A little bit about you

We’re looking for a Senior Video Editor who can craft engaging video content across formats and platforms. From brand films and digital video ads to social media reels and long-forms, you’ll bring stories to life with sharp editing, motion graphics, sound design, and post-production polish.

While your core responsibility will be editing, you should also have a good understanding of videography to support shoots when needed. You’ll work closely with our in-house creatives — writers, designers, and DOPs — to ensure the final output is not just visually appealing but also aligned with business objectives.

Additionally, you must have hands‑on experience in AI video generation using tools like VEO 3, Sora, or other AI platforms. You’ll be responsible for owning the end‑to‑end AI content generation process — from creating ad films, voiceovers, and visuals to helping team members get proficient with AI tools.

Responsibilities

• Edit video content across various formats.
• Refine footage with cutting, color correction, sound design, transitions, and motion graphics.
• Interpret scripts and creative briefs to build engaging visual narratives.
• Support on video shoots when needed (camera operation, lighting setup, framing).
• Add motion elements (text overlays, animated graphics, effects) to enhance storytelling.
• Ensure platform‑specific edits are optimized for YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.
• Maintain organized project files, backups, and versioning workflows.
• Collaborate with the creative team on timelines, creative direction, and revisions.
• Edit raw footage into polished videos that align with project objectives, brand guidelines, and target audience preferences.
• Enhance videos with graphics, animations, sound effects, and music to elevate the overall production value.
• Generate and edit AI‑based videos using tools like VEO 3, Sora, or similar platforms.
• Take full ownership of AI‑driven video creation — including visuals, voiceovers, and image generation.
• Support and guide the creative team in leveraging AI tools for video production.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in video editing, preferably in an agency or content‑focused brand setup.
• Proficiency in video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, or similar programs.
• Solid understanding of post‑production workflows, storytelling, pacing, and transitions.
• Experience with color grading, audio balancing, and creating platform‑ready final exports.
• Basic knowledge of camera gear, lighting, and on‑set best practices.
• Ability to take feedback constructively and make quick turnarounds.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high‑quality work under tight deadlines.
• A portfolio showcasing a range of editing work across formats is mandatory.
• Flexibility to adapt to changing priorities and project requirements.
• Hands‑on experience with AI video generation tools (VEO 3, Sora, Runway, or similar).
• Ability to integrate AI workflows seamlessly into the video production pipeline.

Nice‑to‑Have

• Familiarity with AI‑based or other collaborative editing tools.
• Experience working in fast‑paced environments with multiple deadlines.
• Knowledge of current trends in video formats, transitions, and digital storytelling.
• Interest in exploring emerging GenAI tools for creative video production.
