Video Editor & Storyteller

About Us

Backyard Collective is an un-agency shaping stories for brands through content, social media, branding, marketing, and new-age storytelling. We’re not chasing trends — we’re building narratives that make brands unforgettable. At the heart of this is video. And we’re looking for a video editor who doesn’t just cut clips, but crafts stories.

What You’ll Do

• Editing with Speed & Precision
• Deliver high-quality edits with quick turnaround times from brand films to reels, shorts, podcasts, and event coverage.
• Maintain technical excellence across formats : sound, transitions, pacing, grading, and motion.
• Storytelling through the Edit Table
• Shape raw footage into powerful stories that flow seamlessly.
• Work with rhythm, emotion, and cinematic pacing not just aesthetics.
• Use your understanding of narrative arcs to elevate even short-form edits into experiences.
• Cinematic & Contemporary Awareness
• Draw inspiration from cinema and pop culture to push creative boundaries.
• Stay sharp on what’s working in micro-content (reels, shorts, YouTube edits, podcast cuts).
• Blend cinematic craft with digital-first energy.
• Collaboration with the Creative Team
• Be involved in pre-production ideation to set yourself (and the team) up for stronger post-production outcomes.
• Work with directors, designers, and writers to ensure the edit aligns with the larger creative vision.
• Suggest formats, transitions, and techniques proactively instead of only executing briefs.
• Technical Mastery
• Advanced knowledge of Premiere Pro / Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve (and After Effects is a plus).
• Strong skills in text animation, color grading, and basic motion graphics to elevate edits.
• Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously without compromising on quality.
• Manage assets, workflows, and file structures for smooth collaboration.
