UK-Based Video Producers & Editors

Mercor is recruiting UK-based Video Producers and Editors with experience at leading motion design and creative production studios for a research project with a leading frontier AI lab.

We are seeking two profiles: senior video/creative producers and video editors / multimedia designers with a proven track record of producing world-class commercial and brand film. We have a strong preference for candidates with experience at studios such as BUCK, Tendril, Future Deluxe, Hornet, Giant Ant, or Ordinary Folk. This role is specifically focused on video production and post-production — not brand identity or static graphic design. Candidates should have reels or portfolios that demonstrate excellence in commercial film, brand content, motion design, editorial, or campaign work.

Ideal candidates have experience with one or more of the following:

- Producing high-quality video and film for leading technology companies, global brands, startups, or cultural institutions

- End-to-end production: scoping, budgeting, scheduling, client management, and directing creative teams through delivery (producer track)

- Editing, motion design, and finishing in tools such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or Cinema 4D (editor track)

- Commercial, branded content, or campaign film production

- Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver polished, production-ready film and video

Preferred candidates have experience at one or more of the following studios:

- BUCK

- Tendril

- Future Deluxe

- Hornet

- Giant Ant

- Ordinary Folk

- Or another leading studio with an exceptional commercial and brand film portfolio

You'll help create, review, and evaluate high-quality video and motion work, leveraging your expertise in production craft, editorial judgment, and contemporary standards in commercial film and motion design. Strong candidates have experience working in professional studio environments and can critically assess the quality, pacing, and visual execution of modern video content.

Here are more details about the role:

- You will be contributing high-quality training data for frontier AI systems

- Successful contributions increase the likelihood of being selected for future Mercor projects

The vetting process involves:

- Resume and reel/portfolio review

- Short assessment evaluating video production expertise

Please note: Candidates must be based in the United Kingdom and have the right to work in the United Kingdom.
