• Design and produce video content for marketing use cases, including short-form ads and branded travel content.
• Edit video and visual assets to a high standard, optimised for different platforms and formats.

What we’re looking for

• A strong portfolio demonstrating:
  • Visual design and graphic skills
  • Video and/or motion editing
  • A clear eye for composition, colour, and storytelling
• Strong proficiency in design and editing tools, such as:
  • Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro)
  • Or equivalent professional tools
• Excellent attention to detail and visual consistency.
• Ability to take a brief and independently produce high-quality final assets.
• Comfort working across multiple formats (static, motion, video, photography).
• A genuine interest in travel, destinations, and visual storytelling.

Nice to have

• Experience creating assets for performance marketing or digital advertising.
• Motion graphics or basic animation skills.
• Photography or filming experience (travel, lifestyle, or brand content).
• Experience working in a digital-first or fast-growing company.

Why join Travelstart

• Be part of a brand that inspires people to explore the world.
• Creative ownership across a wide range of travel-focused content.
• Collaboration with experienced marketing and growth teams.
