Lead Editor (EU)

About Us: Inca Digital is a veteran-owned data and intelligence company delivering digital-asset analytics for exchanges, financial institutions, regulators, and blockchain ecosystems. By fusing data across blockchains, exchanges, social networks, and markets, our platform delivers market surveillance, ecosystem monitoring, and counter-illicit finance intelligence to help clients manage risk and make better decisions. We operate as a fast-paced, fully remote, global tech team driven by an asynchronous-first workflow, minimal meetings, and logic over authority. Here, you'll collaborate with top-tier intelligence analysts, defense veterans, data engineers, quant researchers, and linguists to solve complex global challenges.

Role Overview: We are seeking a creative, self-driven Lead Editor to translate technical concepts, data narratives, and brand stories into clear, compelling visual narratives.

In this role, you will serve as a central motion design resource-fielding and triaging incoming requests from internal stakeholders across C-Suite, Business Development, and Marketing. You will take ownership of the full motion design workflow: interpreting brief materials, balancing incoming requests with proactive conceptual work, and turning abstract ideas into dynamic visual narratives that align with our brand identity. You won't just be executing storyboards; you will be an active partner in shaping how our stories are visually told.

This is a fully remote, global role. We operate on an async-first model, meaning your location and time zone do not matter-you are free to work whenever you are most productive. The only scheduling requirement is the flexibility to attend a couple of fixed weekly team syncs and occasional ad-hoc project alignment meetings, as well as the agility to handle occasional short, time-sensitive project turnarounds.

Key Responsibilities:

• Stakeholder Ingestion: Field, triage, and translate incoming requests from marketing, business development, and executive teams into structured visual execution plans.
• Motion Design: Conceptualize, design, and animate high-quality motion graphics for digital products, marketing assets, social media, and corporate communications.
• Story & Narrative Ownership: Analyze project briefs and underlying content to construct clear, logically coherent visual narratives that support our overall brand story.
• End-to-End Animation Pipeline: Manage projects from initial concept and rough visual sketching to motion execution, sound pairing, and final file export.
• Brand Alignment: Work within established brand guidelines, typography systems, visual frameworks, and color palettes.
• Async Collaboration: Communicate design rationale, project updates, and creative concepts clearly in written and asynchronous video formats (e.g., GitHub).

Required Qualifications:

• 2+ years of professional experience as a Motion Graphics Designer or Editor.
• Technical Mastery: Strong proficiency in Adobe Suite, especially After Effects. 
• Visual Storytelling & Narrative Sense: Proven portfolio demonstrating high craft in motion design, visual rhythm, timing, typography, and the ability to explain complex ideas visually.
• Creative Autonomy & Agility: Ability to take loose briefs or raw concepts, independently map out motion concepts with minimal daily supervision, and navigate fast-paced deadlines.
• Cross-Functional Communication: Excellent written and verbal English communication skills with comfort collaborating directly with internal stakeholders in a remote, async environment.
• Meeting Availability: Flexibility to attend a few recurring weekly team syncs and periodic ad-hoc project meetings, regardless of your local time zone.

(All offers of employment are contingent upon a successful background check.)

Bonus Points / Preferred Skills:

• Experience animating data visualizations, infographics, charts, or UI components.
• Experience with Figma or Framer.
• Experience creating engaging visual metaphors for abstract or technical B2B topics.
• Subject matter knowledge in FinTech, crypto/Web3 or cybersecurity.
