Video Editor | Leading Digital Media Company
Agency on Retainer for ChatGPT India
Full Time, In-Office Role
Andheri East, Mumbai
Experience: 2-5 years
Immediate Joiners Preferred
Company: A Leading Digital Media Agency.
We're an integrated digital-first media and marketing company, specialising in organic media, meme marketing, influencer partnerships, and content-led brand solutions. Operating at the intersection of culture, creators, and communities, we help leading consumer and digital-native brands drive awareness, engagement, and cultural relevance across social platforms. Through a vertically integrated ecosystem of proprietary meme networks, creator collectives, and an in-house production studio, we deliver scalable, content-first branded distribution models that combine strategy, storytelling, and organic reach to engineer attention at scale.
This role is specifically for our client on retainer - ChatGPT India.
Role Overview
We're looking for a Video Editor to take ownership of edits from first cut to final export across our brands and client projects. You'll translate briefs and raw footage into fast, culture-fluent content that performs across platforms, working closely with creative leads, writers, and designers. This role expects someone who already has a strong editing instinct and can move independently, while still collaborating closely with the wider creative team.
Why This Role Matters
Editing is where our ideas become watchable, shareable content — the difference between a good idea and a great edit is often what makes something travel. You'll have real ownership over your cuts, your voice will be heard in how a piece comes together, and you'll be trusted to make creative calls, not just execute instructions. Your work will directly shape how our brands and clients show up in culture.
Key Responsibilities
Own the Editing Process End-to-End
- Edit videos independently from raw footage to final export, based on briefs and creative direction.
- Make strong creative calls on pacing, structure, and storytelling within tight timelines.
- Add graphics, sound design, colour correction, and transitions to elevate the final cut.
- Manage multiple edits and deadlines simultaneously without dropping quality.
Collaborate Across Teams
- Work closely with creative leads, writers, and designers to bring concepts to life.
- Review briefs and raw footage, and flag gaps or reshoot needs early.
- Mentor and guide junior editors on cuts, feedback, and workflow.
- Present rough cuts and incorporate feedback quickly and constructively.
Stay Ahead of Trends & Platforms
- Keep a close eye on trending formats, edit styles, and platform-specific best practices.
- Bring fresh references and ideas to briefs, not just execute what's asked.
- Continuously refine workflow and tools to improve turnaround time and quality.
What We're Looking For
- Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro; working knowledge of After Effects.
- Solid understanding of pacing, storytelling, and sound design in short-form content.
- Experience editing for multiple platforms — Instagram, YouTube, and other social formats.
- Comfort working independently under tight, fast-moving deadlines.
- Basic colour correction and grading skills.
- Ability to take a brief and translate it into a distinct creative point of view.
- Strong file and project management practices.
- A portfolio or reel demonstrating range across formats and styles.
Bonus Points If You Have
- Motion graphics or animation experience in After Effects.
- Experience editing meme or culture-first content specifically.
- Familiarity with sound design tools or music licensing basics.
- Prior experience mentoring or reviewing junior editors' work.
Soft Skills
- Strong ownership and accountability over your work.
- Ability to take and give constructive feedback.
- Calm and organised under tight, fast-moving deadlines.
- Collaborative spirit, with the confidence to voice creative opinions.
- Adaptability across formats, brands, and briefs.
Experience & Background
- 2-5 years of experience in video editing, ideally in a fast-paced agency, media, or content environment.
- Background in digital media, film, or content-led brands is a plus.
- A strong portfolio showcasing range and craft matters more than formal qualifications.
Note: Given the fast-turnaround nature of content editing, this role may occasionally require working outside standard hours to meet publishing deadlines.
