About the role

  • We are looking for a performance-focused Intermediate Video Editor to join our Creative Studio.
  • In this role, you will be a hands-on contributor executing high-converting, visually compelling User Acquisition (UA) video ads across paid social and programmatic channels (Meta, YouTube, Unity, etc.).
  • Working closely with Motion Designers, Creative Strategists, and UA Managers, you will edit and assemble video assets that combine UGC footage, mobile gameplay mechanics, kinetic typography, and slick motion graphics to drive user growth.

Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Video Editing: Cut, pace, and polish short-form, mobile-first video ads tailored for performance marketing channels across standard aspect ratios (9:16, 16:9, 1:1).
  • Creative Iteration & A/B Testing: Take core winning concepts and build rapid variations—testing different opening hooks, gameplay clips, sound design, overlay text, and CTAs to mitigate creative fatigue and boost campaign performance.
  • Asset Assembly & Media Prep: Ingest, organize, and prep raw footage, UGC creator clips, screen recordings, static graphic assets, and audio tracks for seamless editing workflows.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Creative Strategists, Copywriters, and Motion Designers to turn campaign briefs into high-impact deliverables linked to performance metrics like CPI, IPM, and ROAS.
  • Trend & Platform Expertise: Stay hyper-aware of social media editing trends, TikTok-native formats, fast-paced game trailers, and viral editing styles.

Requirements

  • 2 to 4 years of professional experience in motion graphics and video editing, ideally within mobile app marketing, mobile app/games UA, and ASO.
  • Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro and After Effects), with supporting skills in Photoshop and Illustrator for asset preparation.
  • A genuine passion for F2P mobile games and a deep understanding of mobile gaming visual language, UI/UX framing, and gameplay pacing.
  • A desire to learn the data behind creative performance—understanding how framing, early hooks, and visual pacing impact viewer retention and conversion.
  • A strong ear for audio editing, sound effects (SFX) placement, and kinetic typography that drives energy in short-form, mobile-first video.
  • A portfolio or reel showcasing clean video editing, dynamic pacing, and visually engaging content.

Preferred qualifications

  • Familiarity with GenAI tools and node-based workflows to accelerate asset preparation.
  • Basic experience with 3D tools (Cinema 4D or Blender) or playable ad formats.

Benefits

  • Team Lunches
  • game nights
  • company-wide events
