  • Proficient skills with Adobe Creative Suite, particularly in After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop and Illustrator
  • Able to work in a team environment and collaborate with different teams in a fast-paced, deadline-based, ever-changing environment
  • Proven creative and digital storytelling and technical skills
  • Ability to communicate clearly, often and adapt and learn quickly 
  • Ability to stay focused in a team setting and manage time while working independently and efficiently  
  • Self starter and eagerness to contribute new ideas and learn new things
  • Knowledge of video formats for web and social media
  • Interest and experience in a variety of topics, such as politics, technology, pop culture, science and entertainment
  • Must be able to work flexible hours including early morning, nights or weekends, if requested
  • Plus: Cinema 4D

Please forward resume, cover letter and reel or links to any available video work with notes on your role in each of them. Thank you.
