Remote Job - Video Editor (Reels)

Senior Short-Form Video Editor – Business & Finance Content
We are looking for a high-quality Short-Form Video Editor to take ownership of editing and visual storytelling for a growing business and finance content platform.
The content will primarily cover business and emerging trends, delivered through short, conversational videos designed for Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
This role is suited to someone who can go beyond basic editing and understand how to turn an idea or script into a compelling 40–60 second story.
Role Overview
Fully remote
Approximately 25 videos per month
Typical video length: 40 seconds to 1 minute
Long-term opportunity for the right candidate
3-4 years of strong relevant experience
What You Will Own
You will be responsible for the end-to-end post-production and visual treatment of each video.
This includes:
Creating strong pacing and narrative flow from raw talking-head footage
Identifying the most important moments, statistics and messages to emphasize
Using B-roll, charts, images, headlines, screenshots and motion graphics to strengthen the story
Designing clean, high-quality captions and on-screen typography
Using transitions, zooms, sound design and visual movement thoughtfully
Improving viewer retention without making the content feel overly edited or gimmicky
Maintaining a consistent and recognizable visual identity across all content
Optimizing content for Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube Shorts
Ensuring each video feels polished, premium and ready to publish
The Style
The visual language should sit somewhere between:
Premium business creator × news explainer × podcast-style storytelling
You should have the ability to understand when to add a visual and when to let the speaker carry the story will be particularly important.

Strong portfolio of Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or other vertical video content – added to your CV
Excellent understanding of pacing, hooks, storytelling and audience retention
Strong typography, subtitle and motion-design sensibility

Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut or equivalent editing software
Ability to work independently, manage deadlines and deliver consistently
What Will Be Provided
Raw talking-head footage
Final scripts
Key messages and statistics
Direction on the overall content strategy
Brand and visual references
You will be expected to bring your own creative interpretation and editing judgment rather than simply executing a fixed template.

INR 50,000 per month
For approximately 25 finished short-form videos per month.
This is a fully remote role with flexibility around working hours, with an emphasis on quality, consistency and agreed delivery timelines.
Please share:
