• Collaborate closely with Social Media, Community, Brand, and Marketing teams, incorporating feedback and staying up to date with social media trends, editing styles, meme culture, and emerging video formats.

Qualifications

• At least 3 years of professional experience in video editing, preferably focused on short-form social media content, entertainment marketing, agency work, or branded digital content.
• Strong proficiency in industry-standard editing software, such as Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve.
• Good knowledge of CD PROJEKT RED's games, characters, lore, and universes.
• Strong understanding of mobile-first storytelling, engaging opening hooks, pacing, audience retention, and platform conventions across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
• Working knowledge of After Effects, including animated typography, UI animations, templates, and motion graphics.
• Practical experience with dialogue cleanup, sound design, music editing, basic color correction, and audio optimization for mobile platforms.
• Ability to independently manage video projects from brief to delivery, work within tight deadlines, and maintain high quality and brand consistency.
• Very good English skills, both written and spoken, for daily collaboration with international teams.
• Genuine passion for video games, social media trends, and internet culture.

Nice to have

• Previous experience capturing gameplay footage using game engines or internal development builds.
• Familiarity with smartphone videography, lighting, or basic on-set shooting.
