Senior Video Editor

WE MAKE CARRY GOODS, AND WE TELL STORIES. LOTS OF THEM.

For over 15 years, video storytelling has been a signature of the Bellroy brand. From handcrafted stop-motions to day-in-the-life carry portraits, we’ve achieved this without big budgets, sprawling sets or lengthy client back-and-forth. Just a genuine appetite for good ideas. And the will to painstakingly make them happen, one frame after the next.

Now we’re seeking a Senior Video Editor to join Bellroy’s Creative team! We're looking for someone who can continue to push our creative boundaries and tell stories with soul, spark, and genuine visual impact. Working alongside a passionate team of writers, art directors, designers, photographers and producers to showcase the Bellroy brand to millions of eyes across the world.

You’ll take the reins on our video production across a variety of formats, from polished television commercials to short films to scroll-stopping social reels. You'll lead editing, grading, sound and motion while also supporting shooting and directing when it makes sense.

YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF…

You're an experienced Video Editor proficient at weaving together stories that get attention – from human-led moments to cinematic campaigns to technical product deep dives. 

You’re more than just a technician. You bring a perspective on storytelling and how to make your audience feel something. Whether that’s a useful insight, belly laugh or healthy dose of inspiration go see the world.

You’re a post production Ninja. Adept at switching between long and short form edits, colour grading, sound mixing and mastering, motion design and outputting for multiple platforms.

You crave being part of a broader team; working with writers on ad scripts, designers on motion titles, or photographers to sync on a colour treatment. At the same time, you have DOP’s on speed dial and a broad network of freelance collaborators to plug into when needed.
You bring originality, you question the formula and you're not here to play it safe. Optimistic. Resourceful. Compelling. Creative to your core. And you’re keeping a close eye on what’s next (including how AI is shaping creative work).

THERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU’D NEED TO HAVE…

• 5+ years experience in a senior video production role (agency, studio or in-house)
• Pro-level skills in editing (Premiere, Da Vinci or Resolve), colour grading, sound and motion (After Effects)
• A strong storytelling perspective. Your happy place is sitting in an editing suite with a writer, getting to the best bits of an interview or telling a travel story that takes the audience on a journey
• Experience in advertising, and how to create videos that get attention (and clicks) – whether that’s a 6sec bumper or 30sec TVC
• An appreciation of product design (or a similar space) that you like to go deep and geek out on. Unpacking how even the most seemingly mundane of things can peek interest if shared in interesting ways
• A clear perspective on how AI can elevate or streamline your work
• A collaborative spirit. You're a team player, not a solo act
• The ability to prioritise your own work, meeting project timelines and raising your hand when a task looks like it’s hitting a roadblock
• Optimism, curiosity and a can-do attitude that turns roadblocks into creative challenges.

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST MONTH, YOU MIGHT HAVE...

• Created a series of TVCs for an upcoming travel campaign. Helping shape the idea through from brainstorm to storyboard to the editing suite
• Collaborated with the Social Team on a snappy reel, playing with fun ways to hook someone in those first few seconds
• Directed a short film that goes behind-the-scenes of Bellroy HQ and how we think about design. Editing a 3min video for YouTube that then gets broken into smaller 15sec clips for social
• Put yourself in our customers shoes and to help them better understand our latest carry-on luggage. Creating an educational video showing how it can be packed, wheeled and repaired in a concise edit that’s optimised for e-commerce
• Co-piloted the strategy for Bellroy's YouTube channel, encompassing diverse content like designer deep dives, interviews, travel docos and how-to videos
• Experimented with a new AI VFX tool, demo’ing it back to the broader team thinking about ways to apply it
• Sat in a Writer’s Room session to generate weird and wacky ad scripts. Or brainstormed countless episodic ideas for Instagram or Tik Tok.

LOCATION AND HOURS

This role is full-time and based in our Melbourne studio (Collingwood), with hybrid flexibility. We shoot both in and out of the studio – some travel may be part of the fun.
