[Hiring] Social Video Editor/Producer @Zeteo

Role Description

Zeteo UK is seeking a part-time Social Video Editor/Producer based in London to support the growth of our UK social media and video presence during our launch phase. This role is expected to average approximately 20 hours per week, with the potential for additional hours as Zeteo UK's editorial and production output expands.

You'll work closely with Zeteo UK's producers, presenters, and reporters to transform original reporting, interviews, podcasts, and video productions into engaging social media and video content. Responsibilities include:

• Creating social graphics, editing short-form clips, producing promotional assets, filming short videos, and supporting the editing of longer-form interviews, podcasts, and programmes.

We're looking for someone with strong editing and filming skills, excellent news judgement, and a deep understanding of how journalism travels across social platforms. Experience filming on location is a strong plus.

This is an opportunity to help build a new media brand from the ground up while working alongside an ambitious and fast-growing team.

Qualifications

• An experienced social media editor, video editor, producer, or content creator with strong editing/filming skills and an eye for detail.
• Comfortable creating social-first content in a fast-paced news environment.
• Skilled at identifying compelling moments from longer-form interviews, podcasts, and videos.
• Strong visual storyteller with excellent attention to detail and editorial judgement.
• Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously.
• Passionate about journalism, current affairs, and independent media.
• Familiar with major social platforms and how audiences consume news across them.
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with a small team.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of experience in social media, digital publishing, journalism, video production, or content creation.
• Strong video editing skills using Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or similar software.
• Experience creating graphics using Photoshop, Canva, Figma, or similar tools.
• Experience filming with professional or prosumer camera equipment.
• Familiarity with UK politics, current affairs, and news media.
• Experience working in a newsroom, media company, production company, digital publisher, or creator-led media business is a plus.

Benefits

• Genuine editorial independence — we answer to our readers, not advertisers or corporate owners.
• Opportunity to help build Zeteo UK's social and video presence from the ground up.
• Work directly with an ambitious, fast-growing team producing impactful journalism.
• Flexible part-time role with potential to expand as Zeteo UK grows.
• Mission that matters — helping independent journalism reach and engage new audiences.
