About the Role
Golden Hippo, a rapidly growing, tech-forward wellness and lifestyle company, is seeking a talented and motivated Video Editor (Motion Graphics Artist) to join its dynamic creative team. In this role, you’ll be a crucial contributor to the production of high-impact, visually engaging marketing videos that drive real-world results. You’ll take the lead in creating scroll-stopping content that lives across digital and social platforms — including Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
We’re looking for someone who not only knows how to cut a clean sequence but can also bring stories to life using motion graphics and animation techniques. From conceptual editing to polishing the final product, your work will combine artistry, performance-based strategy, and innovation to support our portfolio of health and wellness brands.
This position is perfect for a detail-oriented visual storyteller who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and who’s constantly looking to level up their creative game.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Video Editor with motion graphics expertise, your responsibilities will include:
- Story-Driven Video Editing:
Transform raw footage into powerful, consumer-facing video content. You’ll edit short-form ads, branded content, product videos, and testimonials while ensuring a smooth narrative flow and top-tier production quality. - Motion Graphics Design:
Design and animate motion graphics that elevate video content — from kinetic typography and logo animations to more complex animated compositions. Your work will appear on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. - Collaboration with Story Producers:
Work closely with producers, writers, and creative strategists to develop content that aligns with brand goals and converts viewers into customers. - Creative Optimization:
Interpret data-driven feedback to refine content quickly. You’ll help test and tweak ads based on performance insights while keeping creative integrity intact. - Multi-Platform Delivery:
Ensure your edits and animations are optimized for various formats and screen sizes, while also making sure deliverables are technically sound and meet creative standards. - Tool Mastery:
Use top industry tools including Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Media Encoder to produce high-quality work under tight deadlines. - Trend Tracking & Innovation:
Stay on top of video trends, editing styles, and animation techniques. You’ll be encouraged to bring fresh ideas to every project and help push creative boundaries.
