Video Editor

So Pastel is a social-first growth agency in Bangalore. We build brands for D2C and consumer companies, and we're hiring a Video Editor to cut the reels and video ads for our client brands.

What you'll do

• Edit Instagram reels, YouTube Shorts and short video ads for several client brands every week

• Make the first 2 seconds count: build hooks that stop people scrolling

• Keep the pacing tight, cut to the beat, and hold people to the end

• Add clean captions and on-screen text, sound design and simple motion graphics

• Turn one shoot into many pieces: cut-downs, 6-second ad versions and formats for each platform

• Work with our social, design and account teams from brief to final export, and turn feedback around quickly

What we're looking for

• 1+ years editing short-form video for brands, an agency or creators

• A showreel or reels you've edited that we can watch

• Fluent in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut or CapCut; After Effects is a plus

• A good ear for music and timing, and an eye for colour and type

• Fast and organised: you can ship several edits a day without dropping quality

Nice to have

• Motion graphics, basic colour grading, and comfort using AI tools for footage, voice or cleanup

How we hire

Apply with your showreel or reels you've edited. Shortlisted candidates get a short test task (about 2 hours: a reel and a 6-second cut for a made-up brand), then a call with us and a visit to our studio. We aim to go from application to offer in about a week.
