In-App Video Editor - 3 month FTC

About Mob

Mob is a rapidly growing cooking website + app with one key mission - to make weekly cooking fun, easy and delicious. We solve the common pain point of boring, time-consuming weekday meals by helping users create tasty, healthy dishes with minimal effort.

We are used by over 750,000 people spread across the UK, Australia & US, our ambition is to be the go-to app to optimise your cooking throughout the week.

Our data-driven, creative team collaborates daily to build features and recipes that ladder up to our mission. As a fast-paced start up, our core value is make it happen, succeed together.

What You'll Be Doing

We're looking for an In-App Video Editor to cut the recipe videos that fill our Inspire feed, turning our chefs' recipes into short videos that make people want to cook. This role is essential as we scale our video offering on the app.

You'll be one of the first people to work in our newly built, in-house AI video editing software. It assembles a first cut from raw footage and the recipe, and your job is to turn that into a polished, watchable video, and to tell us how the tool should improve. You'll be shaping a brand-new production workflow, not just using one.

We'll be upfront: this is not a highly creative editing role. Our Inspire feed videos follow a clear, step-by-step recipe format. If you're looking for experimental, social-first creative work, this isn't it. If you want to ship a serious volume of polished videos, get hands-on with genuinely new AI tooling, and gain solid experience at the UK's fastest growing recipe app, read on.

In a typical week you'll be:

• Using Mob's newly built video editing software to edit recipe videos for the Inspire feed end to end, from rushes to final cut, ensuring they're up to Mob's standard

• Managing your deadlines in Notion, working with our content coordinator on edit turnaround

• Delivering a steady volume of recipe videos to deadline without quality slipping

• Feeding back on our in-house editing tool, flagging any flaws so the software improves

What we'd expect you to have achieved in your 3 months with us:

• Produced a high volume of videos for the Inspire feed that are performing against our save and cook targets

• Become fluent in our in-house tooling and helped shape what it looks like moving forward

What You’ll Bring

You're early in your editing career but already fast and precise, with a real feel for short-form. You care about food, you notice when a cut lands, and you'd rather learn a new tool than complain about it.

• Fluent in at least one professional edit suite (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut or similar) and demonstrably quick to pick up unfamiliar software

• Comfortable with a high-volume, repeating weekly delivery schedule

• Attention to detail

• Process driven

• Comfortable experimenting with new tools

• AI savvy

It's a Bonus If You Have

• Experience with food or recipe content

You'll thrive in this role if you…

• Want to gain experience editing videos for the UK's fastest growing recipe app

• Communicate issues early and clearly
