We are looking for a Senior Video Editor to lead the video editing workflow across our digital media platforms, including Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and YouTube long-form content.

The role requires someone who is not just technically strong at editing, but also understands storytelling, audience retention, social media trends, pacing, hooks, and digital content performance.

You will work closely with our Founder, Anchors, Researchers, Scriptwriters, and Social Media Team to turn scripts and raw footage into high-quality, engaging content.

- Create strong hooks and engaging openings to maximize viewer retention.
- Use appropriate B-roll, stock footage, graphics, animations, sound effects, music, captions, and visual elements.

- Stay updated with Instagram and YouTube editing trends, formats, and audience behavior.

What Makes This Role Different

We are not looking for someone who simply follows an editing brief.

We are looking for a Senior Editor who can look at a script or raw footage and think:

“How do we make this more engaging?”

You should be able to independently make decisions about where to cut, what visual to use, when to add graphics, how to build the hook, where the video slows down, and how to keep the viewer watching.

You will have significant ownership over the look, feel, pacing, and quality of our video content.

- Maintain high editing quality while working at scale.
- Consistently meet deadlines.
- Improve the visual quality and storytelling of our content.

- Build efficient editing workflows for high-volume content.
- Contribute creative ideas instead of only executing instructions.
