The Content Production House is a dynamic, fast-paced in-house design department responsible for creating high-quality, engaging video content for up to 18 markets and 23 languages across Europe. The post holder will be a highly organised, detail-oriented, and technically minded Junior Video Editor.

In this role, you will play a crucial part in our post-production pipeline. You will be responsible for taking translated and QA-approved content, handed over by the Translation Coordinator, and technically integrating it into master video files for delivery across all European markets. This role is a perfect blend of hands‑on video editing, meticulous digital asset management, and localisation execution.

Note: This role focuses on the technical updating and delivery of localised video and digital content once translation and market feedback has been coordinated; it does not involve coordinating markets or managing translation timelines/vendors, which sit with the Translation Coordinator.

• Incorporate Translations:
  Integrate translated, QA-approved text (received from the Translation Coordinator, translation agencies, or automated software tools) into master video files. This includes creating and formatting subtitles, on-screen text overlays, and lower thirds.
• Text Adaptation & Formatting:
  Adjust text layouts, font sizes, and timings to accommodate varying language lengths (e.g., handling German text expansion compared to English) while maintaining strict brand and design guidelines.
• Audio & Voiceover Syncing:
  Import, clean, and sync localised voiceover (VO) tracks and audio elements for different regional outputs.
• Technical Quality Control (QC):
  Meticulously review localised videos to confirm on-screen text matches the approved translation sheets provided by the Translation Coordinator, ensure there are no formatting errors, and confirm audio/video sync is flawless across all 23 markets.

Note: Linguistic accuracy and tone are QA'd by the Translation Coordinator prior to handover; this role QC is technical/visual – sync, formatting, rendering, and correct file application.

• Formatting Adaptations:
  Create version cutdowns and adapt master videos into various aspect ratios for social media and digital channels (e.g., 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5).
• Feedback & Revisions:
  Apply minor creative and technical edits based on feedback routed via the Translation Coordinator and/or Design Production Manager. This role does not liaise directly with regional markets to gather or negotiate feedback.
• Rendering & Exporting:
  Manage the rendering and exporting queue using Adobe Media Encoder, ensuring correct technical specifications, codecs, and naming conventions are applied for each market.

• Project Preparation:
  Ingest, transcode, and organise raw footage and assets into standardised project templates.
• Folder & Server Management:
  Maintain a flawless, logical folder structure on shared storage networks or cloud platforms.
• Project Archiving:
  Manage the archiving and backup process of completed projects, ensuring all raw media, assets, and project files are safely stored and easy to retrieve for future updates.

• 1 to 2 years of experience in video editing,…
