Video and Content Editor

About Funktion Active

Funktion Active is a premium female activewear and athleisure brand where function meets fashion. We create pieces for women who want performance, style, confidence, and versatility in one. Our customer wants apparel that works hard, looks sharp, and feels good in real life — from training sessions to coffee runs to everything in between.

Our brand is built on a few non-negotiables:

Fun — We embrace the grind, support each other, celebrate wins, and bring good energy to the work
Fast & Focused — We move quickly, prioritise what matters, and keep things clean and effective
Funky — We bring creativity, individuality, and personality — always with purpose
Follow-through — We do what we say, communicate clearly, and take ownership
First Class — We care about standards, details, and delivering polished, commercially strong work

Everything we put into the world needs to reflect that — especially our content.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Video and Content Editor who can take large volumes of raw footage and turn it into polished, high-performing, on-brand content for social media, paid ads, and campaigns.

This is not a basic editing role.

We need someone who can shape content that feels sharp, current, clean, and commercially effective — with a strong focus on scroll-stopping, high-performing short-form content.

This role also plays a key part in building and maintaining a strong content reserve, ensuring the brand stays ahead rather than constantly reacting.

Scroll-Stopping & Viral Content Standard

Content should not only look good — it must perform.

We are creating content for fast-moving social environments where attention is earned, not given. Every piece should be designed to stop the scroll within the first few seconds and hold attention through to the end.

This means:

Strong hooks within the first 1–3 seconds
Clean, engaging visual movement
Edits that feel native to the platform
Content that feels current and relevant

We are not chasing trends blindly, but we are also not ignoring them. The expectation is to understand what is working and apply it in a way that still feels on-brand and elevated.

The goal is to consistently produce content that is:

Highly watchable
Easy to consume
Engaging enough to be saved, shared, or replayed
Capable of performing both organically and in paid ads

Good content is not enough. It needs to compete.

Key Responsibilities
Edit raw footage into polished short-form and campaign-ready content
Identify the strongest clips, moments, and creative opportunities from large footage sets
Create clean, engaging edits with strong pacing and flow
Apply colour correction and ensure accurate product colour representation
Format content correctly for Instagram, paid ads, website, and other platforms
Add captions, text overlays, and simple motion elements where needed
Prepare final exports in a clean, organised format for the team
Maintain strong file organisation and naming conventions
Support building and managing a structured, searchable content library
Flag strong unused footage and suggest new content opportunities
Work through large footage banks consistently to build a content reserve
Deliver work that is close to final with minimal revisions required
Identify and prioritise content with strong potential to perform as scroll-stopping social content
Content Focus
Instagram Reels (primary focus)
Gym, fitness, and training content
Paid ad creatives (Meta)
TikTok-style edits
Website and campaign videos
UGC-style and behind-the-scenes content
Product and founder-led content
Expected Output
Up to 150 unique edited pieces per month
Most edits are short-form (~15 seconds)
Work through a 20+ hour footage bank consistently
Maintain a content reserve at least 4 weeks ahead
Creative & Brand Standards

Content should feel:

Fun, engaging, and on-brand
Clean, polished, and premium
Current but not cheap or overdone
Authentic while still elevated

Avoid:

Cheap-looking edits
Overused templates
Cheesy transitions or effects
Sloppy pacing
Visual inconsistency

Reference brands: CSB, Lilo, Hona Active

Workflow & Communication
Work within Google Drive systems for files, briefs, and feedback
Follow provided direction for copy, music, and creative intent
Work independently while staying aligned with priorities and timelines

Communication expectations:

Daily check-in
End-of-day update
Weekly meeting

Daily updates should include:

Completed work
Work in progress
Items awaiting review
Blockers
Next priorities

We value clear, proactive communication — no guessing, no disappearing.

Revisions & Quality Expectations
Most content should require 1–2 revisions max
First drafts should already be close to final
Work should be clean, accurate, and ready to use
What Success Looks Like
Content delivered quickly with minimal hand holding
Consistent editing quality across all outputs
Strong attention to detail and product accuracy
Initiative and problem-solving without constant direction
Content bank stays ahead (minimum 4 weeks)
Files and assets are organised and easy to use
Communication is reliable and proactive
Ideal Candidate
Mid-level to senior editor
Strong experience with short-form and social-first content
Strong eye for pacing, visuals, and content flow
Organised and comfortable managing large volumes of footage
Strong written English and communication
Experience in fitness, activewear, or ecommerce is a plus
Experience with both organic and paid content is a plus
Fast, reliable, detail-oriented, and accountable
Not a Fit If You
Are slow, disorganised, or inconsistent
Need constant direction for simple decisions
Struggle with volume or deadlines
Produce generic, low-quality, or template-heavy work
Miss details or create workflow chaos
Role Structure
Full-time or contract (depending on candidate)
~40 hours per week
Long-term opportunity with growth potential
Confidentiality

You will have access to unreleased campaigns and internal content. Professionalism and discretion are required.

Final Note

We are looking for someone who gives a damn.

Someone fast, sharp, organised, and proud of the work they put out.
Someone who can take raw footage and turn it into content that actually looks like a brand.

Someone who understands:

Fun doesn’t mean messy
Premium doesn’t mean boring
Speed doesn’t mean sloppy

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
