Junior Creative — Videographer, Editor & Designer

ABOUT CATALYSTS
Catalysts is a digital marketing agency — 5+ years, 70+ team, ₹500 Cr+ in managed media spend. We work across SEO, Paid, Branding, and Strategic Consulting for 50+ clients spanning B2B, B2C, and D2C. Video and creative output are central to how we deliver — and we're building a team that owns the full content lifecycle, from shoot to final asset.
THE ROLE
We need someone who can shoot, edit, and design — all three as genuine competencies, not one strong and two passable. On any given week you might be behind the camera for a podcast or founder interview, cutting a Reel in post, and building social creatives for a campaign. The brief decides what the day looks like.
Portfolio is mandatory. Show us work across all three areas — footage you shot, edits you produced, and design you created. Applications without a portfolio link will not be reviewed.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
Videography & Shooting
– Set up and shoot studio and on-location formats: podcasts, founder interviews, product showcases, and testimonial videos
– Handle camera, basic lighting (LED panels, reflectors), and audio (LAV mic, shotgun mic) for small crew or solo shoots
– Frame and compose shots with intent — not just pointing and recording — and capture sufficient B-roll to support the edit
– Direct talent on camera to get natural, usable performances in a time-efficient shoot
Video Editing & Post-Production
– Edit short-form social content — Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn clips — with clean cuts, pacing, captions, and platform-correct formatting
– Take a project from raw footage to final delivery: selects, colour grade, audio mix, music sync, and export
– Cut long-form recordings (podcasts, interviews) into punchy short-form clips that retain the original point
– Implement feedback in one round — you understand what is being asked and execute it precisely
Motion Graphics
– Build motion graphics in After Effects: lower thirds, kinetic text, logo animations, and transitions — from scratch when required
– Animate static design assets for social: subtle motion, loops, and entrance effects that elevate without overpowering
Graphic Design
– Design social creatives across formats: static posts, carousels, story frames, and display banners for Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook
– Work within a client's brand system accurately — correct typeface, colour, and grid — without needing corrections on the basics
– Create performance-led ad creatives: thumbnails and banners where the design decision is driven by click intent
– Adapt and resize master creatives across formats without the layout looking like an afterthought
Workflow & Delivery
– Manage your task list across multiple active accounts — briefs taken, shoots planned, edits in progress, assets delivered
– Maintain clean file organisation: named folders, versioned exports, and raw footage archived correctly
– Deliver work that is close to final on the first submission — not a direction-seeking draft
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Must Have
– Premiere Pro: colour, audio, effects, and export — end to end
– After Effects: motion graphics built from scratch, not preset application
– Photoshop + Illustrator: raster and vector both
– Figma: design system fluency and template builds
– Canva Pro: fast turnaround on templated content — knows its limits
– Hands-on shoot experience: podcasts, interviews, or similar content formats — not just editing others' footage
– Strong visual eye: composition, pacing, type — your work looks considered, not assembled
Soft Skills
– Deadline-driven: client timelines are fixed. 'I ran out of time' is a planning failure
– Feedback-ready: you separate ego from output and fix things in one round
– Detail-oriented: wrong logo, off-brand colour, shaky shot — you catch it before it goes out
– Proactive: if a brief is unclear or a deadline is at risk, you raise it — you don't wait to be asked
Nice to Have
– DaVinci Resolve for colour grading
– AI creative tools — Runway, Adobe Firefly, or Kling — for generative video or image work
– Prior agency or studio experience — working on client briefs, not just personal projects
PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS
Show us work across all three areas. We want to see footage you shot (not just edited), an edit taken from raw to final, and design work across at least two formats. Behance, a personal site, or a well-organised Notion page all work.
WHY CATALYSTS

– A team of 70+ across SEO, paid, and strategy — creative work here is connected to full-funnel context, not produced in isolation
