Overview

We are looking for a Creative Video Editor and Motion Designer who thrives in fast-paced, always-on environments. You live in the edit, understand what captures attention instantly, and know how to turn raw footage into sharp, compelling stories across formats.

You will be part of an agile social content engine working on global brands, producing high-impact content with speed, instinct, and creative precision. You will operate as part of a tight, autonomous unit alongside a Content Art Director and a Content Videographer/Photographer, owning output from capture to final delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit high volumes of social-first video content across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and emerging formats
• De-rush footage quickly and identify strong narrative moments without relying on a storyboard
• Craft platform-native edits that feel current, dynamic, and culturally relevant
• Deliver multiple cuts and versions within tight timelines
• Shape storytelling through pacing, rhythm, transitions, and sound design
• Adapt content across formats, ratios, and placements
• Collaborate closely within your content unit while contributing to a broader agile workflow
• Bring ideas forward and actively elevate the work

What You Bring

• 3 to 5 years of experience in video editing and motion design, ideally in social or digital environments
• Strong storytelling instincts, even with raw or unstructured footage
• Ability to edit without a storyboard and still deliver clear, engaging narratives
• Sharp eye for what feels cool, beautiful, and on trend
• Strong sense of timing, pacing, and visual rhythm
• Solution-oriented mindset with a bias for action
• Comfort working under pressure with fast turnarounds
• Deep understanding of platform nuances and performance drivers
• Experience working in small, autonomous creative teams is a strong asset

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in Adobe and/or Apple creative suites (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion)
• Familiarity with motion graphics, typography, and animation principles
• Solid understanding of sound design, color correction, and basic grading
• Strong knowledge of social-first formats, compression, and export best practices

What Success Looks Like

• You consistently deliver high-quality edits at speed
• Your work feels culturally relevant, sharp, and intentional
• You elevate content through storytelling, not just assembly
• You are trusted to jump into raw footage and find the story fast
• You contribute to a team that moves quickly and raises the bar
