We’re a rocketship: 9-figure revenue, record growth, and profitable

With $200M+ in revenue, guests in 700+ cities, and 18 months of profitability, Headout is the fastest-growing marketplace in the travel industry, and we’re just getting started. We've raised $60M+ from top-tier investors and are building a durable company for the long term — because that's what our mission needs and deserves. We’re growing, profitable and nowhere near done.

What we do is important

In an increasingly digital world, there is a desperate need to augment our human experience by getting us to interact with the real world around us and the people in it. At Headout, our mission is to be the easiest, fastest, and most delightful way to head out to a real-life experience — from immersive tours to museums to live events and everything in between.

Why now?

The foundation is strong. The opportunity ahead is even bigger. We’ve hit profitability, built momentum, and proven the model — but there’s so much more to build. If you’re looking to join a company where the trajectory is steep and your impact is real, this is the moment.

Our culture

Reinventing the travel industry isn't easy, but that's the fun part.

We care deeply about ownership, craft, and impact, and we’re here to do the best work of our careers. We won’t pretend like it’s for everyone but if you’re a builder who loves solving tough problems, you’ll feel right at home.

👩💻 The Role

At Headout, we believe some of the world's most fascinating stories are hidden inside maps, transport systems, landmarks, and cities. As a Senior Video Editor, your job is to help millions of travelers discover and understand them.

You'll create long form and short form travel content that makes exploring the world simpler, whether that's navigating Central Park, understanding the Paris Metro, or finding the right entrance to a museum. You'll own the editing process end to end, combining strong storytelling, motion graphics, and thoughtful pacing to turn complex information into engaging, easy-to-follow videos.

This role is based in Bengaluru. We're looking for candidates who are local or open to relocating.

🤩 What Makes This Role Special?

• Help millions travel better: Your work will simplify travel for audiences around the world, making destinations, transport systems, and attractions easier to understand through engaging visual storytelling.
• Own the creative process: From pacing and structure to motion graphics and final polish, you'll shape every video into an experience that's both informative and enjoyable to watch.
• Build content that gets discovered: Think beyond editing by creating videos that are optimized for search, helping travelers find the answers they're actively looking for.
• Create systems, not just videos: Improve workflows, reusable templates, and editing processes that help the entire team move faster while maintaining quality.
• Collaborate with a high-performing creative team: Partner with producers to experiment with formats, evolve our visual language, and continuously improve the way we tell stories.

💝 What Skills & Experience Do You Need?

• 4 to 6 years of professional video editing experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates exceptional storytelling, pacing, and audience engagement. A portfolio is mandatory.
• Strong expertise in editing long form content, with the ability to maintain clarity, structure, and viewer retention throughout.
• Proficiency in motion graphics, using animation to simplify maps, transport systems, layouts, and other complex concepts.
• Experience creating or supporting short form content that complements larger storytelling initiatives.
• A strong understanding of YouTube SEO and content discoverability, with experience optimizing titles, chapters, metadata, and the overall viewing experience.
• Advanced proficiency with industry-standard editing and motion design software, with the ability to build efficient workflows and solve creative or technical challenges independently.
• Excellent organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• A systems mindset, with a track record of improving processes, creating reusable assets, and leaving every project better than you found it.
• Strong creative judgment, knowing when to refine details and when to make pragmatic decisions that keep projects moving without compromising quality.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience partnering closely with producers and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver high-quality content.
