Video Editor — FIKAR

? Mohali (Work From Office) | Full time

We're looking for an editor who gets that a cut isn't a transition — it's a decision. Every frame either earns attention or loses it.

What You'll Actually Do

- Cut long-form investigative videos, documentaries, interviews, and explainers for YouTube
- Turn research and field reporting into short-form content that stops the scroll — Reels, Shorts, X
- Edit political and election campaign content on tight, real-world deadlines
- Pull and integrate archival footage, maps, data visuals, news clips, B-roll
- Handle subtitles, basic motion graphics, and sound design
- Work directly with FIKAR's researchers, anchors, and designers — this isn't editing in a vacuum, it's shaping the story with the team building it

Non-Negotiables

- Premiere Pro — strong, fluent, no learning-on-the-job
- Fluent Punjabi — reading,



writing, speaking. This is a Punjabi-first newsroom.
- You know Punjab politics. Not passively — you'd know why a story matters before we tell you
- You can hold attention in the first 30 seconds, every time
- You're self-driven — we're small and fast, not a place that hands you a shot list

Good to Have

- After Effects / basic motion graphics
- DaVinci Resolve, colour grading
- AI-assisted editing workflows
- Camera/cinematography experience
- Prior work on news or political campaign content

Who Thrives Here

Curious. Rigorous. Fast. Detail-obsessed. Someone who can stay calm when the deadline is "tonight" and the footage just landed.
