Motion Graphics/ Video Editor (Remote)

You’ve been producing effective advertising videos for 3+ years. You’re brilliant at piecing together video, animation, and sound to create advertising masterpieces that produce return on ad spend. You’re great at reading scripts, fantastic at interpreting storyboards, and you got a magical touch with motion graphics. In other words, you don’t edit videos – you edit videos that sell! If that sounds like you, we’ve got a cracking opportunity for you to join our creative team as Multimedia Designer

You’ll love working here…

We know you’ll thrive in our supportive work environment. AlgaeCal isn’t one of those companies that treats you like a brainless robot, slowly crushing your soul with 80-hour workweeks and pointless projects that never see the light of day. That’s not our style. So if you want to see your creative ideas come to life - and be seen by millions of people around the world – this is the perfect job for you. 

This job might be for you if you’ve got….

• 3+ years experience as a video editor.
• A proven ability to create digital static & video assets, display advertising, social deliverables and other marketing assets that grab attention.
• A portfolio that demonstrates your mastery of Premiere Pro & After Effects.
• A proven track record of creating fresh-n-exciting video elements. 
• Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve would be a big plus. 
• The knowhow to create easy-to-follow storyboards for video projects, ensuring a clear narrative flow and alignment with project goals.
• The chops to create eye-catching video content that promotes our brand.
• An ear for the perfect musical background. And you know how to source and enhance the perfect voice-over files.
• A working knowledge of how AI tools can make your work better and more efficient. 
• The know-how to interpret marketing reports, figure out what’s working (and what’s not), and use that info to make your content even better.
• A collaborative personality. We’ll want to know that you can work closely with graphic designers, writers, and project stakeholders.
• Encyclopedic knowledge of the best practices for YouTube and Facebook.
• Experience working in a digital marketing environment. If you think a ‘funnel’ is a cake, this might not be the role for you ;)  
• Some experience working in the health & wellness sector. This isn’t 100% necessary, but will definitely put you ahead of the pack!

Other Qualities You’ll Need

At AlgaeCal we’re going to insist that you have these 3 qualities:

• You’re humble, you put the team and others’ needs ahead of your own
• You’re hungry to learn more
• You’re people smart, in the sense that you’re a great teammate

The truth is, if you don’t have these qualities you won’t last long at AlgaeCal. So if you’re missing one of them, be honest. Save yourself a lot of headaches and skip to a job posting that is a better fit for you.

What Will You Earn? 

Let’s agree on salary once we know what you’ve got to offer, but we’ll aim to pay above the market rate for your unique skills.
