VE-L1 – Video Editor – AI & Creative Content – Level 1 (1-3 Years)

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.

Application Instructions (Important)

Please share:

1. Your portfolio / Instagram page / drive link (reels preferred)
2. 2–3 reels you edited that performed well (mention approx. reach if possible)
3. Tools you use regularly
4. Your current availability and expected compensation

Shortlisted candidates will go through:

• Portfolio evaluation
• Practical reel editing task
• Final discussion
