We are looking for a versatile and highly creative Video Editor & Storyteller to join our team in Madrid. This role is for a modern video creator who knows how to turn raw footage and creative ideas into content people want to watch—from long-form storytelling to fast-paced social content and AI-generated video. You will take projects from raw footage and creative concepts through final delivery, using strong editorial judgment, pacing, music, sound, graphics, and visual storytelling to create engaging content across platforms. You’ll also transform long-form content into compelling short-form videos designed for today’s social audiences. AI video is an important part of this role. We’re looking for someone who is actively experimenting with generative AI video platforms and understands how to combine emerging AI tools with traditional editing in Premiere Pro and After Effects to expand what’s creatively possible. The ideal candidate is an editor first and a storyteller at heart—someone who can find the strongest moments in hours of footage, create an engaging narrative, understand what works on social, and continuously experiment with new AI video tools, models, and creative workflows. What You'll Do Video Editing & Storytelling • Edit long-form video content and shape raw footage into compelling, well-paced stories that keep audiences engaged. • Turn long-form content into high-performing short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and other social platforms. • Find the strongest story within raw footage, using pacing, structure, hooks, music, sound design, graphics, captions, and visual effects to create engaging content. • Edit social-first content with a strong understanding of audience retention, platform trends, vertical formats, and what makes people stop scrolling and keep watching. Select and incorporate music and sound that strengthens the emotion, energy, pacing, and overall storytelling of each piece. • Create multiple edits, cutdowns, and variations from the same source material for different platforms, audiences, formats, and aspect ratios. • Edit creator, influencer, UGC-style, and personality-driven content; experience working with influencer or creator content is a plus. • Work with interviews, unscripted footage, B-roll, multi-camera content, and large volumes of source material to identify compelling moments and build clear narratives. • Handle color correction, audio cleanup, motion graphics, titling, captions, and finishing as needed. AI Video & Creative Innovation • Use AI video platforms and generative AI tools as an active part of the creative and editing process, not simply as an occasional add-on. • Create and experiment with AI-generated video, image-to-video, text-to-video, AI imagery, animation, voice, visual effects, and other generative media. • Use AI tools for concept development, storyboarding, previsualization, content creation, editing, post-production, and creative experimentation. • Combine traditional editing in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects with AI-generated assets and AI-assisted workflows to create original, high-quality video content. • Experiment with a variety of AI video platforms, models, and emerging creative tools. We are platform-agnostic and value someone who actively explores new technologies and learns new tools quickly. • Develop AI-assisted workflows that can increase production speed, enable faster creative iteration, scale content creation, and unlock new visual possibilities. • Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI video landscape, testing new platforms, models, and creative techniques as they emerge. • Understand when AI can meaningfully improve an idea or production—and when strong traditional editing and storytelling will create the better result. What We're Looking For • Strong professional experience in video editing and post-production, with a portfolio or reel demonstrating excellent visual storytelling. Strong experience editing long-form content and the ability to find compelling stories, moments, and narratives within large amounts of raw or unscripted footage. • Experience turning long-form content into engaging short-form and social-first videos for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. • A strong understanding of social-first storytelling, including hooks, pacing, retention, vertical formats, captions, music, sound design, and platform-specific creative conventions. • A strong creative eye and excellent judgment around story structure, pacing, music, composition, typography, and visual details. • Experience editing creator, influencer, UGC-style, or personality-driven content is a plus. • Hands-on experience with generative AI video platforms and AI-powered creative tools, with genuine interest in incorporating AI into the video production process. • Experience experimenting with text-to-video, image-to-video, AI-generated imagery and animation, AI voice, visual effects, storyboarding, previsualization, or other emerging AI video workflows. • Curiosity about the rapidly evolving AI video landscape and a willingness to continuously test new models, platforms, and creative workflows. We are platform- agnostic and do not require expertise in one specific AI tool. • Ability to combine traditional editing and post-production with AI-generated assets and AI-assisted workflows to create new types of content, accelerate production, and expand creative possibilities. • Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, with strong proficiency in After Effects for motion graphics, animation, compositing, and visual effects. Photoshop experience is a plus. • Strong technical understanding of codecs, frame rates, resolutions, aspect ratios, color workflows, audio standards, and media management. • Ability to work efficiently across multiple projects, receive feedback, collaborate with creative and business teams, and turn sometimes ambiguous creative direction into compelling finished work. • Most importantly, you are more than a technical editor—you are a visual storyteller who is excited about where AI is taking video next. You understand the fundamentals of great editing while actively experimenting with new technology to create work that feels fresh, relevant, and made for how audiences consume content today. Portfolio Requirements Candidates should provide a portfolio, website, or demo reel demonstrating a range of relevant work. We are especially interested in seeing examples of: • Long-form video storytelling and editing, • Short-form and social-first content, including work adapted from longer-form footage, • Creator, influencer, UGC-style, or personality-driven content, if available Strong use of music, pacing, sound, and visual storytelling • Motion graphics and visual effects created with Adobe After Effects, • AI-generated or AI-assisted video work, including examples using generative AI video platforms or AI-powered creative workflows We’re particularly interested in seeing how you think as an editor and storyteller, not just the final polish. Please indicate your specific role on projects where multiple creatives were involved. Working in Madrid This is a hybrid position based in Madrid, Spain. The role combines in-person collaboration with remote work and requires the ability to work from our Madrid location as needed for creative collaboration, production, reviews, and team meetings. Why This Role Video creation is changing quickly, and AI is becoming an increasingly important part of how content is imagined, produced, and edited. We’re looking for someone who has strong fundamentals in editing and visual storytelling while being excited to experiment with what’s next. This role gives you the opportunity to work across long-form storytelling, social-first and short- form content, creator-led content, and AI-generated video—while exploring new ways to combine traditional editing with emerging AI tools. If you’re an editor who thinks like a storyteller, understands what makes content engaging, and actively experiments with AI video, we’d like to see what you can do.
