Freelance Video Editor – Digital Marketing

About This Role

Microsoft India is hiring fresh graduates as Freelance Video Editors within its India Digital Marketing and Corporate Communications teams. You will produce video content supporting Microsoft India's product marketing — Azure cloud campaigns, Microsoft 365 business content, Surface device launches, Xbox gaming content, and LinkedIn brand stories targeted at India's enterprise and consumer audiences.

Job Overview

Role Context

Microsoft India's marketing team produces a wide variety of video content — from B2B Azure and Microsoft 365 thought leadership films to consumer Surface and Xbox product launch videos and Microsoft AI explainer animations. Freelance Video Editors are embedded in Microsoft's India content production pipeline — working under the direction of Microsoft's brand and campaign teams to edit, finish, and deliver high-quality video content across Microsoft's India digital channels, YouTube, LinkedIn, and partner platforms. Microsoft's brand consistency standards and global style guides give freshers structured exposure to enterprise-quality video production workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit marketing video content for Microsoft India campaigns — product demos, customer success stories, thought leadership interviews, and campaign hero films
• Create motion graphics and animated infographics using Adobe After Effects — particularly for Azure and Microsoft 365 B2B explainer content
• Apply Microsoft's brand visual identity — typography, colour palette, and visual style — consistently across all video deliverables
• Colour grade and finish footage for broadcast and digital platform delivery standards
• Produce short-form social variants for LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram alongside long-form versions
• Manage project timelines, revision cycles, and final delivery through Microsoft's content review tools

Requirements & Skills

• Degree or diploma in Film/Media Production, Communication Design, or related field — 2024/2025 batch
• Adobe Premiere Pro proficiency is essential; After Effects and Adobe Audition are preferred
• Understanding of B2B tech video content — explainers, customer testimonials, and product demos
• Strong motion graphics skills — animated text, icon animations, and data visualization for B2B content
• Good attention to brand guidelines and style consistency across video deliverables
• Portfolio demonstrating corporate or technology video editing quality

Benefits & Work Conditions

• ₹5–9 LPA annualized contract rate
• Fully remote engagement
• Microsoft brand portfolio credit across B2B and consumer technology video content
• Exposure to enterprise-quality video production workflows and brand management standards
• Potential for long-term retainer and expanded scope across Microsoft India's product lines

Who Should Apply

A fresh media graduate with strong motion graphics skills and comfort with B2B corporate video content — who finds technology product storytelling and enterprise brand communication as creatively interesting as consumer advertising. You are organized, brand-disciplined, and produce clean, professional video deliverables that reflect well on a globally recognized technology brand.
