About the Role We're looking for a talented and detail-oriented Video Editor to join our creative team and help produce compelling, high-quality video content across social media, marketing campaigns, and brand storytelling. You'll take raw footage and transform it into polished, engaging videos — from short-form social clips to long-form branded content — while collaborating closely with content creators, marketers, and the design team to maintain a strong, consistent visual identity. This role is ideal for someone with a sharp eye for pacing and storytelling, strong technical editing skills, and the creativity to turn ordinary footage into scroll-stopping content.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit raw video and audio footage into polished, publish-ready content for social media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X), websites, and marketing campaigns

• Cut and assemble footage according to scripts, storyboards, or creative briefs

• Add motion graphics, text overlays, transitions, sound effects, and background music to enhance storytelling

• Color grade and color correct footage to maintain visual consistency across projects

• Sync audio and video, clean up sound (noise reduction, leveling, mixing)

• Repurpose long-form content into short-form clips optimized for different platforms (Reels, TikToks, Shorts)

• Collaborate with the content/marketing team to understand campaign goals and translate briefs into compelling visuals

• Manage and organize raw footage, project files, and media assets efficiently

• Stay current with video trends, platform-specific formats, and editing techniques (e.g., trending transitions, captions styles)

• Ensure all deliverables meet brand guidelines, platform specifications (aspect ratio, resolution, duration), and deadlines

• Incorporate feedback from stakeholders quickly and professionally through multiple revision rounds

• Archive and back up completed projects and source files systematically

• Occasionally assist with on-location or in-studio filming/shooting support (camera operation, lighting setup)

• Required Qualifications

• Diploma/Degree in Film Production, Mass Communication, Media Studies, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience/portfolio)

• 2–4 years of professional video editing experience (agency, in-house brand, or freelance)

• Expert proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut Pro

• Working knowledge of Adobe After Effects for motion graphics and visual effects

• Solid understanding of DaVinci Resolve or similar tools for color
