Company: LADR Media LLP | Location: Kochi, Kerala (work from office) | Type: Full time | Timings: 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, flexible and output based | Salary: 21,000-33,000 per month, based on skill and portfolio
About us
LADR Media is an international marketing agency based in Kochi. We run ads, build content, and grow brands across India, Dubai, and Australia. Video is a big part of how we do that. Our editors work on ad creatives, brand films, founder content, and social videos that need to stop the scroll and sell.
This is not a job where you sit and cut wedding films. Everything you make gets measured. Good editing here means the video holds attention, looks premium, and gets results.
What you will do
- Edit short form videos for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok style formats
- Edit long form videos for YouTube, brand films, and client case studies
- Cut performance ad creatives for Meta and Google, and build variations for testing
- Add motion graphics, text animations, lower thirds, and transitions using After Effects
- Colour grade footage so every video looks clean and consistent
- Use Ai softwares like higgsfield to generate clips and stitch together
- Mix and clean up audio, add music and sound design that fits the mood
- Add captions and subtitles that are accurate and easy to read
- Work from briefs and scripts, and turn rough footage into a finished piece
- Take feedback and turn around revisions fast without losing quality
- Keep project files, footage, and exports organised and backed up
- Track your work in ClickUp and hit the deadlines you commit to
- Sometimes shoot content on location or in office when needed
What you must have
- A strong portfolio or showreel. This matters more than your degree or your years of experience. Send your best work, not all your work.
- 2 or more years editing professionally, or work that clearly proves you can do this
- Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro or similar.
- Real After Effects skills for motion graphics, not just template drag and drop
- A good eye for colour grading and an understanding of LUTs, exposure, and skin tones
- A sense of pacing and rhythm. You know how to hook someone in the first 3 seconds and hold them to the end.
- Understanding of audio. Clean dialogue, balanced music, and sound effects that land.
- Knowledge of export settings, aspect ratios, and safe zones for each platform
- Good spoken and written English. You will read briefs and talk to the team every day.
- Your own creative taste. You should be able to look at a cut and know what is wrong with it.
Nice to have
- DaVinci Resolve for grading
- Photoshop, Illustrator, or Figma for thumbnails and graphics
- Camera and lighting knowledge. Comfortable shooting when needed.
- Experience editing direct response ads and understanding what makes them convert
- Comfort with AI video and audio tools to speed up your workflow
- Basic 3D or Blender skills
Who this role is for
You are the right fit if you care about the details. You rewatch your own cuts and fix the frames nobody else would notice. You keep up with what is trending on social and you have opinions about why some videos work and others do not. You want to grow, not just clock in.
You are not the right fit if you need someone standing over you to get work done, if you miss deadlines, or if you take feedback personally.
Our hiring process
We keep it short and practical. Three rounds.
Round 1: Telephone interview A short call to understand your background, your work, and what you are looking for. We will also go through your portfolio.
Round 2: Paid practical test We give you a real brief and real footage. You edit it and send it back. This round is paid, because your time and skill have value even before you join us. We look at your edit, your motion graphics, your grade, and how well you followed the brief.
Round 3: Final selection round A face to face or video conversation with the founder and the team. We talk about the test, how you think, how you work, and whether we are a good fit for each other. Salary and start date get discussed here.
What you get
- Full time role with a growing marketing agency
- Work on real brands across India, Dubai, and Australia
- Access to good gear, software, and AI tools
- Clear systems, clear briefs, and no chaos
- Room to grow into a senior or lead editor role as the team grows
- A team that values honest work and getting things done
