At OWLED, we're building the future of content by creating high-performing, platform-native content that drives real business impact.

We’re looking for a Senior Video Editor who is exceptionally good at editing, can work with International clients, understands pacing / storytelling - this is going to be a really well paid role. Apart from leading top projects by editing on those yourself, you will also be managing an 8 people edit team.

About the role:

This is a video editing-first role, not a pure motion design role.
You will work across films, launch videos, branded content, animations, and digital/social content.
We’re looking for someone with strong hands-on editing experience and prior experience leading or managing a team of editors.

Responsibilities

Lead and execute edits across brand films, launch videos, branded content, animations, and digital-first content.
Create high-retention, fast-paced, and platform-native edits.
Shape raw footage into a strong visual narrative from start to finish.
Work closely with creative, production, and strategy teams to bring ideas to life.
Experiment with new-age editing styles, formats, and internet-native content.
Review, guide, and provide feedback to junior editors.
Help manage editing workflow and ensure quality and timely delivery.
Bring strong creative judgment to every edit and identify what makes content more engaging and watchable.

What we're looking for

4–6 years of professional video editing experience.
Strong hands-on experience in video editing across advertising, films, branded content, or digital media.
Previous experience leading or managing a team of editors (mandatory)
Strong understanding of retention-driven editing and modern internet content.
Excellent sense of pacing, storytelling, music, sound design, and visual rhythm.
Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Ability to work quickly, take feedback, and iterate without compromising creative quality.
A strong portfolio or showreel demonstrating editing craft and range.

Good to have

Experience with motion graphics and animation.
Understanding of emerging editing styles, creators, and digital content formats.
Experience working on high-volume content or fast-paced creative projects.

The ideal candidate

You can watch an edit and immediately spot where the energy drops, where the story slows down, and what needs to change.
You understand what makes people stop scrolling and keep watching.
You stay plugged into new-age content, editing trends, and evolving formats, while bringing the experience and creative judgment needed to lead a team and raise the quality of every edit.
