Video Editor / Motion Graphics Designer

About the Role
We are seeking a highly creative Video Editor / Motion Graphics Designer who can transform ideas, raw footage, and creative direction into visually compelling content. This role goes beyond merely cutting footage; we want someone who understands motion, kinetic typography, animation, pacing, sound, visual storytelling, and design, and knows how to combine these elements to create content that captivates audiences. You will work under the guidance of a creative brief while also contributing your own ideas, references, and direction.

What You'll Do

• Edit high-quality short-form and long-form video content across social media, campaigns, brand content, and digital platforms.
• Create kinetic typography, motion graphics, animations, title sequences, creative transitions, and visual effects.
• Transform raw footage into polished and engaging content with minimal direction.
• Take creative concepts from idea through to final execution, bringing your own creative ideas to each project.
• Experiment with editing styles, typography, transitions, sound design, and visual treatments.
• Use motion and animation intentionally to elevate storytelling.
• Select music, sound effects, and other creative elements that enhance the final edit.
• Create content optimized for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and other digital platforms.
• Collaborate with designers, marketers, and the wider creative team.
• Use AI tools alongside traditional editing software to enhance workflows, generate assets, explore concepts, and push creative boundaries.
• Stay ahead of emerging editing styles, social trends, motion design techniques, and AI technologies.
• Manage multiple projects while maintaining a consistently high creative standard.
• Maintain organized project files, footage, and post-production workflows.

Requirements
What We're Looking For

• 3–4+ years of professional video editing/motion design experience.
• Currently based in the UAE.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Strong understanding of motion graphics, animation, and kinetic typography.
• Strong grasp of typography, composition, visual hierarchy, and graphic design principles.
• Excellent sense of pacing, rhythm, and storytelling.
• Strong sound design and music selection skills.
• Experience with color correction/grading, masking, tracking, compositing, and keyframing.
• Knowledge of social-first editing, including hooks, retention, pacing, and platform-specific formats.
• Ability to work independently and confidently make creative decisions.
• Ability to accept feedback and creative direction while adding your own ideas.
• Exceptional attention to detail.
• Ability to derive visual interest from relatively simple footage.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced creative environment with multiple projects and deadlines.
• Curious, experimental, and continuously exploring new creative techniques.
• Experience incorporating AI into video production and post-production workflows.

Bonus Skills

• Experience with DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, Cinema 4D, CapCut, AI video generation, AI image generation, or generative motion tools would be an advantage.
• Experience working within a creative agency, marketing agency, production studio, or social-first content team is also highly desirable.

Portfolio Required

• A portfolio or showreel must be submitted with your application. We want to see more than basic edits; your portfolio should demonstrate your ability in motion graphics, kinetic typography, creative transitions, animation, social-first editing, visual storytelling, sound design, and experimental/creative editing. Applications without a portfolio/showreel will not be considered.

Who We're Looking For

• We are not simply looking for someone who knows how to use Premiere Pro and After Effects. We seek a creative thinker who happens to be a great editor—someone who can take an idea and enhance it with their vision. If you love making things move, look, and feel different, we would like to see what you can do.
