About the opportunity
Swades AI is building a founder-led media brand around two Indian brothers building an AI business in New York City.
We are looking for a Senior YouTube Video Editor who has worked with a serious creator, influencer, celebrity, podcast, or founder-led channel. You should understand that great editing is not simply clean cuts, captions, and motion graphics—it is the construction of attention, emotion, clarity, and story.

What you will own
Edit founder stories, business videos, AI explainers, interviews, and documentary-style episodes.
Find the strongest narrative inside unscripted founder footage.
Build compelling openings without using misleading clickbait.
Improve pacing, clarity, emotional progression, and audience retention.
Identify and remove repetition, weak explanations, and unnecessary sections.
Use B-roll, music, sound design, graphics, screenshots,



and animation intentionally.
Collaborate on titles and thumbnail concepts before the final edit.
Create platform-native cut-downs for Shorts, Reels, and LinkedIn.
Review retention graphs and identify editing patterns that caused viewers to continue or leave.
Maintain organized project files, footage, versions, and feedback.
Help establish Swades AI’s editing language and visual system.
You are likely a fit if
You have edited for an established YouTuber, influencer, celebrity, podcast, or founder-led channel.
Your portfolio demonstrates storytelling—not only flashy transitions.
You understand hooks, open loops, pattern interruption, pacing, retention, and payoff.
You can edit fluent English content and understand Indian and international cultural references.
You have experience with founder, business, educational, documentary, or personality-led content.
You can explain why an edit worked usi
