Edit short-form social media videos using footage, imagery, sound and text.
Design social graphics, carousels and other digital content.
Create simple animations and motion graphics.
Adapt campaign assets for different platforms and formats.
Interpret creative briefs and produce high-quality content in line with brand guidelines.
Manage your workload and deliver projects to agreed deadlines.
Collaborate with the wider creative team, incorporating feedback and refining your work.
Keep up to date with social media trends, formats and creative techniques.

A good eye for design: You have a confident understanding of typography, composition, layout and visual detail.
Relevant experience: You've produced social media content in an agency, in-house or freelance environment.
Technical skills: You're confident using Premiere Pro and Photoshop, or equivalent editing and design tools, with working knowledge of After Effects for simple animations and motion graphics.
