The PITCH.
We are creators, creative industry rogues and stars. We are not just on the internet; we are creating the stuff the internet and the world wants to see. We’re curious, hungry and passionate about what we do - and the people we do it with. We move so fast and make so much good stuff it’s tough to keep up with. And we need more folks just like us, the unconventional, less-obvious, unseasoned (or over seasoned) creative pros. But above all - passionate makers and culture shakers.
Want in? We love subversive artists, obsessive makers, dedicated creators and we don’t care if you’re baby fresh to the workforce or working on your third act. What’s your hustle? Documentarian? DJ? Sports junkie? Fashionista? Blogger? Vlogger? Retired logger? Are you an Insta-fiend? An unabashed TikTokker? Or both? We’re down with all of that. Just as long as you love making and are really good at it.
Here’s where you come in…
- Create content that makes impactful connections with consumers, measured by high attention metrics (views, likes, comments, etc).
- Serve as an algorithm-fluent editor with deep expertise in hooks, pacing, structure, and retention across social platforms — the primary owner of DJ-ing, remixing, and optimizing content to drive scalable performance.
- Principally accountable for performance tuning and platform success, turning good content into scalable content through continuous optimization and creative iteration.
- Edit and assemble raw footage into polished final videos, ensuring assets are optimized natively for platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube — with a performance-creative mindset, not post-production only.
- Stay up to date with platform algorithms, emerging formats, creator trends, and editing techniques to keep content fresh, relevant, and competitive in feeds.
- Bring ideas to the table and participate in ideation, while recognizing that the core value of the role is making the work work through execution, testing, and optimization.
- Collaborate effectively with your teammates and cross functional departments on rapid fire requests and tight timelines.
- Attend creative brainstorms, kickoffs, and team meetings, contributing meaningful ideas and helping shape performance-driven strategy.
- Mentor Creators, and even in some cases Art Directors and Copywriters, on your team and across the agency; following the leadership of your A/CD, you help guide and educate on best practices, ideating, execution, and performance optimisation.
We treasure Personality and Experience yet we do know that these qualifications lead to what WE KNOW as a success:
- Highly proficient in NLE editing, grading and audio mixing using Premiere Pro.
- Experience in After Effects and how graphics fit into the post-production process.
- Experience in Photoshop, Adobe Creative Suite and/or Illustrator.
- Knowledge of Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve and audio editing is advantageous.
- Excellent communication skills with your colleagues to highlight challenges, offer creative solutions and make informed conclusions in a fast-paced environment.
- Exceptional project management skills and the ability to work at a fast pace.
- Ability to prioritise assets and deliverables.
- The capability to manage both internal and client feedback in order to exceed expectations.
- In-depth understanding of the whole post-production process.
- Ability to adapt your skills and approach to a broad range of project types from TVCs to social campaigns.
- Empathy with your co-workers in order to support them through the process.
- Bring your passion to work with you. As part of the creative team, we’re looking for someone who can treat every edit as an opportunity to make the best advert it can be.
- Sharing your passion and skills and learning craft from others - adding your ambition to that of the agency.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and German
What you’ll have
- 3 to 5 years professional creative experience, with a demonstrable passion for making creative content on a spectrum of media platforms - social, streaming, AR, music, film, interactive, etc.
- Proven experience as a video editor, preferably in advertising, digital media, or a related field.
- Advanced knowledge and proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop.
- Extraordinary content creation skills, capable of execution from start to finish, with a passion for various kinds of creative outlets including video and motion design
- Responsible, accountable, and self starter who demonstrates initiative
- Ability to collaborate with the individuals of an organization, fostering strong cross-functional teamwork and positive results.

What you SHOULD KNOW about VaynerMedia…
Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!
We believe 100% that brands can be built on digital platforms and part of our model is built bottom up, flipping the traditional advertising model and process on its head. We don’t play to agency/industry norms and our culture and energy reflects that.
Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.
