About the Role

We are seeking a skilled, creative video editor and motion designer with a strong command of editing, motion, colour, sound, and design. The role involves transforming ideas into polished, engaging short videos weekly. This is a hands-on role requiring professional editing and design software skills. While AI tools are beneficial for efficiency, they do not replace core craft and taste.

Key Responsibilities

• Create Short-Form Videos:
• Manage the entire video creation process from concept to final export, including storyboarding, editing, motion graphics, colour, sound design, and captions.
• Produce content such as launch teasers, product promos, motion-graphic explainers, and short-form videos for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.
• Maintain a premium, clean, minimal, and cinematic standard, avoiding generic templates.
• Adapt video content for each platform, considering aspect ratio, length, pacing, and captions.
• Design and Motion:
• Create motion graphics, animated typography, and transitions using Adobe After Effects.
• Design thumbnails, covers, social posts, and brand templates using Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, or Canva.
• Contribute to establishing a consistent visual style for the product, including colour, type, and motion guidelines.
• Use AI Where it Adds Value:
• Utilize AI tools (e.g., Runway, Kling, ElevenLabs, Midjourney) for idea generation, voiceovers, B-roll, or clean-up, refining outputs with editing and design skills.
• Discern the usability of AI-generated content.
• Deliver, Measure, Improve:
• Deliver finished videos weekly, on schedule.
• Track key metrics beyond views, including hook rate (first 3 seconds), average watch time, saves, shares, follows, and sign-ups.
• Conduct weekly reviews to analyze performance and plan future tests.
• Stay abreast of platform trends, sounds, and formats, adapting them to the brand creatively.
• Maintain records of licenses and rights for all assets used.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Must-Have Skills:
• Based in India.
• Strong hands-on proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
• Solid motion graphics skills in Adobe After Effects.
• Working knowledge of Photoshop or Illustrator, alongside Figma or Canva.
• Comprehensive understanding of video fundamentals: storytelling, pacing, composition, colour correction and grading, typography, sound design and mixing, and appropriate export settings.
• Good understanding of short-form video dynamics: hooks, structure for Reels and Shorts, captions, and trends.
• A portfolio showcasing original work.
• Excellent English communication skills (written and spoken).
• A capable laptop or workstation for professional editing software and reliable internet access.
• Nice-to-Have Skills:
• Experience with AI tools supporting creative workflows.
• 3D skills using Blender or Cinema 4D.
• Camera, lighting, and filming skills.
• Experience growing social media accounts (personal or brand).
