Overview

We're looking for a CGI & Social Video Designer who can create scroll-stopping, motion-first content built for social.

This role blends CGI, motion design, and social-first video editing to produce culturally relevant content that feels native to TikTok and Instagram — but elevated.

You won't just be building renders — you'll be bringing them to life through pacing, editing, and storytelling. From surreal CGI moments to lo-fi creator content, your work should feel dynamic, fast, and impossible to ignore.

If you think in motion, edit rhythm, and attention hooks — not just visuals — we want to see your work.

What You'll Do

• Design high-impact CGI visuals and motion-driven scenes for social-first campaigns
• Create surreal, oversized, hyper-real product moments
• Edit short-form video content (TikTok, Reels, paid ads) using a mix of CGI, lo-fi, and premium footage
• Transform both lo-fi creator content and premium video assets into social-native edits (cutdowns, pacing, hooks, etc.)
• Add text overlays, pop-ups, motion graphics, sound effects, and visual hooks to improve engagement and retention
• Build motion-first assets optimized for scroll behavior, hooks, and loopability
• Translate brand briefs into high-performing, social-native video concepts
• Collaborate with creative strategists, editors, and paid media teams
• Rapidly prototype concepts for pitches and campaign development
• Optimize content for platform performance (hook, pacing, CTA, retention curves)
• Push aesthetic boundaries while maintaining brand polish

What We're Looking For

• 4–8+ years in CGI, motion design, or video editing (social-first preferred)
• Strong portfolio showing both CGI work AND short-form social video editing
• Proven experience editing lo-fi creator content and premium footage into high-performing social cuts
• Deep understanding of TikTok/Reels editing language (hooks, captions, pacing, trends, sound design)
• Fluency in tools like Cinema 4D, Blender, Unreal, Houdini, After Effects, Premiere Pro (or similar editing tools)
• Strong understanding of performance creative and paid media needs
• Experience integrating AI workflows into your creative process
• Strong sense of lighting, texture, composition, and motion timing
• Ability to execute quickly without sacrificing quality
• Experience in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, or CPG is a plus
• Comfortable working both independently and within fast-moving teams

What Success Looks Like

• Content that stops the scroll within the first 1–2 seconds
• Seamless blend of CGI + lo-fi + premium content into one cohesive edit style
• Edits that feel native to social (not overproduced or traditional)
• High-performing creative that works across organic + paid
• Fast iteration and creative velocity
• Strong engagement driven by editing choices (hooks, pacing, overlays, sound design)

Portfolio Required

Please include:

• Motion-based CGI work (social-first preferred)
• Short-form video edits (TikTok/Reels/ads required)
• Examples of lo-fi + premium footage transformed into social-native edits
• Examples of AI-integrated workflows (if applicable)
• Product visualization work (if relevant)

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Thinks in motion + editing, not just design
• Obsessed with scroll behavior and attention economics
• Knows how to turn raw footage into high-performing content
• Moves fast, experiments often, and iterates quickly
• Blends high craft with social-native instincts
