Brand Video Editor + Motion Designer Job at Hire Emerald in New York

Brand Video Editor & Motion Designer

A Dallas-based creative agency is looking for a Brand Video Editor & Motion Designer to join its growing creative team. The agency works with premium brands across hospitality, fashion, lifestyle, real estate, design, and other visually driven industries. Its work focuses on creating elevated brand identities, social media content, websites, and digital experiences with a high-end editorial look. This is a great opportunity for someone with strong creative taste, refined visual judgment, and the ability to bring brands to life through motion, storytelling, rhythm, and visual direction.
About the Role

This role combines two key crafts: video editing and motion design. You will edit real footage, select the strongest moments from large banks of raw content, and create short-form videos with rhythm, pacing, and restraint. You will also design motion graphics, including kinetic type, logo reveals, transitions, and animated brand elements. This is not a trend-driven social media editing role. The focus is on premium, timeless, brand-aligned creative work. You'll work closely with the Founder & Creative Director and help shape how brands move, feel, and exist digitally.
