Role Overview
The Graphics and Video Editor will sit at the heart of IFF's public communications, translating dense tech policy questions, surveillance, censorship, platform regulation, and digital rights litigation into video, carousels, and visual explainers that travel. The role is built for someone who works at pace, has an instinct for what is moving on the internet at any given moment, and can fold that fluency back into our advocacy without losing accuracy or seriousness.
Key Responsibilities
- Video Production and Editing: Edit short-form video (Instagram reels, YouTube shorts, X clips) along with longer explainers, podcast cuts, and event recaps. Collaborate with lawyers, policy staff, and the Civic Literacy team on scripting, filming, and turnaround. Handle B-roll, captions, motion text, sound design, and rapid-response edits on breaking developments.
- Graphic Design for Social: Design Instagram carousels, cover images, posters, thumbnails, and email graphics. Make aesthetic and typographic choices that hold up on small screens, legibility, hierarchy, and pacing across slides matter as much as the underlying argument. Maintain and evolve IFF's visual identity across platforms.
- Internet Culture and Translation: Track formats, memes, audio trends, and visual conventions as they move. Bring that literacy into our content so that tech policy issues land inside conversations audiences are already having, rather than outside them. The goal is virality with authenticity, not gimmickry.
- Rapid-Response Comms: Produce same-day or next-day video and graphic responses to court orders, government notifications, platform actions, and news cycles. Comfort with tight deadlines, ambiguity, and iterative drafts is essential.
- Tools and Workflow: Use Descript for podcast and interview editing, HeyGen for AI-assisted video where appropriate, alongside Adobe Premiere / DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop / Illustrator / Figma, Canva, and CapCut. Maintain organised project files and asset libraries.
Qualifications
- 1–3 years' experience in video editing, motion graphics, or social media content production. We are open to freshers with a strong portfolio that shows range and editorial sensibility.
- Demonstrated portfolio of short-form video and carousel/poster work. Original work only, we will ask about your process.
- Comfort with Descript, HeyGen, and at least one professional NLE (Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve). Working knowledge of Photoshop / Illustrator or Figma, and Canva.
- Strong English; reading and working comfort in Hindi or another Indian language is a significant plus, given how much of our work travels in regional discourse.
Additional Skills
- We turn out our comms on the same day a notification drops, or an order is passed. You should be energised by this rather than exhausted by it.
- A current, working sense of internet culture, what formats are landing, which audios are crossing over, how visual motifs are being recycled, and the judgment to know when to use them and when not to.
- Design instincts for legibility: typography, contrast, slide pacing, cover composition. Carousels and thumbnails are read in seconds; they should reward those seconds.
- A real interest in digital rights, including privacy, surveillance, free expression, platform regulation, court litigation, or the willingness to build that interest quickly. You will be editing dense legal and policy material into watchable form.
- Creative initiative, sound time management, and the ability to work both independently and in a small in-person team.
