Description

Create native, high-retention TikTok content for multiple brands. Full-time role, $2,200 - $3,000 per month We’re Nonsensical, a creative agency that lives and breathes TikTok. Everything we do is focused on making content that feels native, fun, and impossible to scroll past. We work with brands, creators, and teams who want to show up on TikTok in a smarter, fresher way - and we help them do it with edits that cut through the noise. We move fast, experiment often, and keep things human. We shout people out when they win, we run weekly all-agency wrap-ups so everyone stays connected, and we hand out a paid award every week to someone who lived our values: honesty, passion, and being creative and curious. If you want a place where good work gets noticed and good energy spreads quickly, you’ll feel right at home here. We’re looking for a Senior TikTok Video Editor - someone who lives on the platform, understands what makes people stop the scroll, and can turn raw footage into high-performing edits across multiple brands. You’re the type of person who can take messy creator clips, rough scripts, or half-formed ideas and turn them into content that feels fast, native, and genuinely entertaining. Your main responsibilities will be: 🔥 Edit high-performing TikTok-first videos across multiple brands 🔥 Turn raw creator footage into platform-native, optimised content 🔥 Add captions, graphics, hooks, sound design, and TikTok-style pacing 🔥 Work with UK-based producers to refine scripts, storylines, and cuts 🔥 Maintain high quality and ensure every edit feels “Nonsensical-level” 🔥 Hit tight deadlines without losing creativity 🔥 Manage several projects at once and stay in sync with our content calendar 🔥 Occasionally advise creators on best-practice filming approaches Working hours: full-time, 9:00–17:30 UK time. You’ll report to our Head of Content. At the moment that’s Sarah - she runs a TikTok page about the West Midlands. She’s transitioning into a new role and we’re finalising her replacement, but you’ll be joining a team that values clarity, creativity, and a good laugh. Here are the must-haves: ✅ 2+ years editing TikTok-first vertical videos (agency or creator background) ✅ Expert in CapCut and Adobe Premiere Pro ✅ Strong instinct for TikTok pacing, hooks, retention, and storytelling ✅ Able to turn mediocre footage into great content ✅ Experience editing for multiple brands or creators at once ✅ Reliable, organised, and comfortable working asynchronously with a UK team ✅ Solid understanding of TikTok trends, transitions, and platform nuances Brownie points: ⭐ Motion graphics or light animation skills ⭐ Experience with influencers, UGC creators, or TikTok Shop content ⭐ Experience editing for US or UK audiences ⭐ Eye for thumbnails, captions, and wider creative ideas ⭐ Understanding TikTok Ads best practices ⭐ Ability to suggest new editing techniques or visual ideas The ideal candidate is detail-obsessed, proactive, calm under pressure, and creatively curious. They experiment often, stay reliable even on tight deadlines, communicate clearly, and handle quick feedback without drama. They understand TikTok culture inside out, love solving editing problems, and bring positive energy to every project.
