Video & photo editor | fashion | someone with good taste

We're hiring someone who genuinely has an eye for this stuff. Not "I use Photoshop" we mean someone who looks at a raw shoot and already knows which frame is the hero, which cut makes the reel actually watchable, and which grade will make a product look like it belongs on the brand's page.
You'll be working across three fashion brands, and honestly that's the fun part and the hard part. Each one has its own personality: one's clean and minimal, another's louder and trend-driven, the third does its own thing. You need to be able to jump between them and still make each one feel right, without everything starting to look the same because it came out of the same laptop.
What the job actually looks like Video
Editing reels, UGC, campaign videos, ads: the stuff that has to hold attention in the first two seconds
Understanding how to edit for different platforms is essential. A great You Tube edit is not the same as a great IG Reel. Knowing how each platform works and tailoring your editing style accordingly is very important.
Working with trending audio/transitions when it makes sense, skipping it when it doesn't
Color grading so footage actually looks like it's from the brand it's for
Photo
Retouching product and campaign shoots to a proper commercial standard
Compositing, color correction, cleanup: the usual, done well
Taking one shoot and adapting it across formats (feed, story, banner, product page) without it feeling like a lazy crop job
The part that matters most
This role is really about taste. You should be able to look at something and immediately know if it fits Brand A but not Brand B, and be able to explain why if someone asks. If something's technically fine but just feels flat, you should be comfortable saying so and fixing it. You're the last pair of eyes before anything goes live, so if it's not right, it shouldn't ship.
Day to day
Managing multiple briefs and deadlines across three brands at once
Keeping raw and edited files organized (no one wants to hunt for a file at 11pm before a launch)
Working closely with the content strategist, photographers and founders so the final edit actually matches what was intended
What we're looking for Fresher / 1+ years of experience editing both video and photo: not just one or the other
Please attach your resume along with your portfolio or samples of your previous work when applying. This is a mandatory requirement, and applications submitted without a portfolio or work samples will not be considered.
A portfolio that shows range, not just one look repeated
Comfortable in Premiere Pro / Final Cut / Da Vinci Resolve
Comfortable in Photoshop / Lightroom
A real eye for fashion: proportion, color, mood, styling
Can work fast without cutting corners (fashion e-com moves quickly, deadlines are real)
Can keep three different brand identities straight without mixing them up
Nice to have Basic motion graphics/animation skills
Some shooting experience (makes you a better editor)
Actually spends time on Instagram/Tik Tok/YT studying what works, not just scrolling
