Step Into a Role With Purpose, Reach and Real Impact

The Marisa Peer Organisation is a globally recognised leader in personal development and therapist training. Through our content, programmes and platforms, we reach millions of people worldwide, helping them build confidence, improve emotional wellbeing and create lasting change.

As our content and audience continue to grow, we are investing in AI-powered ways of working to expand our reach across social platforms.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an AI-Powered Video Editor (Social and Podcast): a talented all-round video editor who also has specialist skills in creating and editing content for social media, and in turning long-form podcast episodes into high-performing social clips. You'll live and breathe social media and be genuinely excited by what AI can do.

This role has four main parts:

• Social content specialist - creating and editing long and short-form content built for social, with real viral potential, and packaging it for maximum engagement and conversion.

• Podcast editing and clipping - editing every full-length episode of Marisa's podcast, Your Mind, Your Rules, and converting them into scroll-stopping social clips, as well as coordinating guests and studio requirements.

• General video editing - editing paid ads, product launch videos, campaigns and wider marketing content.

• AI leadership - being the team's go-to person for AI, researching and sharing the latest tools and shortcuts to make everything from content planning to editing faster, simpler and smarter.

You'll understand that great social content isn't just about the edit. It's about the packaging: the hook, the caption, the cover, the format and the timing that get content seen, watched and acted on.

• Create video and content assets for product launches, programmes and promotions.

• Edit wider marketing content, including trailers, testimonials, website and email video.

• Build and improve AI-driven workflows across planning, scripting, editing, captioning and publishing.

• Use AI to understand and work with platform algorithms, from trend spotting to posting strategy.

• Find ways to make every stage of content production simpler, faster and more streamlined.

📊 Performance and Optimisation

• Analyse retention, watch time, engagement and conversion data.

• Review performance weekly and adjust content based on what the data shows.

• Drive follower growth, reach and audience engagement.

• Support lead generation and revenue through conversion-focused content.
