# VIDEO EDITOR – SOCIAL MEDIA & DIGITAL CONTENT

Zeltis works on communicating the Government of West Bengal’s schemes, initiatives, events and priority messages to the people of the State through simple, accessible video and graphic content.

We are looking for a creative and detail-oriented Video Editor who can bring those messages to life through strong visual storytelling.

The role goes beyond simply cutting footage or adding transitions. You will work with policy-led communication, government initiatives, public programmes, events, announcements and social media content, and turn them into videos that are clear, engaging, visually compelling and easy for a wide audience to understand.

The ideal candidate understands that effective public communication requires both creativity and responsibility. You should have a good eye for visual storytelling, understand how audiences consume content across digital platforms, and be able to translate a brief into a video without losing the accuracy or intent of the message.

At Zeltis, we value curiosity, clarity, creativity, speed and editorial judgement. We are looking for someone who can understand not just how a video should look, but also what it needs to communicate.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Edit short-form and long-form video content for Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and other digital platforms.

Create engaging Reels, Shorts, social media videos, campaign films, event videos, explainers, interviews and digital communication content.

Work with raw footage, interviews, event footage, photographs, graphics, voiceovers, scripts and other creative assets to develop polished videos.

Translate creative briefs and communication objectives into explicit and effective visual stories.

Work on content explaining government schemes, initiatives, programmes, events and public-facing messages, ensuring that the final video remains faithful to the approved brief and source material.

Understand the context behind a piece of communication and use editing, pacing, visuals, typography, music and sound to make the message accessible and engaging.

Create appropriate motion graphics, text animation, subtitles, transitions, sound design and visual treatments.

Ensure that videos are correctly formatted and optimized for different platforms, including vertical,



square and landscape formats.

Maintain consistency in visual identity, branding, typography, tone and overall presentation across different pieces of content.

Work closely with copywriters, designers, content teams and other members of the creative team to develop integrated digital communication.

Review source material carefully and flag any apparent inconsistencies, unclear information or issues that may affect the accuracy or clarity of the final video.

Incorporate feedback efficiently and deliver high-quality edits within deadlines.

Stay updated with evolving social media formats, editing styles, visual trends and audience behaviour.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

3–5 years of professional experience in video editing, digital content, media, advertising, communications or a similar creative role.

Strong working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve.

Working knowledge of Adobe After Effects will be an advantage.

Strong understanding of short-form content, particularly Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Strong sense of timing, pacing, composition and visual storytelling.

Ability to understand a brief and identify the most effective visual way to communicate its message.

Good understanding of typography, subtitles, text animation, music, sound effects and visual hierarchy.

Strong attention to detail and ability to identify inconsistencies in visuals, text, subtitles and other on-screen information.

Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.

Willingness to receive feedback, collaborate with different teams and refine work as required.

EDITORIAL MINDSET

We are looking for someone who takes an active interest in news, current affairs, public communication and the issues affecting people across West Bengal.





You should be comfortable working with information-heavy briefs and be able to distinguish between the message, the supporting facts and the visual treatment required to communicate it effectively.

You should have the judgement to know when an edit can be made more creative and when the communication requires greater clarity, restraint and accuracy.

The role requires someone who can make content engaging without sensationalising it, simplify complex information without distorting it, and create videos that are both visually strong and factually responsible.

GOOD TO HAVE

Experience creating digital content for government, public sector, media, advertising, communications or large organizations.

Experience working on government schemes, public initiatives, policy communication, campaigns or institutional communication.

Knowledge of motion graphics and animation.

Basic understanding of colour correction and audio enhancement.
