Video Editor

Join a business who is on a mission to help New Zealand’s dogs live better, more active lives through real, whole-food supplements that actually work, delivering results that dog owners can truly see.

This is a small, fast-moving team that handles everything from product to marketing in-house, and are now in need of a sharp Video Editor to help tell their story and scale.

Are you an editor who loves data just as much as you love a good frame? Excellent opportunity to bring your skills to a lean, fast-moving team in the pet wellness space; seeking a creative who can take raw footage and turn it into high-converting social content. We don’t need a corporate cog; we need a video specialist who understands that the best edit is one that stops the scroll and drives the bottom line.

Why this role hits different:

• Own the creative output: You aren't just cranking out revisions for ten different stakeholders. You’ll have real autonomy to test ideas and shape brand identity.
• See your impact in real-time: Performance-obsessed team. You’ll see exactly which ads convert, giving you the immediate feedback loop every good editor craves.
• Balance the workflow: You aren't just stuck at a desk. You'll spend most of your time in the edit suite, but you’ll also be out in the field meeting real customers and their dogs - how good!

A bit about the business: 

This is a Kiwi brand that’s doing things differently. A small, agile team that moves at pace valuing people who can carry their own weight and bring proactive solutions to the table rather than just waiting for instructions.

The role in a nutshell:

This is a hybrid editor/creator position. About 85% of your week is "in the flow" editing, optimizing ads for Meta, piecing together high-trust customer stories, and refining founder content. The other 15% is the "hands-on" part: getting out with a camera, interviewing customers, and capturing that raw, authentic magic that makes the brand feel real.

What you’ll be doing:

• Driving conversion: Cutting high-energy, short-form ads that actually perform on paid channels.
• Storytelling: Taking raw testimonials and founder-led content and turning them into compelling, trust-building narratives.
• Managing the library: Keeping assets, files, and project folders orderly so the team can access them easily.
• Field production: Managing small-scale shoots. You’ll be the one to guide customers, put them at ease on camera, and extract the best stories.
• Trend-spotting: Keeping a pulse on what’s working in the social video landscape and pitching ways we can adapt those trends for our brand.

The experience and skills you’ll bring:

• Performance Mindset: You know how to marry creative editing with conversion data. You understand why an ad works (or why it doesn't).
• Technical Toolkit: You are proficient in Premiere Pro or Final Cut. You’re also comfortable pulling in After Effects or CapCut for motion graphics and text overlays.
• The X-Factor: You have a natural sense of pacing. You know exactly when to cut, how to balance audio, and how to create a rhythm that keeps viewers hooked.
• People Skills: You’re personable and professional. Whether it’s an owner or their dog, you have the ability to make your subjects feel comfortable in front of a lens.
• Self-Management: You’re organized, proactive, and happy to run your own process. We provide the briefs; you own the delivery.
• Last but not least, a passion for animals, wellness and meeting dogs and their owners
