Chipmunks Playland and Cafe, a premier venue for children’s playland and party experiences, is on the hunt for a gifted Video Editor. At Chipmunks, we’re deeply passionate about delivering fun and unforgettable experiences for children and their families. We are committed to ensuring our video content not only reflects our dedication to these experiences, but also captivates our audience with its compelling and engaging storytelling.

We have an untapped library of freshly filmed footage longing for a skilled editor to step in and transform it into content that sets us apart as the best in the business.

We invite you to join us during this critical and exciting phase in our journey.

About the Role:

• Transform raw footage into dynamic, engaging, and brand-aligned video content with a WOW factor.
• Collaborate with our head office team to ensure the final product aligns with our brand and goals.
• Deliver final video content in the required formats for their respective platforms.
• Reporting to the Operations Manager on how the project is progressing.

For this role, we will request all potential contractors to provide an estimate of the project cost. This will assist us in assessing and comparing the financial expectations and proposed scope of work from each applicant, helping us decide on the most suitable contractor for the project. This will happen after the initial chats and any questions have been answered from both sides.
