Short-Form Media Editor
About the role
About the Company
marketfeed is a Y Combinator-backed wealthtech company building intelligence products for Indian retail investors. Our content arm reaches millions across YouTube, Instagram, and other platforms, with our CEO Sharique leading one of the most-followed finance creator channels in the country.
About the Role
We're looking for a Short-Form Media Editor to join our content team, working alongside our lead editor to power short-form output across our English channel and Sharique's personal channel. You'll own the end-to-end packaging of reels and shorts, from pulling the right moments out of long-form footage to delivering polished, retention-optimized cuts that perform. This is a hands-on editing role for someone who thinks natively in short-form: hooks, pacing, payoff.
Responsibilities
- Edit Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts end-to-end
- Curate and repurpose clips from podcasts, livestreams, and long-form content
- Handle the full edit stack: pacing, subtitles, graphics, motion elements, retention cuts
- Maintain consistency with our established house style across both channels
- Deliver a minimum of 2 reels per day
Must-haves
- Strong grasp of short-form editing language: hooks, pacing, retention mechanics, platform-native styles
- Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro
- Ability to package reels independently from raw footage to final deliverable
- Working knowledge of Malayalam and English
Nice-to-haves
- Experience editing finance, business, or creator-led content
- Familiarity with motion graphics (After Effects or similar)
- A portfolio of reels with demonstrably strong watch-through performance
