Short Form Video Editor

Overview

We're looking for a Short Form Video Editor to join the Brownie Media team.

This role focuses on editing social-first content for brands across platforms like Instagram and other short-form video platforms.

The ideal candidate should have a strong eye for pacing, storytelling, and viewer retention. You should understand how to structure edits that keep audiences engaged through smart cuts, rhythm, visual variety, and attention to detail.

You will be editing content for multiple brands, so the ability to adapt to different brand tones and visual styles while maintaining consistency with brand guidelines is important.

We're looking for someone who understands the mechanics of high-performing short-form content and can turn raw footage into edits that feel engaging, dynamic, and platform-native.

This role is remote-friendly, but Bangalore-based candidates are preferred for occasional collaboration.

What You'll Be Doing

• Editing short-form videos optimized for social media platforms
• Creating edits that maintain high viewer retention and engagement
• Structuring videos with strong hooks, pacing, and clean storytelling
• Using smart cuts, jump cuts, and visual rhythm to keep content dynamic
• Adding light motion graphics, captions, and visual elements where needed
• Ensuring all edits align with the brand's tone, style, and guidelines
• Collaborating with the content and production team to bring creative briefs to life
• Reviewing footage and shaping it into high-performing social content

The goal is to turn raw footage into clean, engaging edits that hold attention and feel native to social platforms.

Assignment

Your goal is to create a high-retention short-form video that feels native to social media and aligned with the brand's content style.

You may refer to the brand's Instagram page to understand their tone, pacing, and editing style. However, we expect you to create something original while staying aligned with the brand's overall vibe and guidelines.

Your goal is not just strong aesthetics, but also performance. The edit should be structured to maximize views and viewer retention, while still staying consistent with the brand's identity.

Focus on:

• A strong hook in the first few seconds
• Editing that maintains high viewer retention
• Clean pacing and engaging cuts
• On-brand styling and visual consistency
• Clear subtitles/captions and light motion graphics where appropriate

The final video should feel engaging, social-first, and optimized for performance, not just visually polished.
