What We’re Looking For: Passion: Deep love and understanding of the Entertainment industry Language Skills: Top-tier proficiency in written English News Sense: Sharp editing eye, speed, and storytelling flair

This is more than just a technical editing job. We want someone who understands storytelling, timing, audience engagement, and newsroom needs.

What we are looking for

You should be confident using Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or another professional editing platform. You should also have:

• Strong video editing and visual communication skills
• Basic to advanced knowledge of motion graphics
• A good sense of pacing, typography, text animation, and visual presentation
• Understanding of sound balancing, music, voice-over, and audio treatment

• Knowledge of YouTube and Facebook content policies, including copyright, community standards, and issues that may lead to restrictions or strikes
• Ability to work calmly and efficiently when deadlines are tight
• Professional work ethics, patience, reliability, and attention to detail

Thumbnail creation skills in Photoshop and Illustrator are a plus. Experience of working in a newsroom or digital media environment is highly preferred.

Extra skills we would love

If you can also record voice-overs, present content, develop story ideas, write or improve scripts, or independently identify digital stories, we would be highly interested in hearing from you. Portfolio/showreel is strongly encouraged.

We are looking for someone who understands how journalism should be packaged, checked, and presented before it reaches an audience.

What you will do

You will help manage and publish Daily Times of Bangladesh content across platforms, including Facebook and YouTube. Your work will include:

• Uploading and publishing multimedia content
• Creating effective titles, captions, and descriptions
• Checking spelling, names, facts, and basic information before publication
• Knowing about thumbnails and helping choose or make suitable designs
• Making sure content is accurately formatted for different platforms
• Understanding YouTube and Facebook publishing policies
• Identifying possible copyright, community-guideline, or monetization risks before publication
• Checking links, tags, metadata, and other publishing details
• Working with editors, presenters, and the newsroom when corrections or changes are required
• Following developing stories and digital audience trends

We care more about accuracy than speed, but you still need to be comfortable with newsroom deadlines. Basic graphic design skills, good editorial judgment, fact-checking ability, and experience with social media data will be a plus.

We want multimedia sub-editors who can work in journalism, production, and creative teamwork. You should be able to take information or a breaking news story and think: what is the story here? How should we tell it? What does the audience need to know?

Your job may include

• Editing and restructuring news copy for multimedia use
• Turning reports, information, and research into scripts or digital content
• Fact-checking names, numbers, claims, dates, and sources
• Identifying misinformation, manipulated content, or questionable viral material
• Helping develop explainer videos, news packages, and other multimedia formats
• Preparing concise instructions and story directions for video editors
• Coordinating between reporters, editors, presenters, and production teams
• Helping organize recurring programs and special multimedia projects
• Writing or editing headlines, hooks, captions, and teleprompter scripts
• Following developing stories and suggesting suitable content ideas
• Securing accuracy, clarity, and consistency before publication

We are particularly interested in people who are curious, organized, editorially alert, and able to work with clarity under pressure. Experience in journalism, digital media, research, video production, or content development will be an advantage.

We are looking for people who can communicate naturally, understand what they are saying, and connect with an audience.

What we are looking for

• Strong on-camera presentation skills
• Clear pronunciation and confident delivery
• Ability to understand and communicate news accurately
• Ability to work comfortably with a teleprompter
• Good preparation habits, reliability, and punctuality
• Basic ability to edit or improve scripts before presentation
• The judgment to shorten or simplify a script when necessary
• Ability to work with producers and editors in a newsroom environment

Candidates capable of presenting in both Bangla and English will be highly preferred. Being stronger in one language and less comfortable in the other will not automatically be a disadvantage — we care more about your communication ability, confidence, and potential.

Experience in news presentation, television, online video, radio, podcasting, theatre, debate, or public speaking may be useful, but talented newcomers are also welcome. A presentation reel or sample video is encouraged.
