Job description

Creative Manager - Video & Motion Design (20694)

Atlantis Dubai is part of Kerzner International, and home to two extraordinary resorts: the world-renowned Atlantis, The Palm and the ultra-luxury Atlantis The Royal. Together, they represent world-class service, bold innovation, and unforgettable experiences brought to life.

With over 6,000 colleagues from 129 nationalities, Atlantis Dubai operates as one team, with many departments and back-of-house functions seamlessly supporting both resorts. Across every role and department, our shared purpose is the same: to create amazing experiences and everlasting memories - not only for our guests, but for our colleagues too.

About The Role

As Creative Manager, Video & Motion Design you will be a hands-on, video-led multidisciplinary creative working across AtlantisTheRoyal, AtlantisThePalm, AquaventureWorld and our extensive portfolio of restaurants, bars and experiences.

First and foremost, you must be an exceptional video editor and motion designer with a strong visual eye, excellent storytelling instincts and the ability to personally take moving-image creative from concept through to final execution. You will work across campaigns, brand films, social content, F&B, digital and motion, adapting your creative approach to very different brands and audiences. Strong design fundamentals are also important, allowing you to confidently combine typography, graphic design and motion within your work.

This is an execution-first role. You will lead projects and support the development of the creative team while remaining actively involved in making the work yourself.

Key duties and responsibilities:

• Concept, edit and personally execute video and motion creative across the Atlantis Dubai portfolio.
• Create compelling brand films, campaign content, social videos, short-form content and other moving-image assets.
• Take video projects from brief and concept through edit, motion design, sound and final delivery.
• Create motion graphics, animated typography, graphic transitions and other design-led motion content.
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, shot selection, music, sound design and visual rhythm.
• Adapt moving-image creative across multiple formats and platforms while maintaining the distinct identity of each brand.
• Produce world-class video and motion work that consistently meets Atlantis brand and creative standards.
• Develop creative concepts, treatments, moodboards and storyboards for video and content projects.
• Bring strong design eye to moving image, with a solid understanding of typography, composition, colour and visual hierarchy.
• Support creative development and production of photography, video and content shoots where appropriate.
• Work confidently across luxury hospitality, F&B, lifestyle, entertainment, family and high-energy consumer brands.
• Work closely with the creative team and marketing team to deliver projects to a high standard and within deadline.
• Review and elevate video and motion work, mentor team members and provide clear creative direction and feedback.
• Manage multiple projects and priorities while remaining hands-on in execution.
• Present creative thinking confidently to internal stakeholders.
• Continuously explore new techniques, technologies and creative approaches to push Atlantis moving-image content beyond the expected.

About You

You are an exceptional hands-on video editor and motion designer with a strong portfolio or showreel demonstrating outstanding storytelling, editing, motion design and visual craft. Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects is essential, alongside strong knowledge of the wider Adobe Creative Cloud. A good working knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator and strong graphic design fundamentals are important to this role. You have a sophisticated understanding of music, sound, pacing, typography, composition and visual storytelling, with the ability to adapt your style across very different brands and audiences. You have a strong understanding of premium and luxury aesthetics, but can equally create energetic, entertaining and culturally relevant content for F&B, lifestyle, social and high-energy consumer brands.

Strong conceptual thinking is important. You should be able to contribute ideas, develop treatments and find creative opportunities beyond simply editing the footage you are given. Experience in hospitality is advantageous but not essential. We welcome exceptional creative talent from luxury, fashion, lifestyle, F&B, automotive, entertainment, advertising, production and other premium consumer brands.

You are comfortable leading projects and mentoring creatives without stepping away from execution. You are ambitious, curious and creatively hungry, with high standards, low ego and the drive to continuously push the quality of the work.

Above all, you can think, make and deliver.

We offer a competitive, tax-free salary paid in UAE Dirhams (AED), alongside a wealth of benefits. These include generous food and beverage privileges, exclusive discounted rates at all Kerzner properties worldwide, comprehensive health insurance (with dental coverage), annual flights home, life insurance, an incentive programme, and a variety of colleague wellness and social initiatives.

With a strong emphasis on learning and development, colleagues at Atlantis enjoy access to world-class training, career mobility, and internal growth opportunities across the Kerzner portfolio - making this an ideal environment for ambitious individuals seeking a long-term, fulfilling career in luxury hospitality. Join the A-Team and discover the extraordinary.
