About the Role
We are looking for a creative and versatile Video Editor, Character Animator & Graphic Content Creator who can independently manage video editing, character animation, graphic designing, and digital content creation.
The ideal candidate should have a strong visual sense and be comfortable transforming ideas, raw footage, scripts, and marketing briefs into engaging Reels, short-form videos, corporate videos, social media creatives, brochures, thumbnails, and other digital content — including animating our proprietary characters and educational content IP across different age groups.
The role requires someone who understands current social media trends and can create professional yet engaging content for platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and other digital channels, while also being capable of bringing an established character-led educational series to life through animation.
Key Responsibilities
Character Animation & Educational Content
Animate our existing proprietary character(s) for episodic, story-driven financial education content aimed at different age groups (e.g., children, teens, young adults). Maintain strict character consistency — expressions, poses, movement style, and art direction — across every episode and output. Work from scripts/storylines to storyboard and animate short educational episodes (~5 minutes each). Rig and animate characters using tools such as Adobe Character Animator, Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate, Spine, Rive, or similar. Adapt pacing, tone, and visual complexity appropriately for the target age group of each piece of content. Extend the existing character's art style to new scenes, props, and backgrounds while staying within brand/IP guidelines. Maintain and help build out a "style guide" / asset library for the character(s) and world to ensure consistency across all future content.
Video Editing & Production
Edit professional videos for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, YouTube, advertisements, corporate presentations, and promotional campaigns. Convert raw footage into polished and engaging video content. Add transitions, motion graphics, subtitles, captions, sound effects, background music, and visual effects. Create both short-form and long-form video content. Edit interviews, podcasts, testimonials, educational videos, event videos, and corporate content. Optimize videos according to different social media platform requirements. Create compelling hooks and maintain appropriate pacing to improve viewer retention. Maintain consistent branding, tone, and visual quality across video content.
Graphic Designing
Design creative assets for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, websites, and digital campaigns. Create social media posts, carousels, banners, thumbnails, infographics, posters, advertisements, and campaign creatives. Support the creation and designing of brochures, presentations, programme collateral, and marketing materials. Maintain consistency with the company's brand guidelines. Resize and adapt creatives for different digital platforms and marketing requirements.
Content Creation
Work with the marketing team to develop creative concepts for social media and marketing campaigns. Convert marketing ideas and briefs into engaging visual content. Assist in creating content ideas, video concepts, captions, hooks, headlines, and basic scripts. Research current social media trends, formats, memes, and content styles relevant to the brand. Suggest new content formats that can improve engagement and brand visibility. Develop content around finance, trading, education, careers, institutional partnerships, and corporate branding. Coordinate with internal teams to collect information, footage, photographs, scripts, and other content requirements.
Required Skills
Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro. Working knowledge of Adobe After Effects for motion graphics and animations. Hands-on experience with 2D character animation and rigging (Adobe Character Animator, Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate, Spine, Rive, or equivalent). Ability to storyboard a script before animating — translating narrative into a clear visual sequence. Good command of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, including illustration skills to extend an existing character/art style. Experience with Canva and other quick-content creation tools. Knowledge of CapCut or similar short-form video editing tools will be an advantage. Strong understanding of video composition, typography, layouts, transitions, and visual storytelling. Knowledge of social media content formats and current digital trends. Basic understanding of copywriting, scripting, and content creation.
