  • Ensure all video content aligns with brand guidelines and communicates the desired message effectively.
  • Design and create engaging motion graphics and animations to enhance video content and support marketing campaigns.
  • Incorporate graphics, titles, lower thirds, transitions, and other visual elements to elevate the overall production quality.
  • Manage multiple video projects simultaneously, ensuring timely delivery and high-quality results.
  • Coordinate with internal teams and external vendors to plan and execute video shoots and productions.
  • Maintain organized files and records of all video projects, including raw footage, project files, and final versions.
  • Work closely with marketing, communications, product, and other internal teams to understand project requirements and deliver creative solutions that meet their needs.
  • Collaborate with copywriters, designers, and other stakeholders to create cohesive and impactful visual content.
  • Participate in brainstorming sessions and contribute creative ideas to enhance marketing campaigns and initiatives.
  • Uphold brand standards and guidelines, ensuring all video and motion graphics content is consistent and on-brand.
  • Continuously seek opportunities to enhance visual identity through video and motion graphics.
  • Stay up to date with industry trends, tools, and best practices to continuously improve video production skills and bring fresh ideas to the team.
  • Experiment with new video techniques and technologies to create innovative and cutting-edge content.

Qualifications

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in video production and motion graphics, preferably in a corporate or agency setting including experience working within, and contributing, to an integrated Brand Design System.
  • Proficient in video editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro) and motion graphics software (Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D).
  • Experience using AI for content and creative generation.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing a range of video and motion graphics projects.
  • Excellent understanding of video production processes, including pre-production, production, and post-production.
  • Strong storytelling skills with the ability to create engaging and visually compelling content.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and a keen eye for aesthetics and visual composition.
  • Ability to take constructive feedback and iterate content based on input from stakeholders.
  • Strong time management and organizational skills, with the ability to meet deadlines and manage multiple projects.
  • Knowledge of 3D animation and visual effects.
  • Familiarity with sound design and audio editing.
  • Experience with live streaming and webinar production.
  • Experience with Adobe Workfront is preferred.
  • Possess an in-depth working knowledge of designing to meet accessibility standards, ensuring all creative experiences and data visualizations are inclusive and compliant.
  • Editor with motion experience or motion designer with editor experience is a plus (but not a dealbreaker) as is a motion designer with some 3d (ideally cinema4D) experience.
