Senior Video Editor

About Thrillophilia

Thrillophilia is building a world-class creative studio in Mumbai, and we're looking for a Senior Video Editor who can transform travel footage into content people can't scroll past.

This isn't just about cutting clips. It's about storytelling, emotion, pacing, internet culture, and creating videos that inspire people to travel and take action.

You'll create everything from Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts to cinematic destination films, creator-led content, paid ads, UGC videos, tourism campaigns, customer stories, and long-form YouTube content.

What You'll Do

• Craft compelling stories from raw footage with strong hooks and engaging pacing.
• Edit platform-native content for Instagram, YouTube, Meta, and other digital channels.
• Create multiple creative variations for testing and performance marketing.
• Collaborate with creators and marketers to improve engagement and conversions.
• Use AI tools to speed up editing, generate captions, organize footage, improve audio/video, create variations, and enhance creative workflows.

What We're Looking For

• 3–7 years of professional video editing experience.
• Strong portfolio featuring social-first, branded, travel, lifestyle, or creator-led content.
• Expertise in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and/or CapCut.
• Good understanding of color grading, sound design, typography, motion graphics, and After Effects.
• Strong grasp of Instagram, YouTube, and short-form content trends.
• Experience using AI tools such as Adobe AI, Runway, Firefly, Descript, ElevenLabs, or similar.
• Ability to balance creativity with speed, ownership, and business impact.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You

• Think like a storyteller, not just an editor.
• Know how to build attention-grabbing first three seconds.
• Understand audience retention, engagement, and performance metrics.
• Can turn imperfect footage into compelling content.
• Actively use AI to improve quality and efficiency.
• Take ownership, welcome feedback, and bring fresh creative ideas.

Success Looks Like

• High-performing content with strong retention and engagement.
• Fast turnaround from raw footage to final delivery.
• Creative testing that improves campaign performance.
• Efficient AI-powered workflows and consistent content quality.

Why Join Thrillophilia

Your work will be seen by millions of travelers across social media, creator campaigns, tourism boards, hospitality brands, and original Thrillophilia content. If you're passionate about storytelling, travel, and creating videos that drive real impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Please share:

• Your portfolio/showreel
• Five of your best edits
