Details

Company: FUBAR Radio
Position: Video Editor (Social Media Team)
Salary: £35k+ Depending on Experience
Location: Hybrid (London)
Contract: Full‑time Employee.

As we enter a period of rapid expansion, we are looking for a Social Media Video Editor who can cut through the noise, capture “lightning in a bottle,” and transform it into the viral moments that build a brand presence, that is both undeniable and relentless.

More about FUBAR

We are Britain’s biggest live podcast network, creating audio and video content exclusively for the Gen Z demographic. For more than a decade, we’ve built a reputation for being unfiltered, irreverent, and consistently ahead of the curve.

While the big players scramble to retrofit youth appeal, FUBAR has already spent ten years embedded in Gen Z culture—operating under the radar, building trust, developing talent, and growing with this generation from their teens into adulthood.

This is the foundation you’ll be joining: a brand that didn’t chase Gen Z… we grew up with them.

And now, everything is about to scale.

In a game‑changing move, we’re preparing for a major relaunch as we go live on national DAB Radio—an incredibly rare milestone in the media industry that marks our evolution from digital pioneer to national powerhouse.

The viral clips you create will not follow cultural conversation; they’ll start it.

Why Join the Crew?

Working at FUBAR is not simply another role—it’s an opportunity to be part of a fast‑rising media organisation at a pivotal moment in its growth. We are a focused, ambitious, and highly collaborative team that takes pride in the work we create and the culture we’ve built. Our lean, agile structure means your ideas won’t be diluted by layers of hierarchy; the impact of your work will be visible, immediate, and central to shaping the next generation of UK media.

Industry leaders have identified FUBAR as one of the most significant emerging forces in the sector and joining us now offers a rare chance to accelerate your career as the organisation expands onto a national stage. If you want to contribute to a brand on the brink of major transformation—and be able to say you played a part in its rise—this is the moment to step in.

Your Role

Your remit is clear: elevate FUBAR’s social presence to industry‑defining levels. You will identify, refine, and shape moments that do more than attract views—they cultivate a loyal, highly engaged audience. Your work will transform raw footage into culturally relevant, platform‑ready content that drives conversation and accelerates brand growth.

In this role, you will serve as the vital connection between long‑form storytelling—across live radio, podcasts, and YouTube—and the fast‑moving, highly competitive world of social media. You will develop original, distinctive, and strategically driven ideas that attract new audiences into the FUBAR ecosystem and reinforce our position as a leading voice in youth‑focused media.

Who You Are:

You don’t simply use social media—you understand its language, its pace, and its cultural signals. You have an intuitive grasp of TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts that goes beyond surface‑level trends
You track the lifecycle of online culture with precision: what peaked yesterday, what is accelerating today, and what is poised to break through next week
You have no interest in being in front of the camera. You’re not an aspiring influencer or presenter—but you are the creative architect behind the scenes. You want your work to be recognised, not your face
You understand that the difference between “good” and “exceptional” often comes down to a filmic style, a perfectly timed sound effect, or a deliberate social media design choice
You can distil a 60‑minute conversation into a 30‑second moment that stops a viewer mid‑scroll and compels them to engage
You can generate original, platform‑native ideas outside the studio that drive new audiences toward our content ecosystem
You can create highly engaging trailers of FUBAR’s programming that will drive a new audience.

Your Toolkit:

A sharp editorial instinct that allows you to identify high‑potential clips within hours of receiving raw footage
Expert‑level editing skills, with an ability to produce content that feels cinematic, polished, and premium
You will have a proficiency in motion graphics for television or similar level experience that can sprinkle a level of pizzaz across your work
An ability to shoot original location-based video content would be a distinct advantage. Therefore, a confidence around cameras and lighting, with an ‘eye’ for a good shot would be equally advantageous
The ability to storyboard/script and conceptualise social‑first ideas from scratch
A meticulous eye for detail—so much so that you’ll reference the word ‘orange’ in your cover letter to demonstrate that you have read this detail
Proficiency across industry‑standard platforms and software, including TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, (Avid, Final Cut or similar), DaVinci Resolve, or similar tools. Experience with After Effects or advanced motion graphics is a strong advantage.

Key Responsibilities:

In collaboration with the producer, you will review long‑form recorded studio content and extract high‑engagement, platform‑ready clips
Edit, caption, and optimise video content for vertical formats (9:16) across multiple social platforms
Create original social clips that subvert existing contemporary footage in order to tell a story
Collaborate closely with the Social Media Manager to refine and evolve the brand’s visual identity.

What You Get:

Competitive salary and comprehensive employee benefits package
Flexible hours and hybrid working arrangements
The opportunity to work alongside a talented, driven, and collaborative team
Full ownership and creative autonomy over your work
A rare chance to shape a brand evolving into a nationwide cultural identity.
