We are on a rapid growth trajectory, and if you are driven by the idea of long-term advancement and leadership, Hypelocal is your ideal destination.
Role Overview:
Hypelocal is on the hunt for a talented and dedicated Creative Designer / Video Editor with deep Figma expertise and a strong brand design sensibility to craft captivating visuals across a variety of media. Above all, we're looking for someone with high creative design talent who is also familiar with video editing and AI video generation — a hybrid creative who can move fluidly between static brand assets and motion content.
As our Creative Designer / Video Editor, you will be instrumental in shaping the visual identities and brand narratives of websites, advertising campaigns, articles/content, short-form video, and more. Your work should not only be aesthetically pleasing but should also reinforce cohesive brand experiences and effectively convey the intended message to our target audience — whether that message lives in a layout or a 30-second ad.
Responsibilities:
- Collaborate closely with the demand gen, content, and advertising teams to understand design requirements and brand objectives.
- Study design briefs and determine project requirements, ensuring alignment with each client's brand guidelines and visual identity.
- Conceptualize and create visuals, including illustrations, logos, brand assets, layouts, and imagery.
- Develop and maintain brand systems, style guides, and visual identity frameworks for multiple clients.
- Develop engaging advertising creatives tailored for platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, maintaining brand consistency across every touchpoint.
- Edit and produce short-form video content for social and advertising channels, adapting brand systems into motion while keeping each brand's identity sharp and distinct.
- Leverage AI video generation and editing tools to accelerate production, prototype concepts quickly, and scale video output without sacrificing brand quality.
- Design compelling visuals for article content that reflect each client's unique brand voice.
- Use Figma as your primary design tool to create end-to-end website prototypes, interactive mockups, design systems, and component libraries.
- Build and manage reusable Figma component libraries, design tokens, and shared team assets to streamline workflows across projects.
- Utilize and manage Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Canva effectively for supporting design tasks.
- Collaborate with project managers and the creative director to finalize designs and ensure brand integrity.
- Revise designs and video based on feedback and ensure the final deliverables are on-brand, systematically consistent, and meet quality standards.
Skills and Qualifications:
- Proven experience in graphic design and brand design, with a portfolio showcasing identity systems, brand guidelines, and multi-channel visual work.
- Advanced proficiency in Figma, including experience building component libraries, auto-layout, design systems, prototyping, and collaborative team workflows. This is a core requirement of the role.
- Familiarity with video editing and AI video generation, with the ability to turn briefs into polished short-form content. Comfort with tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or AI-driven platforms (e.g., Runway, Sora, or similar) is a strong asset. High creative design talent is essential; video capability is what sets a standout candidate apart.
- Working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Canva for supplementary design tasks.
- Strong understanding of brand strategy fundamentals — how typography, color, imagery, motion, and layout work together to create a unified brand experience.
- Exceptional attention to detail and aesthetics.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work independently with minimal instruction.
- Strong time management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, clients, and brands.
- A degree in Design, Fine Arts, or a related field is an added advantage.
Hypelocal Specific Traits:
- Must be a self-starter who can work autonomously and remain productive.
- Eagerness to learn, adapt, and grow within the company.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, working on various projects and brands while keeping each brand's identity sharp and distinct.
What We Offer:
- A full-time, remote 40-hour per week working schedule.
- 10 days of paid vacation annually.
- Personal time off / mental health days.
- Comprehensive health and medical benefits.
- Opportunities for career growth and advancement.
