Job Description
About The Role We are looking for a Video Editor to edit videos of our YouTube, social and campaign output - long-form explainers, parent testimonials, teacher features, campus and classroom footage, ads and Shorts. You will work directly with the YouTube Manager on a planned content calendar, not on ad-hoc requests. Expected output is roughly 15 long-form videos and [20-25] Shorts a month, so we need someone fast who does not trade speed for sloppiness. Retention is the metric that matters: we care less about how a cut looks in isolation and more about whether viewers are still watching at the four-minute mark. This is a hands-on craft role with real ownership of the visual language of the channel - templates, motion system, pacing conventions - not a render-and-export seat. Key Responsibilities Editing & post-production - Cut long-form videos end to end: assembly, story structure, pacing, B-roll, music and sound design. - Edit for retention - tight cold opens, no dead air, visual change every few seconds, ruthless removal of anything that does not earn its place. - Handle colour correction and grading, audio cleanup, levelling and mixing to a consistent standard. - Produce accurate on-screen captions and burned-in subtitles, including for non-native-English viewers. Motion graphics & brand system - Build lower thirds, titles, kinetic text, transitions, animated explainers and end cards in the 21K brand system. - Create and maintain a reusable template pack so common elements do not get rebuilt every time. - Turn academic and admissions information into clear visual explainers - curriculum comparisons, timelines, process flows. Shorts, social & campaigns - Identify and cut Shorts and Reels from long-form footage with hook-first openings, not trimmed leftovers. - Version content correctly for each platform: aspect ratios, safe areas, durations, caption placement, thumbnails frames. - Edit performance-marketing creatives to brief, including multiple variants for testing. Production support & asset management - Support shoots when needed - studio, remote and on-location - including basic camera, lighting and audio setup. - Ingest, log, back up and organise footage so any asset can be found months later. - Maintain a clean project and archive structure, with clear file naming and version control. Workflow & quality - Hold agreed turnaround times and flag slippage early rather than at the deadline. - Take feedback in structured review rounds and close notes cleanly without repeat corrections. - Keep every output on-brand: colour, type, logo usage, tone and factual accuracy of on-screen claims. Requirements - 3-5 years as a video editor in an agency, production house, creator team or in-house brand team - with a showreel we can watch, not just a CV. - Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects; comfortable with Media Encoder, Dynamic Link and proxy workflows on large projects. - A retention-first editing instinct - you can explain why you cut where you cut, and what you removed to keep the viewer watching. - Genuine audio skill: noise reduction, levelling, ducking and music selection. Bad audio loses viewers faster than bad video. - Motion graphics ability sufficient to build clean titles, text animation and simple explainer sequences unaided. - Speed with discipline - proven high-volume output, organised projects, and turnaround commitments you actually meet. - Working English strong enough to cut dialogue-driven content for accuracy and meaning, not just rhythm. Good to Have - DaVinci Resolve for grading; Photoshop, Illustrator or Figma for stills and thumbnails. - Camera operation, lighting and location sound experience. - Subtitling or editing in Hindi, Tamil or other Indian languages, or for GCC and international audiences. - 2D character animation, whiteboard or explainer-style animation. - Fluency with AI-assisted post tools (Descript, Whisper transcription, Topaz, auto-caption and cleanup tools). - Edtech, education, parenting or another category where factual accuracy matters. Why Join Us - Your work is the first impression thousands of parents get of the school - and you will see the retention data prove what worked. - A planned content calendar with real briefs, not last-minute scrambles. - Ownership of the channel’s visual language and template system from the ground up. - [Equipment and workstation provided / learning budget / flexible working - customise]
