Full Job Posting
Onelink Digital is a creative and technology-driven digital agency built to turn ideas into reality.
We work across branding, content creation, web design and development, digital marketing, influencer marketing, automation and AI, combining creativity with technology to build experiences that are visually distinctive and commercially effective.
We believe in doing things different, by design. That means challenging predictable creative, experimenting with new technologies and constantly looking for smarter, more interesting ways to bring ideas to life.
We’re now looking for a Video Editor / Motion Graphics Designer to join our team at Emaar Square in Downtown Dubai .
The Role
We’re looking for a highly creative Video Editor / Motion Graphics Designer who can turn ideas, raw footage and creative direction into visually compelling content.
This isn't a role for someone who only cuts footage together.
We want someone who understands motion, kinetic typography, animation, pacing, sound, visual storytelling and design and knows how to combine them to create content people actually want to watch.
You should be able to receive a creative brief and run with it, while also bringing your own ideas, references and creative direction to the table.
What You'll Do
Edit high-quality short-form and long-form video content across social media, campaigns, brand content and digital platforms.
Create kinetic typography, motion graphics, animations, title sequences, creative transitions and visual effects .
Transform raw footage into polished, engaging content without requiring extensive direction.
Take creative concepts from idea through to final execution.
Bring your own creative ideas to projects rather than waiting for every detail to be provided.
Experiment with editing styles, typography, transitions, sound design and visual treatments.
Use motion and animation intentionally to elevate storytelling.
Select music, sound effects and other creative elements that strengthen the final edit.
Create content optimised for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn and other digital platforms .
Collaborate with designers, marketers and the wider creative team.
Use AI tools alongside traditional editing software to enhance workflows, generate assets, explore concepts and push creative possibilities.
Stay ahead of emerging editing styles, social trends, motion design techniques and AI technologies.
Manage multiple projects while maintaining a consistently high creative standard.
Maintain organised project files, footage and post-production workflows.
What We're Looking For
3–4+ years of professional video editing/motion design experience.
Currently based in the UAE.
Advanced proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro .
Strong understanding of motion graphics, animation and kinetic typography .
Strong understanding of typography, composition, visual hierarchy and graphic design principles.
Excellent sense of pacing, rhythm and storytelling .
Strong sound design and music selection skills.
Experience with colour correction/grading, masking, tracking, compositing and keyframing.
Strong understanding of social-first editing , including hooks, retention, pacing and platform-specific formats.
Ability to work independently and confidently make creative decisions.
Ability to take feedback and creative direction while still contributing your own ideas.
Exceptional attention to detail.
Ability to take relatively simple footage and find ways to make it visually interesting.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced creative environment with multiple projects and deadlines.
Curious, experimental and constantly looking for new creative techniques.
Experience incorporating AI into video production and post-production workflows .
Bonus Skills
- Experience with DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, Cinema 4D, CapCut, AI video generation, AI image generation or generative motion tools would be an advantage.
- Experience working within a creative agency, marketing agency, production studio or social-first content team is also highly desirable.
A portfolio or showreel must be submitted with your application.
- We want to see more than basic edits. Your portfolio should demonstrate your ability across areas such as motion graphics, kinetic typography, creative transitions, animation, social-first editing, visual storytelling, sound design, commercial or branded content, and experimental/creative editing.
Who We're Looking For
We're not simply looking for someone who knows how to use Premiere Pro and After Effects.
We're looking for a creative thinker who happens to be a great editor .
Someone who can be given an idea and think,
“How can I make this better?”
Someone who notices the details, understands what makes content visually satisfying, isn't afraid to experiment and can bring ideas to the table without needing constant direction.
If you love making things move, look and feel different , we'd like to see what you can do.
