ABOUT THE ROLE

PPC Guru is hiring a hands-on short-form video editor to create high-retention videos for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, talking-head content, UGC-style creatives, and paid social advertising.

This is primarily an editing role. We are not looking for a social media manager, videographer, prompt-only AI creator, or long-form-only editor.

WHAT YOU WILL CREATE

- Talking-head videos with strong hooks, pacing, captions, B-roll, pattern interrupts, and sound design
- Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, and YouTube Shorts
- Paid Meta and social advertising creatives
- UGC-style, testimonial, educational, and promotional videos
- Voiceover-led videos using supplied footage, licensed stock, or approved AI-generated assets
- Multiple hook and creative variations from the same brief

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Turn raw footage, scripts, voiceovers, and briefs into polished 15–60 second vertical videos
- Build compelling first 1–3 seconds and maintain attention throughout the edit
- Add accurate captions, motion graphics, transitions, music, sound effects, audio cleanup, and colour correction
- Create alternate hooks, calls to action, and ad variations for testing
- Follow brand guidelines and feedback precisely
- Keep project files, footage, graphics, and assets clearly organized
- Deliver consistently within agreed deadlines and communicate progress clearly

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- At least 3 years of skilled video-editing experience
- A strong portfolio showing recent short-form work—not only a general showreel
- Proven experience editing talking-head videos, Reels/Shorts, and paid-social or UGC-style ads




- Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or an equivalent professional editor
- Ability to create clean captions, basic motion graphics, polished audio, and platform-ready exports
- Strong written English and reliable remote-team communication
- A suitable computer, dependable internet connection, and reliable availability
- Willingness to complete the same paid, time-capped editing test as other finalists

Generative-AI experience with tools such as Runway, Kling, Veo, Higgsfield, Sora, or similar platforms is helpful, but editing quality and creative judgment matter more.

WORKING HOURS

You must be available Monday through Friday for the full 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. US Eastern workday. In India, this is approximately:
- 5:30 p.m.–2:30 a.m. IST while the US observes daylight time
- 6:30 p.m.–3:30 a.m. IST while the US observes standard time The India schedule changes by one hour when the US changes its clocks.

COMPENSATION

₹5,00,000–₹6,00,000 annual CTC, based on demonstrated experience and portfolio quality. This is a full-time, dedicated role—not freelance or per-project work.

PORTFOLIO PROOF IS REQUIRED

Your resume or application must contain three direct work links:
- One talking-head Reel or Short
- One paid-social or UGC-style ad
- Your strongest additional short-form edit For each link, briefly state exactly what you personally handled. Applications without direct work examples, or from candidates who cannot accept the hours and compensation range, will not proceed.

Shortlisted candidates will receive the same paid editing exercise. Test work will not be published or used commercially without a separate agreement.
