JOB DESCRIPTION

Summary/Objective

The Video Editor/Motion Designer is a hybrid role – part hands-on video editor, part motion designer, and maybe a little bit second camera shooter as a bonus. Most importantly, this person is a visual storyteller. You are an expert in all things video production and just as comfortable participating in a shoot as you are cutting that shoot in Premiere and After Effects. Regardless, if it’s an internal training video, branded social content or a live Town Hall broadcast, you make sure projects are scheduled, run smoothly, and adhere to expected timelines, budgets and creative vision.

Essential Functions

• Be an excellent visual storyteller with the ability to edit footage and add motion elements to deliver a tight polished video narrative.
• Collaborate with internal Creative and Marketing teams to concept, storyboard, and produce video content to satisfy internal briefs.
• Be responsible for the look, tone, and narrative arc of video content in alignment with brand voice.
• Clearly communicate production and editing processes to teams, handle multiple projects simultaneously, and proactively prioritize work with Creative Director.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
