Video Editor Application

Mumbai

DISRPTVE is a strategy-led marketing agency based in Mumbai. We build brands that cut through the noise and stay un-ignorable. We work across brand strategy, content production, performance marketing, and celebrity partnerships.

We are not looking for people who can just execute. We are looking for people who think, who have taste, and who care about the work. If that sounds like you, this form should be fun.

The Role

We are looking for a Video Editor who lives and breathes the feed. Someone who can cut a punchy reel before lunch and a polished brand film by end of day. You treat pacing, sound design, and hook craft as non-negotiables, not afterthoughts.

You will be editing across a roster of brands, which means switching gears constantly: trend-led short-form one day, considered storytelling the next. You should be plugged into what is working on Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn right now, and confident enough to push back when a cut is not landing.

What You Will Do

• Edit short-form and long-form video across Instagram (Reels, Stories), YouTube (Shorts and long-form),

and LinkedIn

• Build hooks, pacing, and structure that hold attention from frame one

• Handle colour grading, sound design, and basic motion graphics in-house

• Work directly with strategists, creative leads, and shoot teams from brief to final cut

• Maintain brand consistency across every edit while adapting tone and style per client

• Hit deadlines without compromising craft, and flag risks early when timelines are tight

• Stay current on platform trends, editing techniques, and content formats across social

What We Are Looking For

• Strong command of Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve

• Solid colour grading instincts and a working knowledge of motion graphics (After Effects is a plus)

• Sharp sense of pacing, hooks, and storytelling structure

• Fluency in social-first formats and what makes content stop the scroll

• A portfolio that shows range: trend-driven social cuts and refined brand work

• Detail-oriented, fast on revisions, and comfortable both taking direction and giving it

Nice to Have

• Basic shooting knowledge or on-set experience

• Familiarity with animation or advanced motion graphics workflows

• Experience with AI-assisted editing tools or workflows

Link to your portfolio or body of work (Drive, Behance, website, whatever you have) *

Link 3 reels or videos you personally edited. For each one, tell me what the brief was and what you decided on your own (pacing, music, transitions, hook structure). *

You are given a brief that says "make it cinematic." Another brief says "make it feel like a meme page." How does your editing approach change between the two? Be specific about pacing, cuts, sound, and structure. *

Tell us about a time you were stuck creatively on an edit. What was the problem, what did you try, and how did you get to the final cut? *

Show me a before/after of something you colour graded. Can be a screenshot, a frame grab, or a link. Explain what you did and why. *

What are you watching, following, or studying right now that makes you a better editor? Be specific, not "I watch reels." *

Show me a reel or video from any brand that you think is badly edited. Drop the link. Tell me what is wrong and how you would recut it. *

What is the difference between an edit that performs well on Instagram and one that performs well on YouTube? Not the format or length. Tell me how the actual editing changes. *

Name a film or show where the editing made you feel something before you understood what was happening. What specifically did the editor do? *

Where do you want to be in 2 years? Not the polished answer. The real one. *

Lastly, Why DISRPTVE? Be honest. What made you fill this form out instead of scrolling past it? *

Anything else you would like for us to know? *
