About the Role

We’re looking for a creator who lives at the intersection of data, design, and video. You’ll turn our research and reports into scroll-stopping motion graphics and short-form videos, crafting clear narratives from charts/tables and driving audiences to read the full reports. You’ll also cut promo shorts from long-form podcast episodes to grow reach and engagement across LinkedIn, X, and YouTube.

Responsibilities

• Data-to-Story Video
• Translate report insights into 30–90s motion graphics using kinetic type, infographic animation, and simple visual metaphors.
• Build scripts, hooks, and storyboards from outlines or raw datasets.
• Design on-brand titles, lower thirds, charts, and transitions; add subtitles and end cards with clear CTAs.

Podcast Promos

Mine long-form episodes for viral moments; create 20–60s social cuts with captions, punchy openers, and show branding. Produce vertical, square, and horizontal versions with platform-specific first-frame hooks.

Social-first Production

Ship a consistent cadence of shorts (e.g., 1–2/week) across channels. Optimize thumbnails, first 3 seconds, and retention; test formats (explainers, myths, “3 insights in 30s,” etc.).

Brand & Collaboration

Maintain brand guidelines (fonts, colors, typography for Arabic/English). Collaborate with researchers, podcast producers, and marketing to prioritize stories that drive traffic and leads.

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years in video editing & motion design for social or content marketing (B2B/consulting/newsroom a plus).

• Expert in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro (or DaVinci Resolve), Illustrator/Photoshop; bonus: Audition, CapCut Pro/Descript for fast captions.
• Comfortable with Arabic & English typography and subtitling; Arabic motion/kerning experience is a plus.
• Solid grasp of narrative flow, pacing, retention curves, and social best practices (hooks, CTAs, aspect ratios, safe areas).
• Ability to work from a brief or raw data, simplify complex topics, and hit deadlines.
