Role brief

remoteroles summary, based on the employer's posting.

What you'll do

  • Cut short videos for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, shaping footage for each platform
  • Create UGC-style and direct-response paid ads designed to drive action
  • Turn live-commerce, studio and event footage into finished videos, handling edits through final delivery
  • Break long videos, including podcasts and keynotes, into a regular run of short clips
  • Plan posts around the content calendar and bring fresh format and trend ideas

What you bring

  • You can shoot and edit short-form videos yourself, backed by a showreel or portfolio
  • You bring strong editing ability in Premiere Pro, DaVinci, CapCut or a comparable tool
  • You know how to direct on camera and manage basic lighting and audio on your own
  • You can deliver a high volume of work quickly without sacrificing quality

Who this fits

This hands-on role suits a mid-level creator comfortable both behind the camera and in the edit suite. It is remote and based in Cape Town, South Africa.

From the employer

Somerce is a TikTok Shop Agency working with 70+ global brands across beauty, FMCG and wellness. We're hiring a Content Editor to support with video edit and delivery. This is a hands-on creative role for someone who lives in the edit suite and is just as comfortable behind a camera.

What you'll do

  • Edit short-form social content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
  • Produce UGC-style and direct-response adverts for paid social, built to convert, not just to look good
  • Turn footage from live commerce sessions, studio shoots and events into polished, platform-ready videos.
  • Handle the editing process from footage selection and assembly through to sound, colour correction, captions, light motion graphics and final delivery.
  • Repurpose long-form footage (keynotes, lives, podcasts) into a steady stream of short-form clips
  • Keep a consistent posting cadence against a content calendar
  • Stay ahead of platform formats and trends and bring ideas to the table, not just execute briefs

Requirements

What we're looking for

  • A proven track record self-shooting and self-editing short-form content, with a showreel or portfolio to back it up
  • Strong editing skills (Premiere Pro, DaVinci, CapCut or similar; After Effects a plus)
  • A real eye for TikTok-native, platform-first content rather than repurposed TV ads
  • Confidence directing on camera and handling lighting and audio basics solo
  • Comfort working at high volume and fast turnaround without dropping quality
  • Self-starter who can use the initiative to edit without hand holding

Benefits

Core Benefits

  • Competitive salary, benchmarked to experience and performance
  • Performance-related bonus / commission aligned to commercial impact
  • 28 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Hybrid working with offices in London and Manchester
  • Flexible working hours – we care about output, not clock-watching

Growth & Career Development

  • Clear progression paths with responsibility early
  • Regular performance reviews focused on development and impact
  • Direct exposure to high-growth brands across the UK, US and EU
  • Opportunity to work at the cutting edge of TikTok Shop and social commerce

Financial & Lifestyle Perks

  • Company pension scheme
  • Monthly wellness allowance (gym, fitness, mental wellbeing or similar)
  • Team socials and events throughout the year
  • Staff discounts across our brands and partners

Work Environment

  • Fast-paced, high-ownership culture
  • Minimal bureaucracy and maximum accountability
  • Surrounded by people who care about performance, creativity and doing things properly
  • A business that wins with its clients, shared success matters

The Somerce Difference

  • We trust our people
  • We move quickly and back good ideas
  • You’ll have real influence, not just responsibility
  • If you perform, you’ll grow, simple as that
