Job Description
Does this sound like you?
You find yourself slipping terms like “jumpcut” into everyday conversations. You’re obsessed with learning every audio-visual storytelling technique. You drool over high-powered SSDs, RAM, and graphics cards. You want to trim the fat from every video you see mercilessly. You’ve mastered keyboard shortcuts. Bonus: You’re tempted daily to make supercuts and high-quality gifs on the internet.
If you read this list and thought, “Who are these people, and why are they spying on me?” keep reading to find out.
Samiksha Media is expanding aggressively and needs video editors to help grow our library of content.
We’re building a team of people who respect each other, build others up, and are humble, teachable, and entertaining. You must be able to take feedback with humility and a thick skin.
Who We Are Looking For: We are looking for a skilled, intuitive, and speedy editor to help us produce excellent YouTube tutorials. It will help if you have a good eye for design.

Words that describe you: Technophile, Teachable, Ambitious, Creative, Intuitive, Prompt, Meticulous, Outspoken, Communicative
This is a creative role. You will have an extensive amount of creative input on the final product. Therefore, you should not need a ton of direction for specific edits. Once the team has told you their creative vision, your intuition can do the rest.
You need to take the initiative.

You Take Pride in Your Work.
When you send out any completed assignment, you can look at it and say, “This represents how good of an editor I am.” To you, tasks are more than tasks; they’re opportunities for you to make a statement about your skill. You take ownership of every bit of video editing you do.
At the same time, you’re always looking to improve and are hungry for feedback.
If everything you have read so far feels right and you meet the requirements below, let’s talk.
What You're Going To Do With Us
1. Work directly with the Media Coordinator and Content Manager to produce YouTube tutorial videos that will grab viewers by the horns and keep their attention.
2. Be an educator. The vast majority of content we will ask you to edit will be in-depth, step-by-step tutorials. You need to add educational and brand value to every edit you make.
3. Be a storyteller. You need to embrace this opportunity and tell an engaging story with every video that punches the funny bone and the heart.
This is a remote position. Powerful hardware, software, and internet speeds are musts.
What You Already Bring to the Table
- 4-10+ years of video editing experience with a strong emphasis on internet culture, You tube, and edutainment. You might be able to sneak in with less paid experience, but then your portfolio better melts our faces off with how excellent it is.
