Video Editing Lead Post Production (YouTube) Bengaluru

Who We Are?

We’re GrowthSchool. And we built Outskill.

GrowthSchool started with one belief: you learn a skill fastest from the person actually doing it. So we partnered with the top 1% of instructors to build high-impact, cohort-based courses in personal and professional growth for learners around the world, and used AI to make that learning personal at a scale a classroom never could.

Then AI changed what “upskilling” even means. Roles started getting rewritten faster than curriculums could keep up, and the real divide stopped being skilled versus unskilled. It became AI-ready versus not.

So, we built Outskill, our AI education arm, to close that gap practical, implementation-first AI training for professionals, teams and enterprises. Today Outskill is one of the largest AI education companies in the world: 20M+ learners across 160+ countries, and programs running everywhere from individual upskilling to enterprise AI transformation.

Our mission: Make 100 million people AI-ready by 2028.

What that actually feels like day to day: we’re 300+ people, backed by Sequoia, moving at a speed that surprises most people who join us. Products ship in weeks, not quarters. There’s no thick layer of process between an idea and it going live. You’ll own things visibly bigger than your title. Some experiments will fail publicly, and we’ll talk about them openly on Monday.

If you need a finished playbook before you start, this will be uncomfortable. If you’d rather write the playbook, you’ll like it here.

Why This Role Exists

We grew Vaibhav Sisinty's YouTube channel from 60K to 840K+ subscribers in about a year, and we’re now publishing long-form videos, documentaries and shorts across multiple channels. As the content operation scales, the next challenge is maintaining high-quality editing at high volume.

We’re looking for a Video Editing Lead to own the entire post-production function from pacing and cuts to motion graphics, B-roll, sound and colour while building a team and production pipeline that can consistently deliver high-quality content on time.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring that the edit doesn’t just look good, but actively contributes to viewer retention, storytelling and channel growth.
