Video Editor

About Us

Oddity is a Sydney based creative and production company that partners with in-house teams at brands and agencies to scale their video output. We know that in-house teams don’t often run out of creative ideas, they run out of resource - so Oddity exists to step in and protect that momentum, whether that be simply executing a team’s idea, handling just the post-production editing, or full service end-to-end production.

Since our inception just 12 months ago, we’ve completed projects with brands like Notion, Eucalyptus, Koh and Koala, as well as helped agencies like Thinkerbell, Host/Havas and Emotive bring their ideas to life. Our lean approach to production and systems that help scale output with less fluff keeps our clients coming back.

Role Description

We're seeking a talented Video Editor for an initial 3-month contract position with the opportunity to move to full time. This position can be totally remote, but the applicant must be available to work and attend meetings virtually during Sydney (AU) business hours and have a solid internet connection.

Here's what you'll be doing:

TL;DR - A typical week might look like this:

1. On a Monday we'll have a stand-up meeting via GMeets/Slack
2. You're assigned your briefs for the week via Notion cards.
3. Each brief has a link to a string out, which is all the footage cut together that you need to use in one long take, as well as a transcribed, time-coded script on what needs to be cut and when.
4. Each brief might contain 4-8 videos. Same overarching theme, just cut together differently.
5. You'll then take the string out footage, cut together the separate videos based on the script provided, add in cuts, zooms, and other B-roll for pacing purposes, and then add captions.
6. You'll then upload these to Frame.io for client review and then make amends as per client feedback.

Edit & Deliver

• Take raw footage and a basic transcript-based brief and turn it into polished platform-specific content with tight pacing, strong hooks, optimised for platform
• Output across formats (9:16, 1:1, 16:9)
• Own the full finishing stack: colour (basic), audio, captions, light motion graphics & SFX
• Strip long-form content (podcasts, interviews etc) down to their most shareable moments

Create for Impact

• Build complete stories in under a minute: hook, tension, payoff
• Adapt pacing, tone, and layout for different platforms and audiences without starting from scratch
• Keep brand voice and visual identity consistent across every edit

Edit for Performance

• Open hard - hooks and opening sequences that earn the next three seconds
• Make creative decisions with watch time, engagement, and conversion in mind
• Use performance data to sharpen your instincts and improve your edits over time
• Stay across trends, formats, and what's actually working on each platform right now
• Bring new creative approaches to the table - not just execution, but ideas that lift results

Qualifications

• Passionate about video editing for social - it's important to note this role is 100% video editing.
• Expert in your chosen NLE: Premier Pro or DaVinci preferred (due to existing workflows)
• Ability and knowledge to work with proxy/offline workflows
• Strong time management and organisational skills to handle multiple projects effectively
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work with creative teams and stakeholders
• Strong interest in building AI-enabled post-production systems that help scale output and make your job easier - not replace it.
