- Role: Video Editor for Socials
- Employment Type: Full-time (5.5 days/week - Alternate Saturdays are working)
- Compensation: Highly competitive, open, and flexible based on the caliber of the candidate
- Experience: 2-5 years in an Agency / Production house / Consumer brand

The Mission We are looking for a sharp, high-taste Social Media Video Editor who doesn't just cut clips but masterfully crafts short-form visual stories. You are the modern post-production wizard who understands that on socials, the first 3 seconds dictate everything. You are a deep executioner who gets their hands dirty in the details of pacing, sound design, visual flow, and internet culture. We don’t want abstract, slow-paced cinematic editors; we need someone who understands new-age visual hooks, retention curves, and how sharp editing directly translates into growth metrics, brand optics, and consumer action. You will work closely with our Creative Director, Founder, and Lead Writer to bring high-octane visual ideas to life.

Our Story Kilrr is disrupting the historically slow-moving Indian spice market. We have broken out of a traditionally dull category by building intense product love and executing a high-octane brand play. Backed by premier consumer venture funds like DSG Consumer Partners, our recent appearance on Shark Tank India proved that we are one of the hottest, fastest-growing D2C consumer brands in the country.

Our internal creative benchmark is exceptionally high. We run a lean, high-velocity internal studio environment.



We value collaboration over ego - our team possesses strong tastes in the content space, and you will work flexibly alongside them to bounce, refine, and supercharge ideas into viral consumer pieces.

Our category requires quick visual impulses, instant brand love, and deep internet cultural relevance. You must bring high aesthetic taste developed in a fast-paced creative agency, an indie production house, or by running your own high-growth social channels.

Who We Are Looking For -

- The Social Native: You live and breathe social media content. You know what formats are trending before they hit mainstream adoption.
- Pacing Master: You know exactly when to cut, when to hold, and how to use audio to manipulate viewer attention spans.
- Technical Generalist Mindset: While you are an expert editor (Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut Pro), you also possess a functional understanding of camera work, lighting, and framing.
- Ego-Free Collaborator: You bring immense individual taste to the table but are flexible and excited to co-create with other strong creative minds.

Your Core Responsibilities

- Social-First Editing: Own the complete editing pipeline for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and emerging social formats, ensuring every frame is optimised for retention and maximum visual hook impact.
- Sound & Narrative Design: Lead the audio strategy for edits, utilising sound design, trending audio tracks, sound effects, and voiceovers to create a crisp, high-retention auditory experience.
- Visual Assets & Motion Graphics: Incorporate tight transitions, text overlays, kinetic typography, dynamic split-frames,



and subtle motion elements that match Kilrr's high-octane brand energy.
- Cooperative Post-Production: Work hand-in-hand with the Creative Director and Founder to translate scripts and raw footage into premium, sharp final screens.
- Analytics-Driven Iteration: Regularly review content performance metrics (retention charts, drop-off points) alongside the Social Media Analyst to structurally improve pacing and hooks in future edits.
- Asset Management: Maintain an organised, rapid-access media library of raw footage, sound effects, templates, and B-roll to enable hyper-fast turnaround times.

How will your first 90 Days look - First 30 Days: Alignment & First Cuts

- Absorb Kilrr's brand assets, tone of voice, visual identity, and product line.
- Establish a seamless, rapid asset-sharing and feedback workflow with the Creative Director and lead writer.
- Take full post-production ownership and successfully deliver your first 10 high-impact short-form video edits.

Day 31 to 60: Visual System Ownership

- Introduce fresh editing styles, templates, or visual hook frameworks that noticeably boost early retention rates.
- Completely own the post-production velocity, ensuring all routine content deliverables are completed ahead of schedule to alleviate tactical execution stress from leadership.
- Collaborate on building a reusable toolkit of sound effects, fonts, and motion graphics specifically tailored for Kilrr.

Day 61 to 90: Optimised High-Performance Output

- Consistently output highly polished, engaging, and predictable edit volumes that match our monthly content calendar requirements.
- Incorporate quantitative data from metric reviews to actively fix drop-off trends, raising average watch time across our primary social video handles.
- Assist the creative team in conceptualising post-production plans for documenting upcoming physical, on-ground experiential brand events.
