Senior Video Editor/ Motion Designer

Only What's Needed

We're looking for a Motion Designer / Video Editor with 4-6 years of experience who can help turn facts into stories, and stories into content people actually want to watch.

This role sits at the intersection of design, storytelling, internet culture, and education.

What you'll do

• Edit films, social content, product launches, explainers, and founder-led content
• Build compelling narratives from raw footage, scripts, data, and ideas
• Use AI tools across the edit workflow, from generation and enhancement to speed and automation, without losing craft or brand consistency
• Create motion graphics, typography systems, and visual storytelling frameworks
• Develop content that feels native to modern platforms while maintaining a strong brand identity
• Work closely with designers, writers, and the content team to bring ideas to life
• Shape the visual language of a brand that's being built in public

What we're looking for

• 4-6 years of experience in video editing and motion design
• Strong storytelling instincts and an understanding of pacing, structure, and narrative
• Excellent motion graphics and typography skills
• A sharp eye for design, composition, and visual systems
• Strong sound design sensibilities
• Ability to create content that is both informative and engaging

Nice to have

• 4-6 years of experience in video editing and motion design
• Hands-on experience as an AI-led video editor: you actively use AI tools (for example AI video generation, voice, upscaling, rotoscoping, auto-captioning, or script-to-edit workflows) and can blend AI-generated assets with traditional footage and motion work
• Strong storytelling instincts and an understanding of pacing, structure, and narrative
• Excellent motion graphics and typography skills
• A sharp eye for design, composition, and visual systems
• Strong sound design sensibilities
• Ability to create content that is both informative and engaging

You'll thrive here if you

• Care about craft as much as speed
• Can turn complexity into clarity
• Have strong opinions on what makes content watchable
• Constantly save references, ads, edits, creators, and trends
• Enjoy building things from scratch rather than maintaining existing systems
