Influence | Greater Noida West | Full-time, 6 days a week, work from office

Read this before you apply
This is a combined role. You must shoot, direct, edit and design. If you only make graphics, this is not for you. If you only cut videos, this is not for you. If you have never stood behind a camera and run a shoot, this is not for you.
We get a high volume of applications from candidates who fit one of the three, not all three. Those applications get rejected at stage one. Save yourself the wait.
You also need working command of English. You will sit in rooms with founders, CXOs and investors, take a brief live, and write shoot scripts. Language is part of the job, not a bonus.
About Influence
Influence is a founder authority and reputation consulting firm led by Shriya Mukherjee. We work with startup founders, CXOs, investors and growth-stage brands across India and the UAE, building visibility and credibility through media, content and storytelling.
You will not be making template creatives for a client list you never meet. You will be on shoots with the founders themselves, building the content that shapes how the market sees them.
What you will actually do
Shoot and direct
Plan and run shoots end to end. Build the shoot plan, the script and the shot list before the camera comes out. Operate the camera. Handle framing, lighting and audio. Direct founders and clients who are not trained performers and need to be made comfortable on camera.
Edit
Cut reels, shorts, podcast episodes, interviews, testimonials, event films and brand films. Colour grade. Mix and clean audio. Add motion graphics, transitions, captions and sound design. Deliver platform-ready, on time.
Design
Build static creatives, carousels, thumbnails, covers and campaign assets for Instagram and LinkedIn. Keep every asset inside the client's brand system.
Think
Bring ideas to planning sessions. Turn a rough founder insight into a visual story. Know why a hook works, not just that it is trending.
Own
Run multiple founder accounts at once. Manage equipment, schedules and footage. Keep the archive organised. Hit deadlines without being chased.
What you must have
- 2 to 3 years of hands-on experience in content production, video editing or multimedia production
- A portfolio with both shooting and editing work. Show us frames you composed, not just files you cut
- Premiere Pro and After Effects at working speed
- Photoshop and Illustrator for design output
- CapCut, InShot and Canva for fast mobile-first turnarounds
- Real camera operation experience. Framing, lighting, lav and shotgun audio
- Ability to write a shoot script and a shot list on your own
- Clear spoken and written English
- Comfort in a fast-paced environment where the brief can change the same day
What gets you moved to the top of the pile
- Short film, ad film or documentary direction experience
- Colour grading in DaVinci Resolve
- Motion design and 2D animation
- Photography and retouching
- Prior work with founders, personal brands, agencies or creators
The assignment
Shortlisted candidates get a skill assignment with a 2-day turnaround before the final round. It is a real brief, not a trick. It tells us more than any interview will.
First 30 days
You should be running shoots on your own, producing founder-led content that performs, managing your own timelines, and putting ideas on the table that we had not thought of.
Why this role is worth taking
- Direct access to founders, investors and business leaders. No layers of approval
- Your work goes out under names people recognise
- Increment cycle every 6 months
- Real creative ownership from week one
- Playzone at the office and a work culture that is not built on late-night panic
