About Kwill
Kwill is the client portal for the world's service businesses — a SaaS platform used by freelancers, small studios, and independent professionals across 40+ countries. We're building the alternative to HoneyBook, Dubsado, and Bonsai. Our team is small, based in Amritsar, with the founding team in Waterloo, Canada. Launching July 2026.
About the Role
We're hiring our first in-house Video Editor to cut short-form video for Kwill's channels — Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn video, YouTube Shorts, product demos, and founder-face content. You'll edit three kinds of footage: content shot in-house by our team, UGC delivered by external creators, and product screen recordings.
You'll be close to the founder's creative direction — briefs come as ideas, not shot lists. Bring an editor's taste. Sharp hooks in the first 2 seconds, restraint on effects, sound design that actually matters.
Responsibilities
- Cut short-form video for Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn video, and YouTube Shorts
- Edit UGC creator content (talking-head, testimonial-style, product-in-hand)
- Cut product screen recordings into polished 30–60 second demos
- Deliver every video in three aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9)
- Handle sound design — music selection, SFX layering, mixing
- Add on-screen text, captions, and simple motion graphics where they earn their place
- Ship weekly — your edits go live on Kwill's channels within days
Requirements
- 0–2 years of video editing experience (recent graduates and portfolio-based applicants welcome)
- A reel or portfolio showing at least 4–6 short-form pieces you cut end-to-end
- Working proficiency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut Pro
- Understanding of short-form pacing — the first 2 seconds matter most
- Basic colour grading skills
- Good written English — you'll read briefs and add captions
- Ability to work full-time in Amritsar (in-person, not remote)
Nice to Have
- After Effects for motion graphics and kinetic typography
- Experience editing UGC or creator content
- Screen recording and product demo editing
- Sound design instincts beyond "add a music track"
- Basic camera and lighting knowledge
What We Offer
- Full ownership of Kwill's video function — you'll be our first in-house editor
- Direct access to the founder — weekly 1:1s protected
- Steady footage pipeline — no scrambling for material
- Kwill-provided laptop and software licenses (Adobe Suite or equivalent)
- Salary: ₹2,25,000 – ₹2,50,000 per year
- Working hours: Mon–Fri 12:30 PM – 7:30 PM IST, Sat 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM IST
- 1 paid leave day per month plus public holidays
- 3-month probation period
