Video Editor & Motion Designer

At Motorola Solutions, we're guided by a shared purpose - helping people be their best in the moments that matter - and we live up to our purpose every day by solving for safer. Because people can only be their best when they not only feel safe, but are safe. We're solving for safer by building the best possible technologies across every part of our safety and security ecosystem. That's mission-critical communications devices and networks, AI-powered video security & access control and the ability to unite voice, video and data in a single command center view. We're solving for safer by connecting public safety agencies and enterprises, enabling the collaboration that's critical to connect those in need with those who can help. The work we do here matters.
We are looking for a Video Editor & Motion Designer to join our internal creative team. This isn't a traditional "editor" role; we are looking for a specialized hybrid who is 60% Motion Designer and 40% Video Editor. You will be responsible for creating high-impact visual stories that showcase our mission-critical technology ranging from 3D device reveals and UI/UX simulations to cinematic brand films. You'll join our team, where our culture is casual and social but fast-paced with an emphasis on innovation and creativity. Working alongside our product experts, senior leadership team and global marketers, you will confidently communicate conceptual ideas driven by best practices and business objectives.
