VE-L1: Video Editor – AI & Creative Content

Job Profile Status: Currently hiring for this position.

Year of Experience: 1 – 3 years
Salary Bracket: 2-6L CTC

Role Overview:

We are looking for a Video Editor specialised in Reels & Short-Form Social Content who can consistently create high-retention, scroll-stopping videos. You will work closely with founders, marketers, and designers to turn raw footage, scripts, and ideas into reels that gain traction, engagement, and reach.

This is not a long-form YouTube editing role. This is a short-form fast-paced editing role, but you may get a few long-form videos.

Who Should NOT Apply:

• Editors focused only on long-form YouTube videos
• Editors who rely only on heavy effects, not storytelling
• Those unaware of current Instagram / Reels trends
• People uncomfortable with fast-paced, feedback-driven environments

Core Responsibilities:

• Edit Instagram Reels / Shorts / Ad creatives optimised for attention and retention
• Apply trend-relevant music, fonts, captions, pacing, and transitions
• Understand and implement hook-first editing (first 2–3 seconds matter most)
• Add on-screen text, captions, emojis, overlays that improve watch time
• Adapt content formats based on platform trends and algorithm behaviour
• Repurpose long videos into high-performing short clips
• Collaborate with marketing team for ad creatives and performance content
• Maintain brand consistency across different client and internal brands

Required Skills (Must-Have):

• Strong experience editing short-form vertical videos (Reels/Shorts)
• Solid understanding of music selection, beat matching, and pacing
• Good eye for typography, font pairing, spacing, and visual hierarchy
• Clear understanding of what works on social media today, not last year
• Tools you must be comfortable with
  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • After Effects (basic motion, text animations, transitions)
  • CapCut (for fast trend-based edits)
• AI & new-age editing (important at NexGi)
  • You actively experiment with AI-assisted video workflows
  • You should be familiar with or open to using
    • Google Veo 3.1
    • Kling AI
    • Other AI video generation / enhancement tools
    • AI-based background generation, b-roll creation, transitions, and effects
    • You don’t need to be an expert—but curiosity and adaptability are mandatory.

Required Skills (Good to-have):

• Experience editing founder-led content
• Understanding of social media trends, formats, and viral patterns
• Ability to suggest improvements in hooks, pacing, or visual treatment
• Experience editing ad creatives for Meta / YouTube Shorts
• Basic understanding of branding and performance marketing content

What We Care About More Than Degrees

• Your showreel / portfolio
• Your understanding of why a reel works
• Your ability to follow trends without copying blindly
• Speed, consistency, and attention to detail

If you can explain why you chose a cut, font, or music, you’re already ahead.
