A Little About Us -

We’re DMS Designs, a Bengaluru-based creative branding and marketing consultancy. We work with businesses across industries, helping them build stronger brands, communicate creatively, and create meaningful connections with their audiences. From established retail businesses and jewellery brands to emerging companies, our work brings together branding, design, storytelling, content, and marketing. We’re a growing creative agency that believes good content should do more than just look visually appealing.

It should tell a story, capture attention, evoke emotion, and leave an impression. And we’re looking for someone who shares that belief.

The Role -

Can you take a collection of raw footage and turn it into a story people actually want to watch?

We’re looking for a Video Editor who enjoys storytelling, experimenting with editing styles, and bringing creative ideas to life through video. Someone who understands that editing isn’t just about cutting clips, adding transitions, or syncing footage to trending music. It’s about understanding the story, the audience, the pacing, and the purpose behind every frame.

You’ll work on a mix of social media reels, brand films, product videos, promotional campaigns, lifestyle content, and other digital video projects. Some days, you might be editing a premium jewellery campaign. Other days, you could be working on a founder-led video, a product showcase, a lifestyle reel, or experimenting with an entirely different storytelling approach. We’re looking for someone who can bring creativity, technical expertise, and attention to detail to every project.

This is a full-time, Bengaluru-based hybrid position. You’ll work from home on designated days and collaborate with the team in person at our office as required. This is not a completely remote position.

• Maintain consistency in editing styles, visual identity, and overall content quality.

Video Editing \& Post-Production

• Transform raw footage into polished, engaging, and professionally edited videos.
• Work with pacing, transitions, sequencing, music, and visual storytelling.
• Perform colour correction, colour grading, audio balancing, and sound design.

• Experiment with different editing styles while maintaining brand consistency.
• Understand the importance of hooks, storytelling structure, pacing, and audience retention.
• Contribute creative ideas that improve the overall quality and effectiveness of videos.

• Create engaging text animations, titles, subtitles, and basic motion graphics.
• Apply typography, composition, colour, and visual hierarchy principles to video content.
• Integrate graphics, product visuals, and other design elements into video edits.
• Use motion and visual effects purposefully to enhance storytelling rather than simply adding decoration.

Collaboration \& Creative Workflow

• Collaborate with the founders, content team, designers, and other video editors.
• Participate in creative discussions, brainstorming sessions, and video reviews.
• Manage multiple editing projects and prioritise work according to deadlines.
• Maintain organised project files, editable source files, and final exports.
• Communicate progress, requirements, and potential delays proactively.
• Take responsibility for the quality, accuracy, and timely delivery of assigned projects.
