Senior Video Editor

About this role

Senior Video Editor Manifest Global · Delhi, India

What This Role Is

Every day, students across India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond are making one of the most consequential decisions of their lives — where to study, which country to move to, which university to trust with the next four years. The counselors guiding them, the schools supporting them, and the universities trying to reach them are all part of an ecosystem that Manifest Global connects. Video is how that ecosystem sees Manifest — in a product explainer that makes a counselor understand Saige in ninety seconds, in a performance ad that stops a student mid-scroll, in a brand film that makes a university admissions director understand why Explore is different from every other outreach platform they have been pitched.

Right now, Manifest produces video across four brands, multiple markets, and dozens of formats — social content, product narratives, campaign storytelling, event coverage. The work reaches students, counselors, educators, and university partners globally. The question is whether the video output consistently reflects the quality and ambition of what Manifest is building — or whether it looks like what most EdTech companies produce.

This role exists to make sure it is the former.

The Senior Video Editor is the primary creative force behind Manifest Global's video output. This is a hands-on individual contributor role with end-to-end ownership of post-production — from raw footage through to final export — and the creative authority to set the standard for how Manifest's brands look, sound, and move on screen. You will work across campaigns, product launches, performance marketing, and brand storytelling. You will bring both the craft and the editorial judgment to make every frame of content worth watching.

What Makes This Role Different

Senior video editing roles in marketing teams often sit downstream of every creative decision. The brief arrives, the footage arrives, and the editor assembles. The creative direction has already happened elsewhere.

This role is not that. Manifest is building a central creative function where the Senior Video Editor shapes the editorial direction — not just executes it. When a campaign brief comes in, you are in the conceptualisation conversation, not waiting for the footage. When a product narrative needs to be told, you are the person who decides how it is told, not the person who renders someone else's storyboard. The craft is the baseline. The editorial judgment is what this role is actually hired for.

The scope is also genuinely broad. Four brands, multiple markets, student-facing content and institutional content that require completely different editorial sensibilities, performance ads and brand films that are the same craft applied to opposite objectives. The Senior Video Editor who can hold all of that — and make each piece feel like it was made with intention for its specific audience — is doing something that most video editors in marketing environments are not asked to do.
