Bangalore | Full time | 1 to 4 Years Experience

English, Hindi & Kannada

If you can find the 5 seconds everyone needs to see, read on.

You know when a 30 minute speech has one moment worth watching?

We’re looking for a Video Editor who can find it, cut it, and make people stop scrolling.

This isn’t just about knowing Premiere Pro.

It’s about having the editing instinct to know what stays, what goes, where the cut lands, when the music hits, and what keeps someone watching.

You understand political storytelling, short form content, internet culture, and how content moves online.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Edit political content for Instagram Reels, YouTube, Facebook, X & WhatsApp
- Turn speeches, interviews, rallies, event footage, explainers and campaign videos into sharp, engaging, platform native content
- Watch long form footage and identify the strongest hooks, moments and soundbites
- Create cuts, transitions, subtitles, text animations, graphics, motion and visual effects that add to the story
- Get the pace, context and visual language right for every platform
- Adapt videos across different formats, durations, aspect ratios and languages
- Work closely with writers, graphic designers, photographers, strategists and campaign teams
- Handle multiple edits and priorities without letting quality or attention to detail slip
- Deliver high quality work on tight deadlines

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- 1 to 4 years of experience as a Video Editor, preferably in political campaigns, digital media, advertising, news or other high volume content environments
- Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects
- Knowledge of DaVinci Resolve is a plus
- Solid understanding of Reels, Shorts, YouTube and social first video
- Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, music, typography and visual composition
- Ability to take raw footage and figure out what the story actually is
- Ability to work quickly in a fast moving, deadline heavy environment
- Strong command of English,



Hindi & Kannada, including the political and cultural context behind the content
- Comfortable making creative decisions independently and adapting to changing priorities

WHAT WILL SET YOU APART

- You’ve edited political campaigns, news or public facing content before
- Strong motion graphics and animation skills
- You understand internet culture, memes and emerging formats
- You have a sharp eye for colour, sound design and visual storytelling
- You can spot a killer clip before someone has to tell you it’s a killer clip
- Your portfolio demonstrates social first editing instincts, not just technical skills

THE SKILL WE’RE REALLY HIRING FOR

Editing judgement. Knowing that the 30 minute speech has one line that changes everything.

Knowing when to cut.

Knowing when to hold.

Knowing when the music should hit.

Knowing what makes someone watch till the end.

We’re hiring the person who knows:

“This is the moment.”

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

This is not: Import footage make cuts export next.

Politics moves fast. News breaks. Narratives change.

A clip that matters at 2 PM might be irrelevant by 6 PM.

You’ll need to work with speed, pressure, ambiguity and real time creative decisions.

WHY JOIN US?

You’ll work at the intersection of politics, video, culture and the internet. You’ll work alongside campaign strategists, writers, designers, social media teams and political professionals, creating content that is actually part of the conversation.

Your edits won’t just sit in a folder.

People will see them.

Bonus points for:

- 3 to 5 edits you’re genuinely proud of
- Political, news, advertising or digital campaign work
- Anything that demonstrates your editing instinct, storytelling ability and creative judgement

If you can take raw footage, find the story, and turn it into something people actually want to watch, we want to see your work.
