Job description

Turn ideas, raw footage and creative direction into content people actually want to watch.

The role

We are looking for a highly creative Video Editor / Motion Graphics Designer who can turn ideas, raw footage and creative direction into visually compelling content.

This is not a role for someone who only cuts footage together. We want someone who understands motion, kinetic typography, animation, pacing, sound, visual storytelling and design, and knows how to combine them to create content people actually want to watch.

You should be able to take a creative brief and run with it, while also bringing your own ideas, references and creative direction to the table.

What you’ll do

• Edit high-quality short-form and long-form video 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, engaging content without needing extensive direction.
• Take creative concepts from idea through to final execution.
• Bring your own ideas to projects rather than waiting for every detail to be provided.
• Experiment with editing styles, typography, transitions, sound design and visual treatments.
• Use motion and animation intentionally, to carry the storytelling.
• Choose music, sound effects and other creative elements that strengthen the final edit.
• Create content made for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn and other digital platforms.
• Work with designers, marketers and the wider creative team.
• Use AI tools alongside traditional editing software to speed up workflows, generate assets, explore concepts and push what is possible.
• Stay ahead of emerging editing styles, social trends, motion design techniques and AI technology.
• Run several projects at once while keeping a consistently high creative standard.
• Keep project files, footage and post-production workflows organised.

What we’re looking for

• 3–4+ years of professional video editing and motion design experience.
• Currently based in the UAE.
• Advanced Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro.
• A strong understanding of motion graphics, animation and kinetic typography.
• A strong understanding of typography, composition, visual hierarchy and graphic design principles.
• An excellent sense of pacing, rhythm and storytelling.
• Strong sound design and music selection.
• Experience with colour correction and grading, masking, tracking, compositing and keyframing.
• A strong grasp of social-first editing: hooks, retention, pacing and platform-specific formats.
• The confidence to work independently and make creative decisions.
• The ability to take feedback and creative direction while still contributing your own ideas.
• Exceptional attention to detail.
• The ability to take relatively simple footage and find ways to make it visually interesting.
• Comfort in a fast-paced creative environment with several projects and deadlines.
• Curiosity: experimental, and always looking for new creative techniques.
• Experience bringing 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 is an advantage.

So is experience inside a creative agency, marketing agency, production studio or social-first content team.

Portfolio required

A portfolio or showreel must be submitted with your application.

We want to see more than basic edits. Show us motion graphics, kinetic typography, creative transitions, animation, social-first editing, visual storytelling, sound design, commercial or branded content, and work where you were experimenting.

Applications without a portfolio or showreel will not be considered.
