About the Role

We are looking for a highly creative and skilled Video Editor to join our content team. You will be responsible for crafting compelling short-form and mid-length video content across platforms — from social media reels to promotional videos and branded content. This role requires a deep understanding of storytelling, editing trends, platform dynamics, and cultural nuances to create content that drives engagement and delivers impact.

Key Responsibilities

  • Edit short-form and mid-length videos such as reels, social media ads, promos, and content explainers.
  • Implement engaging hooks, dynamic pacing, and a strong narrative rhythm to maximize viewer retention.
  • Tailor editing styles to suit platform-specific behaviors (e.g., fast cuts for Instagram, scroll-stopping openers for YouTube Shorts).
  • Enhance video quality through thoughtful color grading, text animations, transitions, and immersive sound design.
  • Collaborate closely with writers, designers, and creative leads to bring scripts and visual concepts to life.
  • Stay updated on current editing trends, meme formats, cultural references, and audio trends to keep content fresh and relatable.
  • Analyze ad performance metrics and apply learnings to improve edits for better click-through and completion rates.
  • Edit videos in the required language Marathi, ensuring linguistic accuracy, cultural relevance, and strong storytelling for the target audience.

Requirements

  • 1–2 years of experience in video editing for social media or digital content.
  • Proficiency in editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, or similar.
  • Strong portfolio of short-form content (reels, ads, promos).
  • Good understanding of social platform algorithms and engagement tactics.
  • Strong storytelling instincts, visual creativity, and sound design skills.
  • Language proficiency in Marathi & English and ability to edit in Marathi with cultural sensitivity and linguistic command.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with tight deadlines.
