Job Description

We're looking for a creator who lives at the intersection of data, design, and video. You'll turn our research and reports into scroll-stopping motion graphics and short-form videos, crafting clear narratives from charts/tables and driving audiences to read the full reports. You'll also cut promo shorts from long-form podcast episodes to grow reach and engagement across LinkedIn, X, and YouTube.

Responsibilities

  • Translate report insights into 3090s motion graphics using kinetic type, infographic animation, and simple visual metaphors
  • Build scripts, hooks, and storyboards from outlines or raw datasets
  • Design on-brand titles, lower thirds, charts, and transitions; add subtitles and end cards with clear CTAs

Podcast Promos

  • Mine long-form episodes for viral moments; create 2060s social cuts with captions, punchy openers, and show branding
  • Produce vertical, square, and horizontal versions with platform-specific first-frame hooks

SociaYl-first Production

  • Ship a consistent cadence of shorts (e.g., 12/week) across channels
  • Optimize thumbnails, first 3 seconds, and retention; test formats (explainers, myths, 3 insights in 30s, etc.)

Brand & Collaboration

  • Maintain brand guidelines (fonts, colors, typography for Arabic/English)
  • Collaborate with researchers, podcast producers, and marketing to prioritize stories that drive traffic and leads

Qualifications


  • 35+ years in video editing & motion design for social or content marketing (B2B/consulting/newsroom a plus)
  • Strong reel showing data-driven motion graphics and short-form promos
  • Expert in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro (or DaVinci Resolve), Illustrator/Photoshop; bonus: Audition, CapCut Pro/Descript for fast captions
  • Comfortable with Arabic & English typography and subtitling; Arabic motion/kerning experience is a plus
  • Solid grasp of narrative flow, pacing, retention curves, and social best practices (hooks, CTAs, aspect ratios, safe areas)
  • Ability to work from a brief or raw data, simplify complex topics, and hit deadlines

Tools & Formats

  • After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop (Audition/Resolve nice-to-have)
  • Descript/CapCut Pro for rapid captioning
  • GA4/UTMs + platform analytics to track CTR, retention, and conversions
  • Deliverables: 9:16, 1:1, 16:9; .mp4/.mov; burned-in Arabic/English captions; thumbnail art
