Video Editor

Full-time | Cape Town

• We are looking for an exceptional video editor.
• Seen TV is a decolonial media company telling the stories mainstream media ignores. We specialise in raw, mobile-first storytelling. This is NOT tv.
• This role is for someone with a distinct style and serious narrative instincts.

What You’ll Do

• Edit short-form and long-form videos that are built to be watched all the way through.
• Shape narrative. Pacing. Suspense. Emotional arcs. Comedic timing too!
• Collaborate closely with producers and creatives to push ideas further.
• Know when to cut hard and when to let a moment breathe.

What You Should Be Good At

• You are a narrative editor first.
• You have a unique style. Not templates. Taste.
• You understand retention, pacing, and why people stay.
• You do not rely on flashy effects to hide weak storytelling.
• You have work that has reached at least 1M views online

What This Is Not

• This is not a sizzle-reel job.
• This is not a flashy montage role.
• This is not about 8K cinematic footage.

How to Apply

Please keep this simple.

Send one link only.

Either

• One piece of storytelling you are proud of
• Or one video that reached 1M+ organic views on social platforms
• No reels or compilations kindly!
• If you are a serious editor with taste and narrative instinct, we should talk.
• We are Seen.
• Are you?
• Search Seen TV on Insta, Snapchat, Tiktok- wherever! You'll see what we do :-)
