Video Editor (Johannesburg)

Job description

Lucky Hustle  is looking for a Video Editor who’s more than just a cutter of clips. We’re after a storyteller — someone who can make a TikTok feel cinematic, a LinkedIn video feel scroll-proof, and a YouTube cut feel binge-worthy. If you live for pacing, sound design, bold transitions, and experimenting with generative AI, this is your next hustle.

Why Join Lucky Hustle?

• Creative Playground: Edit for brands that don’t settle for boring. Every brief is a chance to play, experiment, and craft scroll-stopping stories.
• Rocket-Fueled Growth: Build your career in a growing agency with international clients and plenty of room to move up.
• Team Vibes: Collaborate with a crew that values creativity as much as craft, and pitches the weirdest (good) ideas.
• Future Forward: Explore how AI is reshaping editing, design, and storytelling.

Responsibilities:

• Edit short-form and long-form content (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and whatever platform drops next).
• Bring creative ideas to life with slick animation, sharp cuts, and storytelling magic.
• Adapt edits to match different brand vibes — from sleek corporate to chaotic fun.
• Deliver polished, platform-ready assets that stop the scroll.
• Experiment with generative AI to push editing into bold, uncharted territory.

Details:

• This is a permanent role with opportunities to grow as Lucky Hustle expands.
• Hybrid role (office location: Paulshof, Johannesburg).
• Competitive remuneration (depending on experience).

Requirements:

• 1–3 years’ experience as a Video Editor (agency experience a plus).
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite — especially Premiere Pro, After Effects, Media Encoder, Photoshop, Illustrator.
• Strong skills in animation, motion graphics, and visual storytelling.
• A reel/portfolio that proves you can make brands look good and feel relevant.
• Hunger to learn, experiment, and stay ahead of social media trends.

Unicorn

• Bonus points if you’ve dabbled in camera work, motion graphics, or meme culture.
• Flair for AI-driven editing and new styles of visual storytelling.
