Reel Editor / Short-Form Video Editor
Full-Time | Gandhinagar, Gujarat
Role Summary
We're looking for a Reel Editor who understands short-form content and knows how to turn raw footage into scroll-stopping videos. This role is primarily focused on editing reels, shorts, and vertical videos for social platforms.
From time to time, you'll also support long-form content such as YouTube videos, interviews, podcasts, or branded pieces, so a solid foundation in standard video editing is important.
You'll work closely with our digital strategists, producers, and designers to execute content that follows trends, strong hooks, and platform-specific pacing. The goal is simple: create edits that hold attention and perform. This is a full-time, in-office role based in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, working primarily on content for US-based brands and American audiences.

- Ensure continuity, clean audio, and logical storytelling in long-form edits

- Maintain brand consistency across all edits

- After Effects (basic to intermediate preferred)
Experience & Qualifications
- 13 years of editing experience preferred (short-form focus)
- Strong portfolio required (reels, shorts, and any long-form samples)
