About this role
Inc42 is Indias #1 media and intelligence platform on the startup economy - covering journalism, Datalabs (Indias largest free startup database, with 75,000+ companies), our flagship Editorial IPs (AI Summit, D2C Retail Summit, FAST42, D2C Retreat), and Griffin , Indias most curated private founder club.
Inc42 is building its YouTube division from 0 to 1. Were revamping the channel, setting the strategy, building the formats and scaling it - long-form explainers, founder conversations, podcasts and original IPs built on a decade of startup journalism and data.
The edit is where that gets won or lost. Were hiring a senior editor who treats YouTube as its own language, takes a project from raw footage to final master without needing every decision prescribed, and sets the post-production standard the rest of the division works to.
- Long-form YouTube edits, end to end: Explainers, founder interviews, podcasts and documentary-style stories, from raw footage to final master. This is the core of the job.
- Story and structure in the edit: Finding the strongest moments, restructuring when the material demands it, building the opening and the momentum, knowing when to cut and when to let a moment breathe.
- Podcast and multi-cam turnaround: Fast, clean first cuts on multi-camera conversations, so a shoot reaches the audience while it still matters.
- Visual storytelling: B-roll, archival, screenshots, charts, on-screen text, sound design and everyday motion graphics that keep information-heavy subjects moving.
- Shorts from long-form: Platform-native Shorts and cutdowns that are rebuilt for the format, not chopped from the timeline.
- The post-production standard: Templates, presets, project structure, review workflow and delivery specs, including reviewing and raising the bar on freelance edits.
- AI in the pipeline: Transcription, cleanup, roto, upscaling, generative assets - used every day where they genuinely make the work better or faster.
- A YouTube editor at heart: You know YouTube pacing is not television pacing, and your reel proves it.
- Editorially independent: You look at raw footage and see the story. You challenge weak sections and suggest structure, rather than waiting for a script to cut to.
- Retention-conscious: You can point to where viewers drop off in a video you cut, and explain what youd change.
- Fast without being sloppy: Youve delivered against fixed dates on footage-heavy projects, and your first cuts arrive close to final.
- Systems-minded: You think about how the next ten edits get faster, not just how to finish this one.
- AI-native: AI tools are part of how you work, not an experiment you tried once.
- Open on background: YouTube channels, digital newsrooms, creator teams or production houses. We care about the reel and the judgement, not the logo.
Must have: 6+ years of professional editing with substantial long-form YouTube work Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve working After Effects for everyday motion colour and audio finishing comfort with large multi-cam projects.
Good to have: podcast editing documentary or explainer work advanced motion design event films.
- Get inside the channel, the formats in production and the current post-production workflow.
- Take over live edits, starting with podcasts, and bring first-cut turnaround down.
- Put the first version of the templates, presets and delivery specs in place.
- Agree the review and approval steps with the Head of YouTube Distribution, with time limits on each.
- A 0-to-1 build: you set the editing language of a new YouTube division.
- High-visibility work with Indias founders, investors and business leaders.
- Real data and editorial depth behind every story you cut.
- Budget for software, plugins and the tools to do premium work.
- Competitive compensation.
- Delhi-based, in-person.
