Job Overview

Role Context

Google's India Marketing team runs some of the country's most-watched digital campaigns — from emotional Search stories to high-energy product launch films and Doodle animations. Freelance Video Editors are brought in to support the in-house creative studio team — handling assembly cuts, graphics integration, colour grading, audio mixing, and delivery packaging for multi-platform campaigns. Google's creative standards are exceptionally high and its India-specific content often goes on to be showcased globally — making this a highly visible portfolio-building opportunity for freshers entering the video production industry.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit marketing video content — TVCs, digital short-form videos, product demos, and social media reels — in Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro
• Create motion graphics, lower thirds, and animated title sequences using Adobe After Effects
• Colour grade footage to match Google's brand visual identity and platform-specific delivery standards
• Mix and clean audio tracks — dialogue, music, and sound effects — ensuring broadcast-quality audio output
• Manage multiple video format exports for YouTube (16:9), Instagram Reels (9:16), and display ad formats
• Integrate subtitles, translations, and accessibility captions across Indian language variants
• Collaborate with Google's creative directors and brand managers through remote review cycles

Requirements & Skills

• Degree or diploma in Film/Media Production, Visual Communication, or Animation — 2024/2025 batch
• Adobe Premiere Pro proficiency is essential; After Effects and Audition are strongly preferred
• Strong sense of visual storytelling — pacing, cut rhythm, and emotional arc in branded content
• Understanding of aspect ratio variants, codec standards, and multi-platform video delivery
• Portfolio of video editing work demonstrating technical quality and creative judgment
• Good English and Hindi communication for remote creative direction collaboration

Benefits & Work Conditions

• ₹6–12 LPA annualized contract rate — among the highest freelance rates for freshers in the sector
• Fully remote work flexibility
• Google-brand portfolio credit — significant career value in the industry
• Exposure to Google's global creative production standards and multi-platform content delivery workflows
• Potential for contract renewal and long-term retainer engagement

Who Should Apply

A fresh media graduate with a strong portfolio and genuine passion for storytelling through video — who is excited by the idea of editing content for one of the world's most recognized brands. You are technically precise in Premiere Pro, have a sharp sense of visual pacing, and work well within creative brief constraints while bringing your own judgment to the edit.
