This role is a high-energy, fast-turnaround role focused on speed, productivity, and sharp editorial judgment. You will be responsible for identifying the most compelling visual moments across News, Foreign, Global Health, and Lifestyle beats, clipping them into highly engaging short-form content for homepage and articles.

This role will work with multiple departments across the newsroom, focusing on enhancing articles on the site and app with strong 20s clips. Topics will range from reacting to breaking news, covering live events and feeding into liveblogs and working with video producers to pull out strong visuals for the online article to their longform video packages.

Key Responsibilities

1. Fast-Paced Video Editing & Creativity
Editing: Efficiently cut, edit, and optimise 20-second video clips using Adobe Premiere Pro for digital articles and onsite placement.
