About the role :

We're looking for a Storytelling Video Editor with a filmmaker's eye , someone who doesn't just know how to edit footage, but knows how to see a story within the footage.

You should be able to look at a raw clip and quickly understand its potential: what the moment is saying, what it could feel like, what shots should come together, where the story should breathe, and how the final video should look and flow.

We're looking for someone who can think, visualize and create, not someone who simply follows an editing process.

Experience is not the deciding factor. Software expertise alone isn't either. We care more about your creative instinct, storytelling ability, visual thinking and the quality of your work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Turn raw footage into engaging, well-structured stories for long-form and short-form content.
• Watch footage with a story-first and visual-first approach, identifying the strongest moments, emotions and possibilities within the footage.
• Visualize the final edit while going through raw footage and quickly identify how a moment can be brought to life.
• Build narratives with a clear sense of beginning, progression, emotion and payoff.
• Create montages, sequences and visual narratives that communicate an idea without relying only on dialogue.
• Make strong decisions around shot selection, pacing, rhythm, timing and visual flow.
• Find creative ways to connect different shots and moments to make the story feel cohesive.

What we are looking for :

We're looking for someone with a filmmaker's eye and an editor's brain.

You should have:

• Strong visual storytelling instincts.
• The ability to look at footage and immediately see how it can be used.
• A strong understanding of composition, framing, movement, emotion and visual continuity.
• Excellent sense of pacing, rhythm and timing.
• The ability to create compelling montages and sequences.
• Strong understanding of how music, sound and visuals work together.
• The ability to make creative decisions quickly without needing every step to be directed.
• Strong attention to detail and a good understanding of what makes a visual moment interesting.
• Curiosity and creativity - you should constantly be thinking about how to make a scene better.
• A portfolio that demonstrates creative thinking and storytelling, not just technical editing ability.

Experience :

Experience is not mandatory. Skills and creative instinct matter more.

We're open to freshers, self-taught editors, freelancers and experienced professionals.

If you have a strong visual sense and can demonstrate that you know how to think through footage and create a story, we want to see your work.

Bonus if you have :

• Experience with YouTube / documentary-style storytelling.
• A strong understanding of cinematography and visual language.
• Experience creating cinematic sequences or branded films.
• Knowledge of motion graphics and animation.
• Strong sound design instincts.
• An understanding of audience retention and digital storytelling.

Selection Process:

Shortlisted candidates will be given a short assignment as part of our standard evaluation process.
