Motion Graphics Designer and Video Editor

job title: motion graphics designer and video editor

department: creative

location: UK-based/ hybrid

hours: varied and flexible (but if you need an indication, typically 10 am - 6 pm!)

In 1999 a high-level concierge service was founded in a basement apartment in Notting Hill. In the decades since, the business has evolved into an international full-service agency that has earned itself a globally recognised track record of delivering some of the most impactful and innovative experiences around for clients such as LinkedIn, Gong and VeeFriends. We have great ambitions and are proud of everything we’ve built since our basement apartment days, but we’re still growing, and for our next phase, we need you!

We’re going through an exciting period of growth, helping clients across the world bring their stories to life through the power of events, and we’re looking for someone brilliant to help us to do that. So, if you’re a motion graphics designer and video editor we need you!

This role will involve conceptualising, creating and executing the production of animated content and assisting with video editing tasks. To deliver this successfully, motion graphics and video editing skills are vital and you will be providing guidance and expertise on best practices. Your roles and responsibilities will vary, however, your core focus will be to work in collaboration with the design studio to perform and execute tasks for various media assets.

what you'll need:

• We’re flexible on many things, but unfortunately, this is not one of them. For this role, applicants must have a portfolio. This is non-negotiable, so if you don’t have one, please do not apply.
• 2+ years experience. You will be animating slates, rotoscoping, motion/camera tracking, typography, keying and managing post-production edits. In addition to this, you will be editing footage for highlight and sizzle reels, case study videos, interviews, cinematics, and b-roll to name a few—therefore experience in these areas is a must.
• The ability to manage mulitple projects. We take pride in all that we do and always spend time getting to know the details involved in our projects. In this role, you’ll be in charge of managing different projects, with different storyboards and brand guidelines. As a result, you’ll need to have high levels of organisation to ensure each project is managed correctly.
• Familiarity with different software. We work online, remote/hybrid, and create virtual, live and hybrid events. Because of this, we use a lot of different software both internally and on our projects, so you’ll need the ability to navigate different technologies. The main ones you will be using in this role are Adobe (emphasis on After Effects and Premiere), Figma, Pitch, Google Docs and Sheets, Asana & Slack.
• Great communication skills. In this role, you’ll be in charge of managing multiple projects with different departments. As a result, we’re looking for someone who is great at communicating and building relationships (both inside and outside of the business) and is never afraid to speak up and tell people what they need.

what you'll get:

The chance to be part of a fast-growing, award-winning global events agency that encourages their team to have autonomy over their role, enabling you to bring new ideas to the table, develop your role into exactly what you want it to be and receive support whilst doing it.

In addition to that, in return for everything you bring, we will provide the following:

the standard stuff

A salary, a pension, 22 days of annual leave plus public holidays and a bonus company-wide day off in summer.

flexible hours

We have typical hours of 10 am - 6 pm but due to the nature of the events industry, we offer a flexible approach to this. Want to work different hours? You can. Need to pop out for an appointment? You can. You just need to let your manager know!

company culture

A great company culture provides more than just lip service—and we make sure we’re always doing that by regularly investing in it. Not just offering you a job and a warm welcome, but creating opportunities for you to build a fulfilling career. We do this by investing in your development, whether personal or professional, providing accessible leadership, and hosting numerous team socials. Including Christmas and Summer parties you’ll actually want to attend—with previous overnight stays at venues such as the Wilderness Reserve, Four Seasons and Artists Residence.

hybrid working

We work remotely most of the time, but have one day a week where we meet in our (dog-friendly!) Soho Works office so we can connect and catch up. When you’re not in the office, you can work from anywhere: your home, your garden, abroad — and we’ll set you up with the equipment to do so, including an Apple MacBook, mouse, laptop stand and second screen.

career progression

At emc3, we have a dedicated learning and development budget allocated to each person so that they can learn and grow in their role. And when it comes to progression, you’ll have the opportunity to level: up, down or sideways! Whether you’re looking to progress further in a current role or change departments—where possible, we’ll always support you with the transition.

mental health support

In addition to unlimited paid time off for mental health, we provide free access to therapy, counselling and mental health resources for all of our employees.

paid volunteering

We believe everybody should do their bit, and so offer one paid day off a year so that you can help out in your local community.

an emphasis on sustainability

We care about the impact events and our business have on the environment and have a sustainability team to ensure we follow best practices to make our events as environmentally friendly as possible.
