Video Editor & Motion Designer, Brand Studio

About the Role

The Brand Studio team is responsible for shaping and expressing Motive’s brand across every touchpoint—bringing clarity, consistency, and creativity to how we show up in the world. From integrated campaigns and product storytelling to always-on brand systems, we help Motive scale visually while staying distinctive, credible, and human. We collaborate closely with marketing, product marketing, content, growth, and regional teams to turn strategy into world-class creative work.

As our Video Editor & Motion Designer, you’ll shape how Motive shows up in motion—turning ideas, footage, scripts, sound, and motion graphics into compelling stories that connect with our audiences and bring our brand to life. You’ll take projects from brief to final delivery across campaigns, social, web, events, and other key marketing touchpoints, balancing editorial and motion craft with sound creative judgment and a clear understanding of business goals.

Working closely with partners across Brand, Marketing, Communications, and other functions, you’ll help establish a distinctive and consistent motion language for Motive. You’ll bring energy and rigor to every edit and animation, raise the quality of our video and motion output, and help the Brand Studio team create work that is polished, on-brand, meaningful, and effective.

This is a hands-on role for a thoughtful, highly collaborative editor and motion designer who can operate independently, navigate a fast-paced environment, and make smart creative decisions from first concept through final delivery. You’ll have the opportunity to help define how Motive tells stories about the people, businesses, and industries that keep the physical economy moving.

What You’ll Do

• Own video and motion projects end to end, from intake and story development through editing, animation, versioning, delivery, and post-launch iteration.
• Edit high-quality video content for brand campaigns, paid media and organic social, web, events, customer storytelling, and other marketing initiatives.
• Create and integrate motion graphics, typography, animation, and other visual elements that elevate storytelling and bring Motive’s brand to life in motion.
• Translate creative briefs, stakeholder feedback, and performance insights into clear editorial decisions that improve quality, clarity, and effectiveness.
• Manage multiple priorities and timelines while maintaining a high bar for craft, consistency, and on-brand execution.
• Build strong working relationships with adjacent teams and contribute as a trusted creative partner in solving communication and storytelling challenges.
• Help evaluate and develop AI-assisted video workflows for scripting, footage exploration, versioning, and post-production, using emerging tools thoughtfully to improve speed and scale without compromising quality, originality, or brand integrity.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in video editing and motion design within an in-house brand, agency, production company, or creative marketing environment.
• A portfolio or reel that demonstrates strong editorial judgment, storytelling, pacing, motion design, and visual craft across multiple formats and channels.
• Deep proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or comparable editing software, with strong working knowledge of After Effects and modern post-production workflows, including file management, versioning, and delivery best practices.
• Strong working knowledge of motion graphics and animation, with the ability to create polished motion design as part of the editorial process.
• Experience managing complex creative projects with cross-functional stakeholders and driving work forward with limited oversight.
• A strong understanding of how brand systems and visual standards translate into effective, cohesive video content.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to synthesize feedback, evaluate trade-offs, and make sound creative decisions in a fast-moving environment.
• Videography, production, or on-set experience is a plus, but not required.
