Video Editor

METEOR Media   Colombo • Full-time

About METEOR

METEOR is a Dubai-based creative agency working with clients across real estate, hospitality, lifestyle and F&B. We produce high-quality video content, social media campaigns, photography and design for some of the most exciting brands in the UAE and beyond. We are now building our Sri Lanka production team — a group of talented, AI-empowered creatives who will work alongside our Dubai team to deliver outstanding work at scale.

This is not a remote freelance arrangement. You will be a full METEOR team member, employed under METEOR Sri Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, with a stable salary, structured career progression and direct access to senior creatives in Dubai.

The Role

We are looking for a skilled Video Editor to join our Colombo-based production team. You will edit a wide range of content — short-form social videos, brand films, property walkthroughs, reels and campaign assets — for clients across the UAE and international markets. You will work closely with our Dubai-based Videographer/Producer, who will brief you on each project and review your edits before they go to clients.

This role is ideal for someone who is technically strong, fast without cutting corners, and genuinely excited about using AI tools to work smarter.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Editing short-form and long-form video content for social media, websites and campaigns
  • Cutting reels, stories and TikTok-format content to briefs provided by the Dubai team
  • Colour grading and audio mixing to a professional broadcast standard
  • Adding subtitles, motion graphics and text overlays as required
  • Using AI tools including Runway ML, Descript and OpusClip to accelerate your workflow
  • Managing multiple projects simultaneously and delivering to strict internal deadlines
  • Uploading completed edits to Frame.io for review and acting on feedback promptly
  • Maintaining organised project files and a clean asset management system

What We Are Looking For

Essential

  • Minimum 2 years of professional video editing experience
  • Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro — this is our primary editing platform
  • Solid understanding of colour grading, audio mixing and export formats for social media
  • Experience editing content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and other social platforms
  • Excellent attention to detail and a strong sense of pacing and storytelling
  • Ability to work independently and manage your own time effectively
  • Strong written English — you will communicate daily with the Dubai team via Slack

Desirable

  • Experience with After Effects for basic motion graphics
  • Familiarity with AI video tools such as Runway ML, Pika or Descript
  • Experience working with international clients or remote teams
  • Portfolio demonstrating range across social content and longer-form work

What METEOR Offers

  • Competitive salary of LKR 422,000/month (AED 1,150) — 30% above the Colombo market rate
  • Full employment under METEOR Sri Lanka (Pvt) Ltd with EPF and ETF contributions
  • Structured onboarding including two weeks of paid AI tool training
  • Quarterly performance reviews with salary review at 6 months
  • Direct mentorship from a senior Dubai-based creative
  • The opportunity to work on campaigns for international brands from day one
  • A clear path to senior editor and beyond as the Sri Lanka team grows
