Collaborate with Marketing and the Director of Creative Operations to translate creative concepts into dynamic visual narratives that align with brand and campaign objectives.

Prepare all content in multiple formats and aspect ratios optimized for each digital platform and distribution channel, including European markets with custom specifications.
Ensure all deliverables meet technical specifications and platform requirements prior to final output.
Contribute to evolving post-production workflows and efficiency improvements within the studio environment.

A solid understanding of fast-paced visual storytelling and current short-form video trends, particularly for TikTok and Instagram.
A good eye for design detail across digital formats: spacing, typography, color, and brand consistency.
Ability to take and integrate feedback from Marketing and Creative leads clearly and efficiently, and to manage revisions within agreed timelines.
Organized and self-directed, with the ability to manage multiple deliverables simultaneously without close supervision.
0 to 2 years of professional or freelance experience in video editing, digital design, or a related creative role. Strong recent graduates with a compelling portfolio will be considered.
