Short-Form Media Editor
Job Description
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
Qualifications
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
