JOB DETAILS: 1.

Video Editing & Motion Graphics Execution – 45% Create visually stunning motion graphics and animations for various digital media; create, edit and deliver video assets across social videos, performance video ads, cutdown sets (30s / 15s / 6s), KOL and UGC edits, event recaps and internal content.

Collaborate on video projects, including editing visual elements (graphics, text, music) and assisting senior editors and designers.

Design original motion graphics, illustrations and infographics that follow brand guidelines and platform specifications.

Own the post pipeline for assigned jobs: ingest footage, proxy setup, rough cut, fine cut, basic color and audio treatment, graphics and subtitles, export to correct platform specifications.

Edit for retention, not just for smoothness: build a strong 3-second hook, control pacing against the retention curve, and design for sound-off viewing (subtitles, kinetic text, visual clarity).

Run brand QA and technical QA pre-flight before every submission – codec, resolution, aspect ratio, safe zones, loudness, subtitle accuracy (target: technical QA pass rate of at least 95%).

2.

AI-Powered Production – 25% Use PMAX’s approved AI toolstack as a default part of the daily workflow: Premiere Pro AI (text-based editing, auto transcript and caption), After Effects AI features (rotoscoping, tracking), Runway / Veo / Kling for generative footage, ElevenLabs for voice, Topaz for upscale and restore, ChatGPT / Claude for scripting and ideation.

Build and iterate AI workflows for repetitive production tasks: auto-captioning across platforms, batch cutdown production, B-roll generation and shot extension, rotoscoping and cleanup, style exploration for motion concepts.

Contribute reusable prompts, presets and workflows back to the PMAX Prompt and Workflow Library so the whole team compounds.

Maintain a weekly AI usage log: tool used, use case, time saved, and whether the output was adopted or rejected.

Contribute to the team target of at least 30% production time saved through AI leverage.

Apply AI responsibly: confidentiality-first (never upload client-confidential footage or data to public models), rights and licensing aware for footage, music and synthetic voice, and always human-in-the-loop – every AI output is reviewed, corrected and art-directed by you before it ships.

Keep learning: continuously benchmark new AI video and motion tools against the current pipeline and share findings with the team.

3.

Time & Project Management – 20% Own a personal weekly workplan across multiple parallel jobs; estimate production effort realistically per job type and get it approved by the Product Lead.

Apply timeboxing and prioritisation frameworks (Eisenhower, Pomodoro) and plan around render, export and review time – not just editing time.

Flag risks, blockers and missing assets early through the RAID log and escalation path – never let a deadline slip silently.

Maintain project structure, versioning discipline, naming conventions and archive hygiene so any editor or vendor can pick up the project file.

Support handover to and review of freelancer / vendor work when jobs are outsourced; meet SLA and deadlines on at least 95% of assigned deliverables.

4.

Learning & Collaboration – 10% Complete the 12-week Video Editor Trainee Program: pass Gate 1 (W4), Gate 2 (W8), Certification L1 (W9), Gate 3 and Final Presentation (W12).

Join the weekly edit review; give and receive feedback Collaborate closely with Producer, Designer, Copywriter, Account/Pod and Product Leads across the production pipeline.
