  • Work closely with creative and design leadership and Paid Media, and use performance data to decide what to try next, whilst also bringing your own innovation to the table

  • A reel that shows scroll-stopping social work and polished brand motion.
  • 2D and 3D capability in Cinema 4D, Blender or similar software, with a sharp knowledge of render capabilities.
  • An understanding of how performance video is measured (thumbstop rate, hold rate, completion, CTR) and how motion choices affect those numbers.
  • Speed and polish together, and the ability to manage multiple projects on tight timelines.
  • Comfort using AI video tools as part of a professional workflow.
Bonus points
  • Sound design and music editing.
  • Experience animating app or game UI.
