Are you our next Editor Internship – University Placement

About the role

Sydney | In-office | Unpaid vocational placement

Life Under The Palms…

Two Palms Media is a culture-first, social-led creative agency making work for some of the world’s most exciting brands.We’re looking for an Editor Intern to join us in our Sydney office as part of a formal university or tertiary placement.

This one is for someone studying film, media, content production, editing or a related course who wants to take what they’ve been learning and see how it actually comes to life inside a fast-moving creative agency.

You’ll spend time with our Creative and Editing team, getting exposure to real briefs, real workflows and plenty of social-first content — from TikToks and Reels to longer-form video and everything in between.

Most importantly, this is a learning placement. You’ll be supported by our team, receive hands-on guidance and feedback, and get a proper look at how ideas move from brief → shoot → edit → out into the world.

What you’ll get exposure to

Depending on your course requirements and learning objectives, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Shadow and learn from our Editors and wider Creative team
  • Develop your skills across Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
  • Learn how we approach editing for TikTok, Reels, YouTube and other social platforms
  • Practise working with footage, sound, graphics, captions and motion
  • Learn how editors interpret creative briefs and brand guidelines
  • Sit in on creative reviews and see how feedback is applied throughout the edit process
  • Get exposure to our file management, versioning and post-production workflows
  • Join shoots where relevant and learn how content is captured with the edit in mind
  • Build your understanding of social trends, formats and what makes content actually stop thumbs
  • Receive feedback and mentorship to help develop your editing craft

About you

We’re not expecting a finished Editor — that’s kind of the point.

You might be right for this placement if you:

  • Are currently studying film, media, content production, editing or something similar
  • Have some foundational experience using Adobe Premiere Pro, with After Effects skills a bonus
  • Love social media and are across TikTok, Reels, YouTube, memes, trends and internet culture
  • Are curious, proactive and keen to learn
  • Take feedback well and aren’t afraid to ask questions
  • Have a good eye for detail, timing, sound and storytelling
  • Are organised, reliable and happy working as part of a team
  • Want genuine exposure to how editing and creative work happens inside an agency

A portfolio, showreel, uni project, TikTok account or examples of things you’ve made would be great to see — they absolutely do not need to be polished commercial work.

 

The important bit

This is an unpaid vocational placement, not an employment position.

To be eligible, you must be currently enrolled with an Australian university, TAFE or other approved education/training provider and completing the placement as a requirement of your course, subject or module.

Your education provider will need to approve the placement, and we’ll work with you and your institution to make sure the placement hours, learning objectives and structure align with your course requirements.

Because this is a learning placement, the experience will be structured around training, observation, mentorship and developing your skills alongside our team.

If your course doesn’t require or recognise an industry placement, unfortunately this particular opportunity won’t be the right fit.

 

Keen? Send us your CV, a little bit about yourself and, most importantly, something you’ve made – hello@twopalms.com.au.We’d also love to know what you’re studying, where you’re studying, and the placement requirements set by your course.Come spend some time Under The Palms 🌴
