paid ads. A typical edit involves:

Clean cuts and pacing built for sound-off viewing
Captions and subtitles
Price and product overlays
Light motion graphics using assets we supply
Audio levelling, and occasionally rescuing imperfect audio
Assembling talking-head footage and product-focused b-roll

You may occasionally be asked to create or adapt a graphic to suit a specific edit.

What we provide

All footage, graphics and brand assets, plus a written brief for each video. You'll work to the brief, but we welcome your input on hooks, pacing and structure where it stays consistent with our existing style.

What we're looking for

Demonstrable short-form editing experience - a showreel or links to recent work
An instinct for the first two seconds. In paid media, that's where the money is
Reliability on turnaround, and clear communication when something's going to slip
Any editing software is fine. We care about the output, not the tool
Ability to deliver high-resolution, ready-to-post exports plus editable project files

You don't need furniture or retail experience. You do need to be able to make an offer land quickly.
