Job Description ABOUT
n Hack2skill is an innovation management platform that designs and runs large-scale hackathons, bootcamps, workshops, vibe coding challenges and more for some of the world’s biggest brands like Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Adobe, Meta, Intel, and more. We’ve trained 8 million+ innovators, partnered with 10,000+ institutes including IITs and NITs, and hold a Guinness World Record for the largest Agentic AI hackathon — 1,941 developers, 30 hours, one floor.
n The events we run are deeply technical in nature with developers & builders as our primary target audience. The video content we create lives alongside this world. It needs to speak to developers, students, and technical decision-makers, not a general consumer audience.
n
n THE ROLE
n
n What you’ll be doing:
n
n You’ll own the full video pipeline at Hack2skill. You’ll be working across multiple concurrent programs, each with its own identity, audience, and deadlines. You’re expected to move fast without cutting corners.
n
n Short-form videos — Reels, Shorts, Stories, WhatsApp broadcasts
n n Edit and create short-form videos (15–90 seconds) for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and WhatsApp broadcasts
n Hook-first editing — the first 3 seconds need to earn the next 30. Every frame earns its place.
n Registration countdown videos, program teasers, speaker reveals, leaderboard highlights
n Cut-downs from longer event footage repurposed for social feeds
n Quick turnaround — same-day or next-day delivery expected for time-sensitive content
n n
n Long-form narrative videos — Event films, program stories, impact recaps
n n Produce 3–5 minute narrative films for hackathon events, program launches, and annual impact recaps




n Structure a story arc from raw footage: problem → energy → build → outcome → emotion. Not just a montage.
n Interview-driven content featuring participants, mentors, and client-side partners
n Write or closely collaborate on scripts and voice-over copy where needed
n End-to-end ownership: briefing, rough cut, feedback loops, final delivery
n n
n GIFs & motion graphic videos — Animated content for social and web
n n Create looping GIFs for social announcements, countdowns, and program milestones
n Design and animate motion graphic videos: stat reveals, timeline animations, data visualisations
n Build lower-third animations, kinetic typography, and branded transition sequences
n Animate social media story templates and reusable motion assets for the team
n Output optimised files for web (GIF under 8MB), social (MP4), and email embeds
n n
n Post-event videos — Recap, highlights, winner stories
n n Edit live-event highlight reels within 24–48 hours of event wrap — fast turnaround is non-negotiable
n Create winner announcement and awards ceremony cuts for social and press
n Build longer event recap films (5–10 mins) for client reporting, LinkedIn, and platform use
n Capture the atmosphere: the 2 AM coding session, the mentor huddle, the winning reveal — these moments tell the story




n Coordinate with photographers and on-ground team to ensure footage coverage is brief-ready
n n
n Product & platform videos — Feature walkthroughs, explainers, onboarding
n n Create screen-recorded + narrated explainer videos for Hack2skill’s platform features
n Produce onboarding videos for participants, organizers, and enterprise clients
n Animate product flows and feature announcements for launch campaigns
n Keep a library of reusable platform footage, assets, and template segments
n n
n REQUIREMENTS
n
n What we’re looking for:
n
n Must-haves
n n 2-5 years of professional video editing experience (agency, in-house, or freelance)
n A portfolio with at least one short-form video, one long-form narrative piece, and one motion graphic or animated video
n Proficiency in Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut Pro for editing
n Working knowledge of After Effects or an equivalent motion tool for GIFs and animations
n Strong instinct for music selection, audio mixing, and sound design
n Experience delivering multiple video formats in parallel across different content tracks
n Ability to manage your own project queue without hand-holding
n n
n Valuable to have
n n Experience editing content for technical audiences (developer communities, edtech, B2B SaaS)
n Comfort with on-ground filming at live events (camera handling, basic lighting awareness)
n Familiarity with AI tools for editing, captioning, or rough-cut generation
n Basic graphic design sensibility — you’ve worked in Figma or Photoshop alongside your editing work
n YouTube channel or social page where you’ve published your own work
