We’re looking for a creative, detail-oriented Video Editor who understands how to turn raw footage into content people actually want to watch.

We work primarily on personal-brand content for founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and doctors , creating high-quality videos for Instagram, YouTube, and other social platforms.

This role is ideal for someone who doesn’t just know how to edit — but understands storytelling, pacing, retention, emotion, and what makes digital content perform.

What You’ll Be Working On

- Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
- Talking-head and personal-brand videos
- Storytelling and educational content
- Founder and entrepreneur-led content
- Podcast and interview-style edits
- YouTube long-form videos
- Repurposing long-form content into engaging short-form videos

Key Responsibilities

- Edit high-quality short-form videos for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
- Create strong pacing that keeps viewers engaged from the first few seconds
- Understand hooks, pattern interrupts, retention, and visual storytelling
- Add relevant B-roll, graphics, text, subtitles, sound effects, music, and transitions where required
- Maintain clean, premium edits without unnecessary effects
- Understand the speaker’s message and enhance it rather than overpowering it with editing
- Edit and structure long-form YouTube videos when required
- Identify strong short-form moments from longer recordings
- Follow different editing styles based on each client’s personality and audience
- Work closely with the content and creative team to execute the intended vision
- Organise project files and deliver work within agreed timelines
- Incorporate feedback efficiently while maintaining quality

What We’re Looking For

- Strong experience editing Reels, Shorts, and other short-form content





• Good understanding of long-form YouTube editing

• Strong sense of storytelling, pacing, and viewer retention

• Ability to understand both English and Tamil

• Good understanding of spoken Tanglish is highly preferred

• Strong attention to detail

• Good visual and creative judgement

• Ability to understand context, humour, emotions, and tone while editing

• Ability to work across different personal brands without making every video look the same

• Comfortable working in a quick-moving content environment

• Open to feedback and continuous experimentation

Software Skills

Proficiency in one or more professional editing tools such as:

- Adobe Premiere Pro
- Adobe After Effects
- DaVinci Resolve
- Final Cut Pro

Knowledge of motion graphics, colour grading, sound design, and basic graphic design will be an added advantage.

What Matters More Than Fancy Editing

We are not looking for someone who adds effects every two seconds.

We are looking for an editor who understands:

Where should the viewer look?

When should the cut happen?

When does a pause create impact?

Where is the video losing attention?

What visual actually adds to the story?

Good editing should make the content more powerful — not more complicated.

What Success Looks Like

Your edits should make people:

Stop. Watch. Understand. Feel. Remember.

And most importantly, stay until the end.

How to Apply

Please send us

1. Your portfolio / showreel
2. 3–5 of your best short-form edits
3. At least one long-form video you have edited, if available
4. Your current location
5. Current / expected compensation
