Reports to: Head of Editorial

Cut the Stories Behind Southeast Asia's Deals.

Rocket Equities is a Southeast Asia-focused investment bank running live M&A;, capital raising, and strategic advisory mandates across the region. The work is genuinely interesting and almost all of it currently lives in decks, spreadsheets and data rooms. We're building a content function to change that.

This role is the post-production half of that team. A content creator in Manila handles ideas, shoots and the fast reactive posts. You take everything heavier — long-form pieces, client films, recurring IP formats — and turn raw footage into something worth watching.

The Role ?

You'll work with our Head of Editorial and our Manila-based content creator on a steady weekly slate. Expect footage from client sites, interviews and talking-head pieces, with a brief attached and the story intent already discussed.

There's no template library yet and no established house style. You'd be building the motion language, the title systems and the standards the function runs on.

What You'll Do ?

- Edit long-form and flagship content — client films, interviews, explainers and recurring IP formats, cut for YouTube, LinkedIn and Instagram
- Shape pacing and structure in the edit — find the tightest version of a story, cut what doesn't earn its place, and build hooks that hold attention
- Produce motion graphics and animated data — lower thirds, charts, transitions and title systems that look considered rather than stock
- Build and own our visual style — templates, typography, motion language and the standards every video follows




- Handle finishing — colour, audio clean-up, subtitles and platform-correct exports, so nothing goes out looking rough
- Run the asset pipeline — project files, versioning, media libraries and archives, organised enough that someone else could find things
- Turn work around on a deal clock — hit agreed delivery dates and flag slippage early rather than at the deadline

Who You Are ?

- 2+ years editing for brands, agencies, media or creators, with a reel that shows range rather than one repeated format
- Strong in Premiere Pro or Final Cut, and capable in After Effects or equivalent for motion graphics
- You cut for attention — you can explain why a video works in terms of its first three seconds, not just its visuals
- Graphic design instincts — typography, layout and colour discipline, even if design isn't your main title
- Comfortable working from someone else's footage and someone else's brief, and good at asking the question that saves a round of revisions
- Reliable asynchronously — you work across time zones without needing to be chased, with overlap into Philippine hours for reviews
- Comfortable with business and finance content, or willing to learn it fast enough to have opinions about how it should be told
- Robust English for written briefs, feedback and subtitling
- Based in India with your own editing setup and a stable connection

Why Rocket Equities ?

- Full ownership of the edit — not one slice of one workstream, and not a queue of template fills
- Creative freedom to define the visual identity of a firm that doesn't have one yet
- Real material to work with — live deals, founders and investors across Southeast Asia
- Fully remote, with a small team and short feedback loops
