Role Overview M Booth is looking for a social-native, video-first Mid-Level Video Editor & Motion Animator to join our team. Your primary focus will be pacing, storytelling, and cutting high-performing short-form video for platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. While also supporting lightly on other channels and digital spaces. While core video editing is your main strength, you will also leverage dynamic motion graphics—kinetic typography, animated overlays, light 2D animation, and UI elements—to elevate brand storytelling. Under the guidance of the Art Director, you will strike the perfect balance between high-end design sensibilities and raw social-first authenticity, helping us "stretch" our client’s traditional visual guidelines to capture the hearts and attention of specific brand audiences. Key Responsibilities • TikTok-First Editing & Narrative Pacing: Edit high-retention vertical video formats (TikTok and YouTube Shorts) optimized for native platform behaviors. You know how to command attention in the first 3 seconds, structure high-utility "show, don't tell" walkthroughs, and design seamless loops. • Social Motion Graphics & Animation: Design and animate platform-native overlays, custom teacher-centric stickers, kinetic typography, lower thirds, and transitions that make unscripted, raw videos feel cohesive, premium, and highly social-native. • "The Revolution Approach" Brand Translation: Work with the design team to stretch brand’s visual guidelines into unpolished, creator-style typography and visual assets that make videos feel native to the organic feed. • Sound Design & Audio Curation: Source, edit, and blend trending audio tracks, native sound effects (SFX), and clear voiceover tracks to drive algorithmic lift and structural rhythm. • Accessibility & "Creating for Everyone" Integration: Ensure 100% accessibility compliance across all vertical assets, including designing custom, high-contrast, burned-in captions, visual framing that respects safe zones, and alt-text layouts. • Existing Channels Support: While TikTok/Shorts is your priority, you will provide secondary support to our Existing Channels Team (Facebook, LinkedIn, and X) to polish and animate clean video assets for those communities. • Agile Team Collaboration: Work in a highly integrated, sprint-based workflow alongside our dedicated team of Art Directors, Designers and Strategists. • Brainstorm and collaborate on conceptual creative solutions for big and small campaigns • Produce video/motion requests for appropriate account leads, meeting strict deadlines, and prioritizing requests • Ability to articulate creative choices to fellow designers, account team members, and clients • Stay current on art trends, social media visual guidelines and specs, digital design, etc. • Participate in the growth of the team Qualifications & Core Requirements • Social-Native Portfolio: 4+ years of professional video editing and motion graphics experience at
