What does an Offline Editor do at WPP Production? 

We are looking for a talented Offline Editor with an eye for beauty and premium brand storytelling to join our post production team. In this role, you will be responsible for crafting compelling edits for high-end beauty and personal care campaigns — from raw footage through to a polished, client-ready cut. Working across shoots, stock, and illustration-based content, you will bring creative instinct and editorial precision to every project, helping shape the visual narrative that defines how beauty brands communicate with their audiences globally.

• Lay audio on soundtracks, ensuring sound and vision are in perfect sync throughout
• Prepare offline edits and submit for client approval, managing feedback rounds and implementing adjustments efficiently and accurately
• Prepare final copies for broadcasting, ensuring all technical and compliance requirements are met
• Insert film ID information on clapperboards and follow broadcaster-specific formats to ensure timely and compliant delivery
• Save and archive master files to the server in an organised and consistent manner
• Conduct reference research to inspire and complement creative editorial decisions, staying current with beauty advertising trends and visual styles

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere, including proxy workflows, media conversion, and all core editing functions
• Strong working knowledge of post production tools including Flame, Nuke, After Effects, Final Cut, Arnold, and Photoshop
• Solid understanding of cinematographic and editorial techniques as applied to beauty and commercial content
• Familiarity with a wide range of video formats and their appropriate uses across broadcast and digital platforms
• Proficiency in material conversion workflows to optimise for fluid editing — using Media Encoder, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent tools
• Experience with material selection, subtitling, clapperboard insertion, audio sync, and copy preparation
• Working knowledge of broadcaster delivery requirements, with experience ensuring compliance to avoid transmission failures
• Proactive, organised, and deeply committed to project deadlines and deliverables
• Strong communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills — comfortable working directly with clients and creative teams in attended sessions
• Resilient and adaptable under pressure, maintaining quality and composure across tight turnarounds
• Genuine commitment to continuous learning — staying current with evolving tools, trends, and best practices in post production and beauty advertising
