Motion Designer & Video Editor

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.

Podcast Promos
