Lead the daily news desk for a bilingual, digital-first newsroom. Shape editorial direction across video and text, set the bar for accuracy and speed and mentor a young, fast-moving team.

  • Own daily editorial operations as the in-charge of the news desk
  • Shape news angles, polish copy and approve every story before publish
  • Manage shift schedules and mentor reporters and desk staff
  • Make sharp editorial calls to keep our Bengali and English feeds fast and accurate
  • Bring deep, hands-on understanding of digital video storytelling, text-based news platforms, audience trends and web workflows

The heart of a digital-only platform. From fast news cuts to long-form documentaries and podcasts — you set the pace, the sound and the feel.

  • Edit news cuts, interviews, podcasts and documentary-style features
  • Drive narrative flow, pacing and high-energy sound design
  • Work efficiently to tight deadlines without compromising craft
  • Extensive hands-on experience editing on the macOS platform is required

Visual artists who bridge traditional design discipline with various image-editing software for a fast, daily-publishing newsroom.

  • Design thumb-stopping video thumbnails, template layouts and daily branding assets
  • Maintain a consistent visual identity across every story we publish
  • Use modern AI design tools to accelerate production without losing polish
  • Collaborate closely with editors and video team on quick-turnaround creatives

The engine room of the newsroom. Take approved drafts and ship polished, well-packaged stories on our CMS, fast and clean.

  • Format, typeset and proofread approved copy in our digital publishing CMS
  • Pair stories with the right visuals — images, infographics, thumbnails
  • Maintain consistency in style, structure and tagging across every article
  • Queue final pieces for executive editorial sign-off and timely publication
  • Be relentlessly detail-oriented; CMS proficiency is non-negotiable

Dynamic reporters who can chase a story on the ground, shoot the footage and write the analysis. Investigative instincts matter more than press-release rewrites.

  • Lead video news coverage — shoot engaging on-the-ground footage and write the story
  • Break exclusive, investigative pieces rather than file routine daily briefs
  • Produce deep, analytical text reporting for the website
  • Build and protect a strong network of sources across Kolkata and its adjacent districts

Versatile storytellers who can write equally well for video scripts and long-form features across politics, culture, history, religion and lifestyle.

  • Write tight, high-engagement scripts for our news and feature videos
  • Craft well-researched text stories that turn complex events into clear narratives
  • Adapt tone for our dual-language audience in Bengali and/or English
  • Pitch original story ideas with a strong point of view
