Video Editor & Motion Graphics Designer (Explainer/Educational)

Role Overview

We are looking for a creative and detail-oriented Video Editor & Motion Graphics Designer to produce high-quality, professional explainer videos. The ideal candidate will have experience in translating complex academic or business concepts into visually engaging stories using kinetic typography, icons, and structured diagrams.

As our editor, you will be responsible for the end-to-end production of educational content, ensuring a clean, corporate aesthetic that resonates with professional and academic audiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Concept Visualization: Convert scripts and voiceovers into compelling visual narratives using a mix of stock footage, icons, and custom graphics.
• Motion Graphics: Design and animate diagrams, charts, and models (e.g., the AMO model or strategic fit puzzles) to explain data-heavy concepts.
• Kinetic Typography: Create dynamic text overlays and captions in both English and Arabic (or other target languages) to reinforce key learning points.
• Bilingual Integration: Ensure seamless synchronization between localized text and voiceovers.
• Pacing & Flow: Maintain a professional "Educational Explainer" pace—balancing information density with visual interest.
• Sound Design: Source and edit background music and sound effects to enhance the professional tone of the video.

Technical Requirements

• Software Mastery: Expert proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.
• Design Skills: Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop to create or modify icons and assets.
• Typography: A strong eye for font selection, hierarchy, and readability.
• Asset Management: Experience sourcing and licensing high-quality stock footage and vector icons (e.g., Envato, Storyblocks).
• AI Tools (Bonus): Familiarity with AI-driven editing tools (voiceover generation, AI image generation, or automated captioning) is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience: 2+ years of experience in B2B, Corporate, or Educational video editing.
• Portfolio: A strong reel or portfolio showcasing "Explainer" style videos with complex concepts simplified.
• Communication: Ability to work with bilingual scripts and maintain high accuracy in text placement.
• Efficiency: Ability to meet deadlines while maintaining a high standard of professional polish.

How to Apply

Please send your resume and a link to your portfolio. Specifically highlight 1-2 examples of explainer videos you have produced that involve motion graphics or data visualization.

Pro-Tips for Your Search:

• The "Explainer" Niche: Don't just look for "Social Media Editors" (who often focus on fast-paced, high-energy cuts). You specifically need someone specializing in Explainer Videos or Corporate Motion Graphics.
• Bilingual Skill: If you plan to continue using Arabic text overlays, ensure you test their ability to handle right-to-left (RTL) text in After Effects, as it can be a technical hurdle for some editors.
• The "Secret Writer" Connection: Since you've worked on tools to humanize AI text, you might ask candidates how they use AI to speed up their workflow (like using AI for voiceovers or asset generation) to ensure they are forward-thinking.
