About this Creative Video Producer & Editor (Remote) role at Much Better Adventures
We're a fast-growing B-corp marketplace for active outdoor adventures. We help people find and book the trips that change how they spend their time on the planet, and we direct money to small independent operators, local economies, and conservation work in the places those trips happen. 250+ trips across 60+ countries, 75% solo travellers, an excellent Trustpilot record, and a brand people genuinely love.
Video is central to how we grow, how we convert, and how we build a brand worth following. We're investing seriously in it - and this role sits at the heart of that.
What we're hiring for
We're hiring a Video Producer/Editor to work across two flagship content projects: an ambitious organic video initiative and on-site video. This isn't a "cut the footage we send you" role. We need someone with a genuine creative point of view, the technical craft to realise it, and the initiative to make things happen even when the raw materials aren't all there yet.
The organic video initiative is one of the most creatively interesting projects we've built - a video-first push to put MBA in front of adventure-seekers wherever they search and discover, across multiple destinations and topics. You'll draw on a strong asset bank and bring the resourcefulness to fill gaps when needed.
On-site video is about helping customers decide to book. We're building a range of video content across our trip pages that serves both conversion and search - everything from short sharp hooks to longer-form pieces that answer the real questions people have before they book. It's video with a job to do, and you'll understand exactly what that job is.
You'll report to the Head of Content, work 100% remotely, and collaborate closely with our content, creative, SEO, CRO and performance teams.
What you'll own
- Editing and producing platform-native video content for the organic video initiative, structured for search intent, watch time, and platform-specific performance
- On-site video across our trip pages - a range of formats and lengths designed to support customers at different stages of their decision, from awareness through to conversion
- Brand storytelling across explainers, community, sustainability, and how-to content - video that builds understanding and affinity with the brand
- Pre-production problem-solving: when a brief can't be realised with existing assets, you'll use your initiative and creativity to find a way forward - whether that's working with customers, hosts, guides, or our in-house filmer to get what's needed, or finding a smart creative workaround that gets the job done without it
- Motion graphics: clean, on-brand, purposeful animation that adds clarity and character - not templates
- Creative AI tools: actively integrating them into your workflow for ideation, motion, transitions, and production efficiency, with a clear view on where they genuinely add value and where they don't
- Occasional support across paid assets and organic social - we repurpose intelligently and everyone contributes across the board
What the work looks like
A typical week might involve finishing a cut for the organic video initiative in the morning, jumping on a brief for a new trip page video after lunch, and spending time in the afternoon working on motion graphic concepts for an upcoming campaign. Some weeks you'll be deep in the edit; others you'll be in pre-production mode - figuring out how to get a piece made when the footage doesn't exist yet.
You'll be working to briefs, but we expect you to push back, bring ideas, and make the work better than the brief imagined. The best people here don't wait to be told what to do - they spot the problem, propose the solution, and get on with it.
You'll work across a range of formats and lengths, always with an eye on hook quality, pacing, completion rate, and brand consistency. And because we repurpose intelligently, a single well-made asset can end up earning its keep across multiple platforms and placements - so making things that travel well matters.
Requirements
You'll probably recognise yourself in most of this:
Creative
You have a strong portfolio showing you can make video that does a job - not just video that looks good. Long-form and short-form, editorial and platform-native
- You have a genuine creative point of view. You bring ideas to a brief, not just execution
- Your motion graphics are clean, purposeful, and design-led. You don't reach for templates and you have a strong enough design eye to know when something isn't quite right
- You understand pacing, structure, and storytelling - and you know how to make the first few seconds count
- You can write video copy: hooks, on-screen text, scripts, and voiceover that are punchy, on-brand, and platform-appropriate. You can also write a clear enough brief that anyone you're working with knows exactly what you need
Technical
- Expert-level Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
- Strong working knowledge of the wider Adobe Creative Suite
- Comfortable with colour grading, sound design, and audio mixing
- Confident working with assets across multiple aspect ratios and platform specs without it slowing you down
- A working knowledge of video SEO - how platforms reward engagement, and how to structure content for watch time, completion, and discovery
AI and tools
- You're actively using creative AI tools in your workflow - for ideation, motion, transitions, and solving production problems. You stay current and you have a view on what's useful and what isn't
- You know where AI adds genuine creative value and where it doesn't. We don't use it to fake shots, people, or places - but we do use it to make the work better and faster
Mindset and approach
- You're proactive and self-directed. When a brief lands without everything you need, you don't wait - you problem-solve
- You have a test-and-learn mentality - comfortable shipping, iterating based on what you see, and applying those lessons to the next brief
- You're comfortable working with customers, hosts, guides, agencies and freelancers, and our in-house filmer to get what you need, and resourceful enough to find a creative workaround when you can't
- You manage your own time well, juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball, and flag problems early rather than late
- You take feedback well and give it clearly - you're collaborative without being a pushover about your creative instincts
Adventure knowledge
- You have a genuine interest in the outdoors and adventure travel, ideally because you do it yourself. You understand what questions someone has before booking a hiking trip, why the guide matters, and what makes a destination worth showing.
Benefits
- The warm fuzzy feeling that comes with knowing you are making a huge difference to small independent businesses, local economies, communities and conservation around the world
- 38 days holiday per year (inclusive of public holidays) - to be used when you like
- Competitive compensation aligned with UK market benchmarks and your level of experience
- Flexible hours setup (40 hours p/w) and a fully remote company
- Company-wide, adventurous meet-ups
- Experience what we do: everyone goes on a free trip within their first year
- A £500 annual travel voucher to spend on a trip or trips
- 30% employee discount, plus 15% friends and family discount
- Up to 8% matched contribution pension scheme (UK employees only)
- Fully comprehensive AXA private healthcare scheme (UK employees only)
- Life Assurance (UK employees only)
- Budget to set up a remote working space and access to co-working spaces
- Supportive maternity and paternity pay: 16 weeks full pay if you're the primary caregiver, 4 weeks full pay if you're the secondary caregiver
