• Work across different types of content — from social media and campaigns to brand and product-led videos.
• Review, tweak and polish your work until the final cut is just right.

• Someone comfortable with tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro or similar editing software.
• Someone who deeply “gets” storytelling and knows how to turn raw footage into a seamless, engaging narrative.

• Comfortable working with Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop & Illustrator.
• A good understanding of visual communication, composition, typography, colour and design principles.
• Someone who is curious, detail-oriented and excited to experiment with different formats and styles.
