Social Media Designer & Video Editor
For a brand-minded designer who also edits video — someone who can shape a young consumer platform’s visual identity and turn it into scroll-stopping social content.
An early-stage European creator-marketing platform.
The client is an early-stage European creator-marketing platform that turns a brand’s own customers into performance-paid creators — real people post authentic content about products they actually bought and earn based on real performance. It serves direct-to-consumer, retail, and ecommerce brands across the EU and UK.
The platform is scaling and building out its team. This role exists to raise the bar on brand and content output — the visual identity and the social video that fuel the platform’s go-to-market.
This is a confidential search. We will tell you exactly who you would be working with, and share the full brand, once we connect at the intro call.
Make the brand look as good as it works.
You own the look and the motion. Brand positioning, social design, and video — all in one pair of hands. The platform has a strong product and a clear story; your job is to translate that into visuals and video that stop the scroll and make the brand feel as modern as the people it serves.
This is a hands-on creative role, not a strategy seat. You will be making things — daily.
Design and motion. One pair of hands.
This is a combined role by design. The client wants one person who can hold the brand’s visual identity and cut the video that brings it to life — not two separate hires.
- Brand positioning — help shape and hold the visual identity: color, type, layout, the consistent look that makes the brand recognizable across every surface.
- Social design — design posts, stories, and campaign assets that feel native to Instagram and TikTok and right for a European consumer audience.
- Video editing — cut and produce short-form social video: hooks, pacing, captions, sound. The content that actually earns views.
- Consistency — keep everything on-brand and on-cadence so the platform’s social presence looks deliberate, not improvised.
Portfolio required. We will ask to see both design work and edited video before we present you — strong on one and weak on the other will not clear the bar.
The traits that matter.
-
CraftDesigner first, with a video habitGenuine strength in brand and social design plus real comfort editing short-form video (CapCut, Premiere, After Effects, or equivalent). Both, demonstrably — not one with a note that you can learn the other.
-
TasteAn eye for EU consumer brandsYou understand Western and European brand aesthetics and what looks current to a young, style-aware audience. Your work feels modern, clean, and intentional.
-
RangeIdentity to asset to editComfortable zooming from the brand system down to a single post and over to a 20-second cut, holding quality the whole way.
-
SpeedYou ship at social paceSocial moves fast. You produce quickly without letting the craft slip, and you know which corners are safe to cut and which are not.

Nice to HaveFrenchEnglish is the working language. French is a genuine plus given the brand’s European base, but it is not required.
