The ideal candidate combines strong editing instincts with motion-design expertise. You should be equally comfortable shaping an edit, animating graphics and timing visuals to audio, while working closely with the design team to maintain a cohesive visual system.

An interest in AI, emerging technology and new approaches to creative production is essential.

This is a 6 month Fixed Term Contract with a possibility of extension or conversion.

What You'll Do

• Time edits and animation precisely to voiceover, music and other audio elements.
• Partner with designers to adapt static assets, layouts, charts and graphics for motion.
• Work with technical writers and producers to maintain narrative clarity and content accuracy.
• Interpret briefs and feedback independently, identifying gaps and asking focused questions when needed.
• Create efficient workflows and reusable motion components that support rapid-turn production.
• Prepare organized project files that can be easily understood and continued by distributed teams.
• Support clear, documented handoffs when work continues across regions or shifts.
• Conduct thorough self-QA across visual quality, timing, audio, spelling, brand alignment, specifications and version control.
• Incorporate feedback quickly while maintaining craft and consistency.
• Use approved AI and creative technology tools to support editing, animation and production efficiency.
• Maintain discretion when working with confidential and highly sensitive information.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in motion design, video editing or post-production within an agency, technology company or in-house creative organization.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.
• Working proficiency in Figma, including navigating files, reviewing components and exporting production-ready assets.
• Strong motion-graphics, animation and editorial storytelling skills.
• Experience working with existing footage, static design assets, voiceover and music.
• Strong understanding of pacing, timing, composition, typography and audio synchronization.
• Ability to animate charts, diagrams and technical information clearly and accurately.
• Familiarity with established brand systems, templates and reusable motion toolkits.
• Strong file organization, version-control and self-QA practices.
• Ability to work autonomously, manage rapid turnarounds and maintain quality when priorities shift.
• Experience working effectively across regions, time zones and distributed teams.
• Clear communication and collaboration skills.
• Interest in AI, emerging technology and production innovation.
