Motion Graphics Editor – Contract

Responsibilities

• Conceptualize, design, and execute motion and video ads, and supporting static assets as needed for performance testing.
• Build direct response-first motion systems: kinetic typography, punchy transitions, UI-style overlays, callouts, infographics, and performance-driven effects.
• Re-cut existing footage, adapt animated graphics, and create net-new variations for A/B testing and rapid iteration.
• Develop moodboards, styleframes, and storyboards to align internally and with clients before production.
• Leverage stock footage/imagery, SFX, and AI-assisted tools (e.g., image generation/editing, VO/asset support) to move quickly—especially for brands with limited existing content.
• Maintain exceptional project hygiene: naming conventions, layer structure, and organized project files that enable fast handoffs and easy revisions.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing quality, timelines, and stakeholder expectations in a fast-paced environment.
• Stay on top of platform trends (paid and organic) and translate them into ad-ready creative patterns.
• Deliver across required formats and aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9, etc.) and placements with strong attention to specs.

Requirements

• We’re looking for an organized, collaborative hybrid designer who can execute cleanly at scale and thrive in a fast-turn environment.
• Strong design eye plus direct response sensibility (clarity, hierarchy, pacing, hooks, CTAs).
• Comfortable producing stills, motion, and video edits (not motion-only).
• Excellent file organization and project hygiene (naming conventions, clean layers, structured comps/timelines) — non-negotiable.
• Ability to follow team systems and processes (templates, shared files, handoffs).
• Experience working at high pace (agency experience is a strong plus).
• Flexibility and adaptability for integrating new tools, especially AI-assisted workflows.
