• Ensure consistency in branding, messaging, tone, and visual style across all video content.
• Add graphics, subtitles, simple motion design, and basic animations to improve clarity and engagement.
• Perform basic color correction and audio cleanup, including music, sound effects, and voice balancing, while following licensing and brand guidelines.
• Optimize video files, thumbnails, titles, and metadata for SEO and discoverability.
• Stay up to date on industry trends, creator best practices, and competitor content, and suggest new formats or creative tests.
• Organize and maintain video assets, project files, and exports for efficient collaboration and reuse.
• Incorporate feedback from stakeholders and partner teams while maintaining quality and timelines.
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously, communicating clearly about progress and risks.
• Partner with internal and external videographers or agencies when needed, providing clear briefs and edit requirements.
• Work regular hours that substantially overlap with 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Pacific Time and attend scheduled meetings.
• Support other video and content-related tasks as needed.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in film production or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with moderate experience in 2D motion graphics.
• Strong understanding of pacing, visual storytelling, composition, and motion design.
• Familiarity with sound design basics, including sound effects, dialogue cleanup, music selection, and audio mixing.
• Experience tailoring content for social media and marketplace platforms, especially short-form formats.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a distributed, multicultural team environment.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
• Passion for staying current with video trends, tools, and best practices.
