Senior Video Editor

Job description

We're Hiring: Senior Video Editor

Location: Pune (Kharadi) (Work From Office)

Experience: Senior Level (3-5+ years)

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Video Editor who can independently take raw footage and turn it into scroll-stopping, publish-ready content, with zero hand-holding. You'll be handling two distinct content formats: podcast-style long-form content (multi-camera setups) and event/lifestyle reels, so versatility and speed matter as much as craft.

This is a senior role. We need someone who already knows the difference between a good cut and a great one, who catches their own mistakes before we do, and who can hold a conversation with the team about creative direction, not just take instructions and disappear.

Software / Tools You Should Know

• Adobe Premiere Pro primary editing software (must-have)
• DaVinci Resolve color grading and multi-cam editing
• Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) good to have, especially if you're Mac-native
• AI Video Generation/Editing Tools (e.g., Runway, CapCut AI, Adobe Premiere's AI features, ElevenLabs for voice, or similar) for quick turnarounds, auto-captions, AI b-roll, and trend-based edits
• Adobe After Effects — basic motion graphics and text animations (good to have)

What You'll Be Doing

Podcast Editing (Multi-Cam)

• Edit long-form podcast content shot across 3 camera angles, syncing and switching angles seamlessly based on conversation flow, energy, and reactions
• Cut down long-form podcasts into high-performing short reels/clips for Instagram and YouTube Shorts
• Add captions, sound design, pacing cuts, and visual hooks that keep retention high in the first 3 seconds

Event & Lifestyle Reels

• Edit event coverage, BTS content, and lifestyle reels into polished, story-driven short videos
• Work with varied raw footage (multiple shooters, inconsistent lighting/audio) and make it look intentional
• Maintain a consistent visual identity and pacing style across all content

General

• Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously without dropping quality
• Organize and archive raw footage and project files properly (no chaos, no missing files)
• Stay updated on reel trends, transitions, and editing styles that are currently performing well
• Communicate proactively with the content and strategy team on shot requirements, missing footage, or creative gaps

What We're Looking For

• 3-5+ years of hands-on video editing experience, specifically in reels/short-form and podcast content
• Proven experience editing multi-camera podcast setups (angle switching, sync, pacing)
• Strong sense of storytelling, pacing, and hook-based editing for social media
• Proficiency in Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve (Adobe Premiere strongly preferred for this role); After Effects is a plus
• Sharp eye for detail — color consistency, audio levels, caption timing, and continuity
• Strong communication skills — able to explain creative choices, take feedback without friction, and flag issues proactively rather than waiting to be asked
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities without constant supervision
• A portfolio of podcast reels and event reels is mandatory

Good to Have

• Experience editing for coach/creator or personal brand content
• Familiarity with YouTube long-form + Shorts ecosystem
• Basic understanding of what drives retention and watch time on Instagram/YouTube
