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.

• 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

• Experience editing for multiple platforms and formats (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) and understanding platform-specific best practices
• Basic sound design and audio mixing skills
• Strong organizational skills — able to manage multiple projects and tight deadlines simultaneously
• A portfolio or reel demonstrating range across content types (social, ads, brand films, etc.)
• Excellent attention to detail and a strong eye for visual quality.

Preferred (Nice-to-Have) Qualifications:

• Experience with motion graphics/animation (After Effects, Cinema 4D)
• Photography or videography/cinematography skills (able to shoot as well as edit)
• Experience with **CapCut** or other mobile-first editing tools for fast-turnaround social content
