About the role
We are not looking for someone who simply knows how to edit.
We are looking for a Senior Video Editor (YouTube) who can take a script or idea and figure out how it should be experienced visually: B-roll, a graphic, animation, a visual metaphor, a screen recording, AI-generated footage, a cinematic shot, or simply the creator on screen.
You will work with creators and writers from pre-production to final delivery on Sharique Samsudheen's flagship Malayalam YouTube channel (1.7M subscribers), shaping the story, visual language, pacing and execution of each video.
The goal: don't just edit the footage. Create the video.

• Own the creative and technical execution of long-form flagship Malayalam YouTube videos, including podcasts and interviews.
• Develop visual treatments, storytelling approaches and shoot requirements with creators and writers during pre-production.
• Turn scripts into compelling visuals using editing, B-roll, motion graphics, typography, animation, sound design, archival content and visual metaphors.
• Make strong calls on pacing, transitions,



composition, colour, typography, motion and visual hierarchy.
• Build an edit style native to how Kerala's Gen Z audience watches, shares and engages.
• Use AI and recent creative tools to prototype and produce visuals, audio and animation.
• Edit for YouTube retention: know when to speed up, slow down, build curiosity or break the pattern.
• Review retention, engagement and audience feedback and apply it to the next video.

Must-haves
• 3+ years of professional editing / visual storytelling with a strong long-form YouTube portfolio
• Professional fluency in Malayalam and a strong feel for Kerala's culture, humour and references
• Strong understanding of Gen Z behaviour and internet culture
• Advanced Premiere Pro; working knowledge of After Effects and/or DaVinci Resolve
