• Work from briefs provided by the social media team.
• Suggest improvements to pacing, hooks, structure, and visual flow.
• Manage revisions efficiently and keep project files and footage organised.

Requirements

• Fresh grads welcome, as long as you have a strong portfolio of short-form social videos.
• Strong understanding of TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and social video pacing.
• Proficient in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar editing tools.
• Familiarity with AI-driven editing features (e.g., text-based editing, auto-reframe) and generative AI platforms (such as Midjourney, ElevenLabs, Runway, or CapCut's AI toolkit).
• Able to edit quickly without sacrificing clarity.
• Good sense of rhythm, captions, hooks, and viewer retention.
• Comfortable working in a lean, fast-moving team.
• Employment Type: Full-time
