Job description

Were Hiring: AI Video Editor (Short-Form, Social & Ads) Gachibowli, Hyderabad

Night Shift: 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM IST

Work from Office (MonFri), WFH on Saturday

Experience: 1 5 years

Role & responsibilities

Why This Role Exists:

We're building a modern, AI-first marketing agency that produces a high volume of social, ad, and content videos across multiple brands.

We are looking for young, fast, AI-native Video Editors who:

• Think in Reels, Shorts, and Ads
• Use AI tools daily to speed up editing
• Understand hooks, pacing, and attention
• Can edit fast without compromising clarity

This is not a long-film or cinematic editing role.

This is a high-impact, marketing-driven video role.

What You’ll Work On (Core Responsibilities)

1. Short-Form Video Editing (Primary Focus)

   You will edit videos for:

   • Instagram Reels
   • YouTube Shorts
   • Ad creatives (Meta, Google, etc.)
   • Brand content snippets
   • Testimonials, promos, explainers

   You’ll be expected to:

   • Cut videos tightly
   • Maintain fast pacing
   • Create scroll-stopping first 2–3 seconds
   • Deliver multiple variations quickly

2. AI-First Editing Workflow (Mandatory)

   AI is a core part of this role, not an add-on.

   You will use AI tools daily for:

   • Auto cutting and rough edits
   • Subtitle generation and styling
   • Background removal or replacement
   • Audio cleanup and enhancement
   • Upscaling and format conversion
   • Creating multiple versions faster

   We expect you to use AI to move fast, not to avoid thinking.

3. Editing With Marketing Sense

   This is a marketing-driven editing role, not just technical editing.

   You should understand:

   • Hooks and attention spans
   • Visual rhythm and pacing
   • When to cut, zoom, or pause
   • How subtitles affect retention
   • Why certain edits work for ads and social

   You’ll work closely with:

   • AI Digital Marketing Manager (strategy & direction)
   • Graphic designers
   • Content and performance marketing teams

4. Subtitles, Effects & Formatting

   Add clean, readable subtitles (not overdone)

   Use effects only when they support the message

   Format videos correctly for:

   • 9:16
   • 1:1
   • 16:9 (when needed)

   Maintain consistency across brand styles

5. Speed, Iteration & Feedback

   Deliver edits fast

   Be open to revisions and feedback

   Create alternate cuts when needed

   Maintain quality without overthinking

Experience Level

1 to 5 years’ experience

Freshers with strong reels/shorts portfolios are welcome

Early career editors who want fast growth in an agency environment are ideal

Degrees matter less than

• Editing sense
• Speed
• Curiosity
• Comfort with AI tools

Tools You Must Know

You should be comfortable with at least one primary editor:

• Premiere Pro / After Effects
• Or DaVinci Resolve / Final Cut Pro

AI Tools (Any or Similar)

You don’t need to know all of these, but you should already be using some:

• AI subtitle tools
• AI video cutting tools
• AI audio cleanup tools
• AI background removal tools
• AI upscaling tools

Learning new AI tools quickly is non-negotiable.

Who This Role Is NOT For

• Editors who avoid AI tools
• Editors who only want cinematic or long-form projects
• Editors who work very slowly
• Editors who resist feedback or iteration

How Success Will Be Measured

Within the first 30-45 days:

• Faster turnaround time
• Better pacing and retention
• Comfort using AI + manual editing together
• Ability to produce multiple versions quickly
• Strong alignment with marketing briefs
