What youll be doing

As a Social Media Video Editor at Zero1, youll help shape how millions of people discover finance online. Your primary canvas will be Instagram Reels, where youll turn complex ideas, stories, and conversations into content that people actually want to watch, share, and talk about. Youll edit across formats — from topical finance content and educational reels to event coverage, podcasts, community content, and creator-led videos.

Were not trying to chase trends. Were trying to make finance impossible to scroll past.

Were building a team of editors who think like creators and edit like storytellers.

Role and responsibilities:

• Edit original social media content across formats, primarily for Instagram Reels.
• Build repeatable editing systems, toolkits, templates, and visual styles that help us scale content without compromising quality.
• Package content for performance by improving hooks, pacing, storytelling, titles, and overall viewer retention.
• Work closely with social media executives, writers, designers, and presenters to bring ideas to life.
• Shoot content when required and take ownership of the editing process from footage to final delivery.
• Edit across both desktop and mobile workflows, choosing the right tool for the job.
• Manage footage, project files, asset libraries, stock footage, music, and B-roll efficiently.
• Apply strong fundamentals of color correction, sound design, motion graphics, and visual storytelling.
• Edit across different content buckets including event reels, podcast clips, educational content, topical content, and creator-led formats.
• Track how your content performs and use those insights to make future edits sharper.
• Stay on top of platform shifts, creator trends, editing techniques, and evolving social media behaviour.

What you need to apply

• 2–3 years of experience editing content for social media, creators, media brands, or agencies.

• A sharp eye for aesthetics, pacing, visual hierarchy, and retention.
• The ability to take feedback, iterate quickly, and improve your work without ego.

Brownie points:

• If youve worked on creator-led content and understand what drives engagement.
• If you have experience with motion graphics and visual design.
• If you can shoot content in addition to editing it.
• If youve built your own page, channel, or audience online.

How we edit:

• We edit for impact.
• We edit for retention, not just views.
