Full-time

  • On-site (Vashi, Navi Mumbai)

About Swarna Bharat TV :

Swarna Bharat TV is a mission-led creative platform telling precise, high-quality stories on Bharat’s history, culture, spirituality, and knowledge systems. Our YouTube channel is live with RashtraGaatha, and we’re rolling out twelve original shows—animated series, on-field documentaries, studio formats, and feature specials. We pair research-first writing with cinematic craft, and we’re preparing our originals for wider distribution, including OTT.

The Role :

We’re hiring a Senior Video Editor — Lead to own story flow, pacing, and finishing across weekly originals. This is a hands-on role : you will personally cut the flagship edits each week while leading planning and delivery. You’ll turn scripts and visual beats into high-retention edits, plan A / B openings, coordinate motion / AI editors and an intern per task, and keep projects organised for fast iterations. Colour is handled by DoP / grade where needed; your focus is story, rhythm, structure, and delivery.

What you’ll do -

1) Edit Leadership & Story

  • Lead weekly long form edits (7–12 min) with strong 0–30s hooks, clean act structure, and satisfying closes.
  • Plan A / B versions of the opening minute; propose alt pacing / VO trims from a retention lens.
  • 2) Planning & Handoffs

  • Run a light Edit Board each week : lock sequence plan, asset needs, and deadlines.
  • Keep tidy project files (bins, proxies, naming, versioning); hand off to motion / AI editor cleanly.
  • 3) Packaging & Variants

  • Deliver main cut + social pulls / teasers; coordinate with thumbnail designer on “moment frames.”
  • Add temp sound design / music beds and supervise final mix (freelance sound if used).
  • 4) Quality & Iteration

  • Maintain export discipline (levels, loudness, safe titles, captions when needed).
  • Turn analytics into action : carry one concrete change into next week’s cut (hook, pacing, or structure).
  • Must-haves

  • 5–9 years editing non-fiction / digital / featurettes; YouTube pacing sense (hooks, retention beats).
  • Hands-on lead : you ship weekly edits and run a simple weekly edit plan.
  • Retention-first storytelling : designs 0 : 00–1 : 00 hooks , plans A / B openings , and can restructure scripts visually when needed.
  • Project hygiene at scale : clean bins / proxies / naming / versioning; enforce templates and stable exports.
  • Cross-functional coordination : brief & integrate outputs from motion graphics, AI-filmmaking, and intern with clear notes.
  • Expert in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve ; proxies, multicam, audio cleanup, captioning.
  • On-site (Vashi); dependable weekly delivery; collaborates well with writers / designers.
  • Nice-to-haves

  • After Effects (basic) : titles / callouts / maps; ability to brief motion designer precisely.
  • Builds simple sequence templates / checklists; mentors by example.
  • Archive / rights awareness; LUT-aware handoff to colour.
  • Why join us

  • Lead the editorial voice on originals with national resonance.
  • Mission-led team, fast decisions, visible crediting.
  • Multi-platform exposure : digital now, repackaging for wider distribution.
