Our Mission: Fixing Trust in Commerce

For a decade, we've been on a mission to close the Trust Gap—commerce's most expensive problem. In a world where distance and digital interfaces separate buyers and sellers, we're building the definitive trust infrastructure that enables global trade to flourish.

We recognize that trust is not binary but a spectrum, and our work continually expands the boundaries of commerce itself. Each improvement we make enables transactions that previously wouldn't have happened, revealing new frontiers where trust can be further enhanced.

Our Impact Today

We've grown from an idea into the dominant force for trust in e-commerce:

• Shopify's #1 Review Solution: We power over $70B of Shopify GMV with reviews.

• Global Scale: More than 600,000 shops across 140+ countries use our platform.

• Massive Reach: We process over 70 million orders monthly, generating 3 million+ verified buyer reviews each month.

• Organic Growth: We've achieved 40% year-over-year growth purely through word of mouth—no paid marketing or sales teams needed.

The Opportunity

We're hiring a Senior Video Editor & Motion Designer to own the visual quality of our YouTube and product videos (Academy content and launches). This is an individual contributor role for someone with strong editorial judgement and visual taste—not a coordination or management position.

You'll edit educational and marketing videos, shaping structure, pacing, and rhythm, and creating motion graphics, interface visuals, and subtitles. You'll work closely with our YouTube strategist on repeatable formats and with product marketing to explain complex ideas clearly and consistently. You'll also create supporting visual assets in Figma, working from existing brand guidelines.

This role is for someone with excellent taste and a strong sense of storytelling.

How We Work

We work with clear direction, fast feedback, and high standards.

Formats, goals, and priorities are defined upfront, but we expect strong judgement in execution. You'll be trusted to make calls on pacing, motion, and visual treatment, and to improve output incrementally over time.

We value:

• Tight feedback loops over long review cycles

• Iteration based on performance and clarity

• Consistency and reliability over one-off hero edits

• Raising the bar gradually while keeping output moving

This role suits someone who enjoys ownership, momentum, and refining a visual system through repetition.

What You’ll Do

• Edit multiple YouTube videos per week, with a focus on structure, pacing, and engagement.

• Work with the YouTube strategist to turn formats into high-quality video output.

• Own visual quality across the channel, from raw footage through to final delivery.

• Edit academy and product launch videos with product marketing, focused on clarity, flow, and brand alignment.

• Maintain visual consistency across all video content.

• Create motion graphics, lower thirds, subtitles, and animation.

• Create in-video assets and occasional marketing graphics in Figma, working from existing brand guidelines.

What We’re Looking For

• Excellent taste in video editing, motion, and visual composition.

• A strong instinct for how brand shows up in video.

• Proven experience owning or significantly shaping video output for a channel, programme, or series.

• Comfortable balancing creative quality with output, iteration, and deadlines.

• Organised, reliable, and detail-focused.

• Proficient in Premiere Pro and After Effects; comfortable with Figma, Photoshop, or Illustrator or similar tools for creating visual assets.

• Passionate about AI and LLMs, with a drive to explore how these tools can enhance video editing and motion design.

What Good Looks Like

• A clear, repeatable production pipeline is in place for YouTube.

• Content ships on a predictable cadence, with ownership from brief to publish.

• YouTube formats become faster to produce and improve with each iteration.

• Academy and launch videos are consistently clear, polished, and on time.

• In-video assets are produced quickly and reinforce the visual language.

Experience

• 4+ years in video editing, motion design, or creative production, or equivalent portfolio.

• Portfolio required, showing video editing, motion graphics, and visual asset creation.

Why This Role Matters

This hire is critical to scaling our content while building a recognisable, consistent video presence. The right person raises quality through judgement and craft.
