- Double-check facts with two trusted sources before we move.
- Find usable clips/photos and write a short brief for editors (title, hook, 3 key points).
- Work with video editors to get the cut out quickly and cleanly.
- Share quick status updates: whatin progress, whatnext, and when itready.
- Review results weekly and suggest small improvements to titles, hooks, and formats.
What were looking for
- Strong interest in U.S. politics (or the drive to learn fast).
- Experience working in a creative/video team and collaborating with editors.
- You understand how social media works (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels).
- You can write clear, punchy titles, hooks, and short scripts.
- Organized, reliable, and comfortable working on quick turnarounds.
- Basic sense of what makes a video clickable in the first 35 seconds.
How well know youre great
- You spot strong stories early and flag them quickly.
- Your titles/hooks lift performance above our usual views.
- You hand off clean briefs and keep editors unblocked.
- You communicate clearly and hit your ETAs.
Nice to have
- Prior newsroom or short-form news experience.
- Basic editing familiarity (Premiere/CapCut) and thumbnail ideas.
Benefits
- Remote Work Flexibility: Work from anywhere across India with flexible hours.
- Creative Freedom: Autonomy to pitch ideas, explore trends, and shape editorial direction.
- Growth Opportunity: Be part of a fast-growing media-tech company working with top global publishers.
- Collaborative Culture: Work closely with content creators, editors, and strategists in a dynamic, team-focused environment.
- Learning-First Environment: Access to editorial tools, trend tracking platforms, and real-time content performance data.
