We are hiring a Video Editor who can turn raw footage into polished, cinematic stories using Adobe Premiere Pro. You will choose the strongest clips, shape them into a transparent narrative, set them to the right music, and finish each video with clean sound, considered colour and sharp typography so it looks and feels premium.

This role suits someone with solid fundamentals who cares about storytelling as much as the tools.

Key responsibilities

- Clip selection: Review raw footage and pick the shots that best carry the story, emotion and pace of each video.
- Storytelling and structure: Edit in a cinematic style, arranging footage in chronological order or, where the story calls for it, non-chronological order (flashbacks, teasers, parallel timelines).
- Music selection: Choose songs and background scores that match the theme and mood, drawing on both Bollywood and Hollywood references.
- Layering and masking: Build edits with multiple video, image and graphic layers, and use masking to isolate, reveal or transition between elements.
- Sound: Balance dialogue, music and effects, clean up audio, and add sound design so videos never feel flat or dull.
- Colour: Apply colour correction for consistent, natural footage, then colour grading to give the final video a premium, cinematic look.
- Typography: Design titles, captions, lower thirds and text animations that are readable, on-brand and current.
- External tools: Use supporting apps where Premiere Pro alone isn't enough, for graphics, motion, audio or mobile-first edits.
- Delivery: Export in the right formats and aspect ratios for each platform (YouTube, Instagram Reels, etc.), take feedback, and revise on time.
