Do you love editing videos that actually get watched?
We’re on the hunt for a Video Editor (primary role) who knows how to turn raw content into short-form videos that actually hit on Instagram and TikTok, especially talking-head and face-to-camera clips.
At New Gen Social, we help businesses show up online in a way that’s creative, strategic and human. We need someone who gets the fast pace of social media, knows how to make content feel engaging from the first 3 seconds, and can add hooks, text and visuals that feel fresh and relevant.
This role starts with video editing as your main focus, but we’re also looking for someone who’s keen to grow into on-site content creation filming and photographing alongside me for shoots in Perth. That might look like capturing BTS shots at a clinic, doing talking head videos that are engaging and fun scroll-stopping shots for funny Reels.
If you're creative, reliable, detail orinteated and love social media content that looks intentional but not overproduced, we’d love to hear from you!

- Social Media Relevance: Social Media Relevance: You’re up-to-date with the kinds of videos that are working on Instagram and TikTok right now and you know how to spot a strong hook to add to your editing. You can pull out the line or moment that will stop the scroll and make someone watch. You get what resonates and how to edit in a way that feels relevant, not just trendy.
- Strong Design Skills: Solid understanding of design principles necessary for creating visually appealing video content, including effective use of text, colour and audio.
- Adaptability: Ability to work with different content styles and requirements, catering to various industries while maintaining brand consistency.
- Efficient Project Management: Handle your projects with a cool head and a steady hand, meeting deadlines with room to spare.

- Organised and reliable: You’re not just creative, you’re on top of your sh*t. You manage files neatly, label things properly (bless you), hit deadlines without being chased, and can keep projects moving even when there’s a few on the go.
- Bonus: You're also able to be versatile and work with a range of industries from window companies to beauty.
