Senior Video Editor

About Swarna Bharat TV:

Swarna Bharat TV is a mission-led creative platform telling precise, high-quality stories on Bharat's history, culture, spirituality, and knowledge systems. Our YouTube channel is live with RashtraGaatha, and we're rolling out multiple original shows across formats. We combine research-first writing with cinematic execution and are preparing our originals for wider distribution, including OTT.

The Role:

We're hiring a Senior Video Editor - Lead to own story flow, pacing, and finishing across weekly originals. This is a hands-on role: you will personally cut flagship edits each week while coordinating with motion/AI editors for smooth delivery. Your focus is story, rhythm, structure, and reliable execution.

What you'll do -

1) Edit Leadership & Story

Lead weekly long-form edits (712 min) with strong 030s hooks, clear structure, and satisfying closes.

Plan A/B openings and improve pacing/VO from a retention lens.

2) Planning & Handoffs

Run a light Edit Board each week: lock sequence, assets, and timelines.

Keep project files clean (bins, naming, versioning); hand off clearly to motion/AI editors.

3) Packaging & Variants

Deliver main cut + social pull-outs/teasers; align with thumbnail direction.

Add temp sound design/music beds and ensure clean final output.

4) Quality & Iteration

Maintain export discipline (levels, captions, safe titles).

Turn analytics into one clear improvement in the next cut (hook, pacing, structure).

Must-haves
