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 grading (a plus if not primary tool)
Strong grasp of pacing, storytelling structure, and rhythm in editing
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
Familiarity with Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator for thumbnail and graphic asset creation
Understanding of YouTube/TikTok/Instagram algorithms and content optimization
Experience with subtitle/caption tools and localization for multilingual content
Prior experience in an agency, media house, or fast-paced content team

What We’re Looking For (Beyond the Checklist)
A reel that shows range — not just technical competence, but creative instinct
Someone who can take a vague brief (“make it feel exciting”) and deliver something on-brand
Comfort working fast for social content while still nailing quality on bigger campaign pieces
A collaborative mindset — you’ll work closely with creators, marketers, and designers daily
