- Deliver fast, intelligent revisions that incorporate feedback while elevating the creative vision, always balancing artistry with brand standards and conversion optimization.
- Conceptualize and pitch bold, unique ideas: cinematic treatments, unconventional transitions, atmospheric grading, VFX elements, and visual metaphors that make legal topics compelling and memorable.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to align video work with overarching marketing goals, infusing unique creativity to make us stand out.
- Repurpose and elevate footage across formats with VFX integration, color correction, and audio mixing that feels premium and intentional.
What we're looking for...
- Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and the Adobe ecosystem.
- Deep command of cinematic editing principles: advanced pacing and rhythm, narrative structure, shot composition, color theory/grading, audio mixing/design, visual hierarchy, and tension-building.
- Proven experience crafting clean, professional assets from raw footage; building reusable templates; and creating high-impact hooks that feel elevated.
- Strong portfolio showcasing creative, marketing-oriented video work, branded storytelling, branded videos, or anything with real production value (no basic cuts or mobile-app edits).
- Fluency with branding systems and applying them consistently while injecting unique creative flair.
- Enthusiastic about leveraging AI tools (Higgsfield) as enhancers that amplify creativity and speed, never shortcuts that compromise quality.
- Exceptional communicator, reliable, deadline-driven, collaborative, and thrives in a small, high-output creative team where your voice shapes direction.
This role gives you real creative input in a niche where exceptional editing and visual storytelling can make or break a campaign. Join a passionate team obsessed with producing standout media that performs.
