We're building a short-form video team for a UK-based entrepreneur growing a personal brand on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. This is not a typical editing job — you'll be given raw, unscripted footage (15–20 minutes of someone just talking) and your job is to find the moments that matter and turn them into scroll-stopping short-form content.
A note on AI editing tools: We've tried AI auto-clipping tools extensively, and they simply don't understand context, tone, or what actually makes a moment worth sharing. We need a human editor who can genuinely watch, listen, and think — not run footage through a tool. Applications or test submissions that appear AI-generated or auto-clipped will not be considered.
We currently have multiple openings:
- Lead Editor — Owns the editing process end-to-end, sets quality standards, may guide/review work from other editors as the team grows
- Team Editor — Focused on execution: finding moments and editing clips to spec, working under the lead editor's direction
Final placement and pay will be based on your test performance and experience — you don't need to choose upfront. Everyone goes through the same hiring process, and we'll place you in the role that fits best.
What You'll Do
- Watch raw, unedited monologue-style videos and identify the strongest, most shareable moments
- Edit those moments into:
- Instagram Reels (30–60 seconds)
- TikTok clips (15–30 seconds)
- YouTube Shorts (30–60 seconds)
- (LinkedIn video content to be added soon)
- Ensure every clip has a hook that lands in the first 1–2 seconds
- Deliver clean audio, smooth cuts, and professional-quality edits
- Maintain a consistent voice and quality across all platforms
- Produce approximately 4–5 finished videos per week
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of experience editing short-form video content (Reels, TikTok, or Shorts) — done by hand, not through automated clipping software
- A demonstrated ability to find the "viral moment" in raw, unstructured footage — not just polish a script that's handed to you
- Strong understanding of pacing, hooks, and what keeps people watching
- Comfortable working independently and delivering consistently on a weekly schedule
- Based in India (Mumbai preferred); fully remote role
- Available to communicate during UK business hours (approx. 1:30 PM–10:00 PM IST) — editing itself can be done on your own schedule, but you should be reachable during this window
- For Lead Editor consideration: prior experience managing or reviewing other editors' work is a plus, but not required
Our Hiring Process
- Portfolio Review – Send us your best short-form work
- Free Test – Edit one Reel from a short raw video we provide (48-hour turnaround)
- Paid Test Project – Edit 3 clips (Reel/TikTok/Shorts) from a different video — this stage is paid (₹2,500), win or lose
- Interview & Offer – If your work stands out, we'll set up a short call, confirm which role fits (Lead or Team Editor), and move to an offer
Compensation
₹40,000–₹70,000/month, based on the role you're placed in and your test performance. Lead Editor positions are compensated at the higher end of this range.
