We value fresh perspectives and a commitment to innovation, helping us transform ideas into campaigns that truly make an impact.
Your Role as a Senior Video Content Creator
As a visual storyteller and a key member of our digital team, you will bring scripts and strategies to life through motion.

- Master Post-Production: Execute high-quality editing, color grading, audio mixing, and motion graphics using industry-standard software (Adobe Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, etc.).
- Visual Strategy: Translate marketing objectives into dynamic visual formats, ensuring content is optimized for various platforms (IG Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts).
- Collaborate & Pitch: Work alongside the creative team to develop visual concepts for pitch presentations and produce "sizzle reels" or mockups that help win new business.
- Innovate: Stay ahead of the curve on emerging video trends, transitions, and technologies to keep our output fresh and competitive.
- Mentor & Manage: Guide junior creatives and assist in managing production timelines and equipment inventories.
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ Years of Experience: Proven experience in video production, editing, and motion graphics, preferably within an agency or high-paced production environment.
- Technical Mastery: Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop) or similar professional software.
- A Storyteller’s Eye: A strong portfolio/demo reel demonstrating ability in pacing, storytelling, composition, and sound design.
- Versatility: Ability to switch between different styles—from polished corporate interviews to fast-paced, trend-driven social media content.
- Problem Solver: A passion for creative problem-solving and the ability to deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines.
