Video Editor & AI Integration

HelloFresh's Performance Innovation studio is scaling a cross-channel video engine built on a single core principle: one production, many platform-native cuts. Post-production is where that model wins or stalls. This role is what makes it win. We're looking for a Video Editor who is AI-native by instinct, not just by familiarity: someone who reaches for GenAI tools (AI-assisted editing, voiceover, video generation) as naturally as a timeline. You will own end-to-end post-production for the paid social pipeline, drive the AI-integration layer across post, and operationalize the studio’s global footage library so markets can localize independently.

Manage multi-format, multi-market video workflow across delivery stages, partnering with the Senior Video Editor, Creative Strategy, and Production teams as needed.

Develop and adapt work from written and verbal feedback quickly and independently. Quality-check all video content against brand guidelines and platform specs before delivery. You Are... An AI-native editor who treats GenAI tools as core craft, not a novelty. A high-output editor who thrives on turning a single shoot into a volume of finished, platform-native assets.

An expert in Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Adobe Creative Suite; experience with apps like CapCut and other UGC content creator tools. Eager to try new things as the UGC market and trends evolve. Organized, self-starting, and reliable. You manage complex multi-market, multi-format workflows without dropping anything. A strong collaborator who can work across Creative, Creative Strategy, Production, and Brand teams and communicate clearly at all levels. Calm under pressure, professional, and positive when deadlines compress. Committed to on-brand quality at every stage of the editing process.
