Performance Video Editor

• Superside is looking for a Cape Town based Video Content Creator who is a content creator at heart, comfortable in front of camera, constantly watching ads, and genuinely excited by the challenge of making paid social videos that people want to stop and watch.
• We’re looking for someone obsessed with new video ideas: the person who sees a Meta ad, a LinkedIn post or a weird Instagram Reel and immediately starts deconstructing why it works.
• This is NOT a traditional video editor role. We need a hands-on creator who can help find the idea, shape the hook, appear on camera, storyboard the concept, support the shoot, and edit the final piece into something that feels sharp and native to the feed.
• You’ll work side by side with our Marketing Video Lead in Cape Town, tag-teaming concepts, shoots and edits in our dedicated studio and on location.
• Your main focus will be creating advertising and brand content for Superside, including UGC-style ads, skits, direct-to-camera videos, explainers, campaign content and quick creative experiments.
