Childcare Marketing

Video Editor

Johannesburg, South Africa - Full Time

Looking for a Video Editor Wizard to Join Our Creative Team

This isn't just another editing gig. It's your chance to sculpt brand narratives in a fast-moving, client-centric environment where every cut, transition, and sound cue matters. If you live for seamless cuts, dynamic motion graphics, and can spot a killer moment in a sea of footage, keep reading.

Who We Are

At Childcare Marketing, we don't just produce videos, we craft experiences that capture the warmth of a great childcare center and turn it into enrollments. Our creative squad partners with childcare centers, preschools, nurseries and family brands across the globe to make their stories impossible to scroll past.

What You'll Own

  • Edit and assemble raw footage into polished, on-brand videos that hit client objectives.
  • Collaborate with creative directors and copywriters to develop engaging concepts and storyboards.
  • Layer in graphics, animations, special effects, and sound design to elevate every frame.
  • Ensure all video content is thumb-stopping, on-message, and optimized for platforms from Facebook and YouTube to Instagram Reels and TikTok.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends and editing techniques, if there's a new transition or effect, we want you to master it.
  • Organize and manage your video assets so nothing gets lost in the media library.
  • Hit deadlines without sacrificing quality, because our clients don't do "fashionably late."

This Role Is for You If...

  • You dream in timelines and think "sync audio" deserves its own bullet point.
  • You've got pro-level chops in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe After Effects.
  • Your portfolio makes us say "wow" and showcases your storytelling flair.
  • You know how to pace a narrative and craft visual arcs that keep viewers glued to the screen.
  • You're a team player who can flex to client brand guidelines and feedback without missing a beat.
  • You're detail-obsessed - no rogue jump cuts or off-beat audio on your watch.
  • Bonus points if you can take an afternoon of raw open-house footage - finger paint, sticky hands, and all - and turn it into a 30-second reel that makes parents hit "enroll now."

What You'll Get

  • Flexibility: 40 hours per week, remote-friendly schedule.
  • Competitive Pay: Based on experience, your skill set deserves it.
  • Room to Grow: Professional development, workshops, and mentorship.
  • A Creative Culture: A collaborative team that values your input (and your memes).

Logistics

  • Location: Remote (work from wherever you get your best creative flow).
  • Hours: 40 hours/week.
  • Compensation: $2,500 per month.
  • Start Date: ASAP, our timelines wait for no one.

Why This Matters

You won't just edit clips, you'll shape the stories that help families find the right place for their kids, fill classrooms, and grow real businesses. If you're tired of mundane projects and crave a role where your edits really matter, this is it.
