You'll collaborate closely with other creatives and cross-functional partners on our marketing team to produce great work that defines our brand and that has an impact.

And you'll help us raise the bar while also making the work easier to scale,through better workflows, smarter templates, and mindful use of modern tools.

Here's what you'll do day-to-day:

- Edit brand films, product stories, interviews, explainers, and social-first content

- Design motion graphics, typography, transitions, and animation that serve the story,not the other way around

- Shape expressive arcs through pacing, sound design, and color

- Partner closely with other creatives and cross-functional partners from our marketing, comms and social teams from rough cut through final delivery

- Build repeatable templates and workflows that enable faster turnaround without sacrificing quality

- Use modern editing and motion tools,including AI-enabled workflows,to explore, iterate, and produce more proficiently

- Keep post-production organized and deliver final assets that meet creative and technical standards

Here's what we're looking for:

- 8+ years of experience editing and designing motion for brand, film, agency, or content studios

- Expert-level fluency in editing and motion tools, with curiosity and judgment around emerging AI-enabled methods

- A portfolio that demonstrates well-developed storytelling, mindful motion design, and range across formats

- Sharp instincts for sound design, pacing, color, and transitions

- Comfort transitioning between polished, narrative-driven work and fast, social-first content

- Robust collaboration skills across creative, production, and marketing partners

- A maker mindset,you enjoy improving how work gets made, not just making the work itself
