About the Role

We are looking for a creative and fast Video Editor who can turn raw footage, ideas, and scripts into engaging short-form content for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other social media platforms.

What You’ll Do

- Edit Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, promotional videos, ads, and other social media content.
- Turn raw footage into high-retention short-form videos.
- Add captions, subtitles, animations, transitions, sound effects, music, B-roll, and other elements wherever required.
- Create strong hooks in the first few seconds of videos.
- Maintain fast pacing and remove unnecessary pauses or boring sections.
- Understand scripts and identify the most important moments to emphasize.
- Create different editing styles depending on the brand, audience, and content objective.
- Repurpose long-form videos into multiple short-form pieces of content.
- Work closely with the content and marketing team to understand the purpose of each video.
- Take feedback quickly and make revisions.
- Stay updated with current social-media editing trends, formats, hooks, transitions, and storytelling techniques.
- Maintain organized project files and deliver videos within deadlines.

What We’re Looking For

Must Have:

- Good command of Adobe Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve / Final Cut Pro or similar editing software.
- Basic knowledge of After Effects or motion graphics is a plus.




- Solid understanding of Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
- Good sense of timing, pacing, music, typography, and visual storytelling.
- Ability to create engaging captions and text animations.
- Ability to work quickly without compromising quality.
- Strong attention to detail.
- Willingness to experiment with new editing styles and formats.

Bonus Skills

- Motion graphics
- Advanced After Effects
- Color grading
- Sound design
- AI video/editing tools
- Thumbnail design
- Basic understanding of social-media marketing
- Understanding of retention, hooks, CTR, and engagement metrics

What We Expect

We don't want someone who simply follows editing instructions.

We want someone who can look at a piece of content and think:

“How can I make this more interesting?”

You should be comfortable suggesting:

- Better hooks
- Different cuts
- Better pacing
- Text placement
- Visual effects
- B-roll
- Sound effects
- Different ways to present the same idea

Performance Expectations

The selected candidate will be expected to consistently deliver high-quality content on time.

Speed + Quality + Creativity + Consistency are all important for this role.

Candidates may be given a short paid/unpaid editing test during the hiring process to evaluate editing quality and creativity.

- Your CV/Resume
