Confidential is hiring: Motion Graphics Designer / Video Editor in Detroit

Confidential, Detroit, MI, USA

Job type: Full Time


We’re looking for a Motion Graphics Designer / Video Editor who knows their way around a timeline, can spot a bad cut from a mile away, and doesn’t panic when someone says, “Can we get this by EOD?”
If you live for short-form content, keep up with trends (without rolling your eyes too hard), and enjoy turning ideas into scroll-stopping videos—keep reading.
What You’ll Do: Edit short-form videos that people might actually want to watch
Create motion graphics that make content look polished, not PowerPoint-y
Work with a creative team that has ideas (lots of them) and deadlines (even more of them)
Turn rough concepts into finished videos—sometimes quickly, sometimes very quickly
Add voiceover, music, and sound effects that don’t make people mute the video
Format content for every platform and aspect ratio known to mankind
Keep up with trends so we don’t accidentally feel “out of touch”
Juggle multiple projects without dropping the important ones
What You Bring: 1–3 years of video editing experience (bonus points if you’ve survived short-form content demands)
Solid skills in Adobe After Effects (and the rest of the Adobe suite)
The ability to take a project from idea → edit → final without needing constant hand-holding
Strong attention to detail (yes, we will notice if something is one frame off)
Good communication skills—you can explain your ideas and understand others’ feedback
A basic understanding of what performs well (and what flops)
Videography skills are nice, but not a dealbreaker
