Job description

IA's corporate marketing and brand team is looking for a highly skilled video editor and motion designer to act as an extension of our in-house creative team. This role is ideal for a collaborative visual storyteller who thrives in a fast-paced creative environment and can translate brand strategy into compelling motion graphics, animation, short-format videos, and digital content across multiple platforms. You'll turn scripts/briefs into high impact short format videos (primarily 10-60s, occasional 90-120s) using stock footage, brand assets, project assets, architectural photography, and motion graphics.

This is an ongoing, remote engagement with project-based work. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of professional motion design and video editing experience, deep expertise in Adobe Premiere and After Effects, and a strong understanding of animation principles, visual systems and modern digital storytelling. This is a part-time contract or freelance role with ongoing project-based collaboration.


What you'll do

  • Translate briefs into lean storyboards/shot lists and propose visual approaches.
  • Source and license stock footage/music, when required; manage usage rights and records.
  • Edit for pace and narrative clarity; deliver platform specific versions (9:16, 1:1, 16:9).
  • Add titles/lower thirds/simple animations; integrate brand templates, when required.
  • Handle basic sound design: music edits, VO sync, noise cleanup, level matching.
  • Color correct and match mixed sources; ensure polished, consistent look.
  • Design, produce and/or edit high-quality motion graphics, animations and visual content and marketing initiatives.
  • Collaborate closely with internal marketing directors and creative directors to create visual narratives aligned with brand standards.
  • Develop motion toolkits, templates and reusable assets for internal teams.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines and maintaining high creative standards.
  • Collaborate via Wrike and/or Teams with rapid iteration based on timestamped feedback.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years professional editing experience with a portfolio of short form work (ads, social, explainers, animations).
  • Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design or related degree or equivalent experience
  • Expert working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, including Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop.
  • Strong grasp of social specs and best practices for Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn.
  • Proven ability to craft story from stock assets and minimal footage. Detailed scripts will be provided in some instances, but not all.
  • Ability to work within established brand systems while elevating creative execution.
  • Solid audio and color fundamentals; attention to typography and on screen readability.
  • Organized file management; comfort with brand guidelines and version control.
  • Reliable communication, quick turnarounds, and openness to iterative feedback.

Deliverables & standards (typical) may include:

  • Brand Animations
  • Sizzle reels and promotional videos
  • Primary cut + resized versions (9:16, 1:1, 16:9) in 1080p or platform native.
  • Open captioned and non captioned exports; separate .srt file.
  • Clean audio at platform appropriate loudness; consistent color.
  • Project files and licensed source assets with a simple rights log
  • Motion systems and templates

Engagement

  • Contract, remote, project-based work. Estimated cadence: 10-30 hours/week

Please submit a motion graphics portfolio demonstrating experience with animations and/or video editing skills. Submissions without a portfolio will not be considered.
