Job description

We are looking for an ambitious, hybrid Motion & Graphic Designer that is fluent in ENGLISH obsessed with digital performance, YouTube algorithms, dynamic motion graphics, and contemporary visual culture.

You will master both the science and art of high-converting packaging (thumbnails) while elevating our video productions with kinetic typography, punchy animations, lower thirds, callouts, and retention-boosting motion design sequences in Adobe After Effects and Photoshop.

• Pipeline & Design Asset Management: Build and organize reusable motion graphics templates (MOGRTs), Photoshop presets, asset libraries, and thumbnail PSD kits to accelerate team delivery velocity.

Qualifications

• Software Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. (Working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and Illustrator is a strong advantage).

• Language Proficiency: Fluent / Professional working proficiency in English is mandatory. Working knowledge of French is a strong plus.
• Portfolio & Track Record: Demonstrated portfolio of high-performing YouTube thumbnails, sharp digital graphic design, and modern motion graphics.
