Video Editor

Video Editor – Competitive Salary based on experience - Edinburgh, UK (Hybrid)
We’re Building Something Different
At Nordic Visitor, we’re not just another travel company. We’re redefining what travel content can be. Forget generic tourism videos. We’re launching a creative rebrand centered around authentic documentary storytelling, with raw, unscripted moments at the heart of everything we do. Picture the style of Patagonia films—real people, real places, and genuine stories across Europe. Our goal? To create compelling, cinematic content that makes people want to see the world, not just travel.
We need an editor who’s excited to join us at this pivotal moment. Someone who can contribute their creative instincts to shape the future of Nordic Visitor’s video content. This is an opportunity to define what we look and feel like, and to truly make an impact. It’s not just about filling a seat—it’s about shaping something meaningful from the ground up.
The Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Video Editor to join us on this creative journey. This isn’t a typical 9-to-5. You’ll be right at the heart of our transformation, working across all stages of the editing process. From shaping long-form documentaries to creating punchy, shareable social cuts, you’ll have the chance to refine every aspect of storytelling.
This role is for someone who thinks deeply about story and pacing, someone who understands that every frame, every cut, every sound cue matters. We want an editor who is ready to take raw footage from our team across Europe—unscripted, authentic moments—and turn them into something cinematic, emotional, and shareable. If you’re the kind of person who loses sleep over finding the perfect three seconds to trim, this could be the role for you.
What You’ll Do Day-to-Day
* Take story cuts and paper edits and turn them into finished, polished videos—from full-length documentaries to social-first edits for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Meta campaigns.
* Work with raw, unscripted footage from across Europe, including destinations like Iceland, Italy, Scotland, and Norway. These aren’t just typical tourist shots—they’re real moments captured by our team on the ground.
* Edit long-form documentary content: Shape narrative arcs, refine pacing, and ensure the content holds attention from start to finish.
* Chop long-form content into short-form pieces optimized for different platforms—creating variations that work just as well in 15 seconds as they do in 20 minutes.
* Use AI tools to streamline repetitive tasks like logging, transcription, and rough-cut assembly, so you can focus on the moments that truly matter.
* Handle sound design and audio mixing to create a consistent, cinematic feel across all content.
* Create motion graphics and animations (After Effects or similar) to enhance storytelling.
* Design thumbnails and visual assets in Photoshop for YouTube and social media platforms.
* Collaborate with our creative team and EGC creators to develop and refine raw, authentic moments from our destinations.
