Team Profile
Wood Mackenzie Creative is a global multi-discipline design team focused on delivering a market-leading and trusted visual brand, through all our digital, print, and video assets. Working with teams worldwide, the Creative team is a partner helping drive revenue generation through our sector marketing campaigns, e-commerce, ABM, and events portfolio. The team have weekly group calls, and communicate with one another daily, working across time-zones.
Role Purpose
Do you have a passion for video and storytelling? Do you shine when shaping and finessing an edit? Is motion design your thing – can you keyframe and communicate a compelling 30-second message that combines imagery, infographics, typography, and sound design? Are you passionate about all things post-production? Do you thrive in a busy work environment where collaboration, creativity and problem solving are key to success? If so, we’d like to hear from you!
Working within the marketing department of a global leader in the energy sector, you’ll be working across a broad range of projects weekly, from editing interviews and promotional product videos, to storyboarding and executing 2D motion graphic social stings. You’ll be meeting with stakeholders, digesting briefs, and thinking creatively to turn ideas, scripts and data into concise and engaging video content. One week you might be editing a monthly thought leadership teaser video, a webinar or event promo, and the next week editing a leadership vlog. Working with primarily short-form video content within a B2B environment, you’ll be part of an ambitious, diverse and friendly in-house creative team, where innovation and outside-in thinking are sought - and you’ll be joining at an exciting time for our business with the recent launch of our new brand identity. You’ll be a brand ambassador working closely with our designers to ensure all video content adheres to brand guidelines and that there is consistency across all of our video content.
We’re looking for someone who’s motivated, professional and adaptable - a problem solver who is design driven, with an eye for the detail… if that’s you we’d love to see your showreel - and for you to tell us why you think you’re the person we’re looking for.
• Videographers with production experience are welcome to apply, but please note that the role primarily consists of video editing and animation.
Main Responsibilities
• Video editing, adding titles/graphics/music/sfx, colour grading in line with our brand guidelines, and exporting for web and social media
• Creating 2D motion graphic animations and infographics - incorporating still images, titles, b-roll, stock footage, music & sfx
• Creating storyboards and style frames for 2D animation projects
• Working collaboratively within the Creative team, sharing ideas, problem solving and participating in the development of project briefs
• Working with stakeholders from different departments across the business to develop and hone their ideas and briefs, to identify the best format to communicate their message, and to carry the project through from concept to final deliverable
• Photo editing
• Implementing and following our brand guidelines
• Project management via our online project management software
• Project archiving
About You
You will have:
• Experience in video editing and animation within a similar role
• A degree or equivalent in art/video/digital design
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• A showreel that demonstrates your experience and ability – make us say wow!
• A cover letter explaining why you think you are the ideal candidate for this role
• Experience editing short-form content such as interviews, webinars, social media teasers and product promos
• Experience in 2D animation, creating and adding motion graphic elements to video
• A solid understanding of graphic design and an eye for composition and typography
• Highly skilled in the use of Apple’s FCPX ecosystem (FCPX, Motion) and/or Adobe’s Creative Suite (Premiere, After Effects) - a willingness to learn and work across multiple programs would be preferable
• Sound judgement in sourcing and selecting appropriate music that meets the desired tone and mood for each project
• Experience in transcribing videos and adding captions
• An interest in the latest digital technologies, software, and trends within video post-production and storytelling
Desirables:
• Experience working with DSLR cameras, audio and lighting equipment would be a distinct advantage as there will be the opportunity to learn and develop these skills through mentoring within the role
• Experience working with freelancers to plan, schedule, and execute video shoots
• An interest in or experience using 3D animation software and specifically Cinema 4D
Equal Opportunities
We are an equal opportunities employer. This means we are committed to recruiting the best people regardless of their race, colour, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability or protected veteran status. You can find out more about your rights under the law at www.eeoc.gov
