About the Company:

Our client is a New York-based technology company that helps families navigate estate settlement after the death of a loved one, while supporting attorneys working alongside them. The company simplifies a process that often involves months of paperwork, deadlines, and phone calls during an already difficult time.

The team is fast-moving, collaborative, and global. Its work must feel warm and clear for grieving families, precise for attorneys, and trustworthy enough to handle highly sensitive personal and financial information.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Jr Motion Designer and Video Editor to own the company’s video and motion output. You’ll edit product demos, talking-head videos, and interviews; produce animated explainers; and create short-form social and campaign content.

You’ll need strong judgment and restraint. The work should feel calm, clear, premium, and human—not overly energetic or sales-driven. This role is focused on motion and video; a separate visual designer will own landing pages, decks, and print materials.

You Will:

• Edit product demos and screen recordings into clear, polished videos for families, attorneys, and the sales team.
• Turn raw talking-head, founder, team, and attorney footage into finished video content.
• Create animated explainers that simplify estate settlement processes and the company’s product.
• Produce short-form video content for LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, launches, and campaign testing.
• Add captions, lower thirds, transitions, color correction, music, sound effects, and clean audio mixing.
• Create lightweight in-product animations, transitions, and Lottie assets.
• Build reusable motion templates, title cards, caption styles, and editing systems for faster, consistent output.
• Collaborate with the visual designer and US-based team to maintain brand consistency.

About You:

Your Background:

• Professional experience in video editing and motion design.
• Strong working knowledge of Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
• Proficiency in After Effects for motion graphics, animated type, and simple object or character animation.
• Strong audio-editing skills, including dialogue cleanup, music selection, and basic mixing.
• A portfolio or reel that includes both real-footage editing and animated work.
• Ability to share at least one full-length video sample in addition to a reel.
• Comfortable using Figma to access brand assets, storyboard, and stay aligned with the visual system.
• Strong instincts for pacing, timing, typography in motion, and knowing when not to animate.
• Strong written and spoken English.
• Resourceful, proactive, and able to take ownership of projects from raw footage to final delivery.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Lottie, Rive, or lightweight in-product animation.
• Experience with 3D tools such as Blender or Cinema 4D.
• Strong sound-design skills.
• Strong experience using AI video and audio tools as leverage for ideation, editing, animation, audio cleanup, and faster iteration.
• Ability to use AI efficiently while ensuring final work remains thoughtful, polished, brand-aligned, and human.
• Experience creating video for legal, financial, healthcare, or other high-trust audiences.
• Experience creating content for sensitive or emotionally complex user audiences.
