About the role
Want to work on some of the biggest indie game releases next year and beyond? Playstack is a very exciting and rewarding place to work and seeks a dedicated, dynamic and knowledgeable Senior Video Editor & Motion Graphic Designer who’s able to deliver outstanding video contents for pc/console and mobile games.
You’ll be working in a compact and effective team of video editors and artists, taking briefs from the marketing team and liaising with dev teams to establish connecting points, where you can work together to gather the best capture and footage for your trailers.

For this reason, your own and the team's time management is a very important part of your day to day approach. You’ll be providing accurate time estimates to client teams.
