Motion Graphics Editor (Contract)

What You'll Do

• Conceptualize, design, and execute motion + 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 + organic) and translate them into ad-ready creative patterns
• Deliver across required formats/aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9, etc.) and placements with strong attention to specs

Requirements

• Strong design eye + direct response sensibility (clarity, hierarchy, pacing, hooks, CTAs)
• Comfortable producing stills + motion + video edits (not motion-only)
• Excellent file organization / 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

Tools + Workflow

• Expert in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially After Effects + Premiere (Photoshop/Illustrator required; Audition a bonus)
• Figma proficiency strongly preferred (team is Figma-heavy; shared templates and fast iteration)
• Comfortable collaborating via Google/Microsoft/Slack productivity tools
• Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows for production speed (image generation/editing, VO/asset support, generative extensions)
