Are you a passionate visual storyteller with a love for design? Do you want to help craft educational design videos that are every bit as high-end as the productions National Geographic creates on history, science and culture?  

Do you want to showcase your skills in every frame while conveying powerful ideas to thousands of minds daily? That’s a big audience, which is why we’re looking for serious talent.

We're the global leader in online design education. That’s because the world’s leading experts create our educational content and because we’re specialized in—and utterly dedicated to—design, and only design. We’re entering our third decade with over 175,000 graduates. We now need an amazing Motion Graphics Designer, Video Editor and Visual Storyteller to help each individual along their learning journey.

Visual storytelling is a huge part of our winning formula: to reach our members on that magic level where they’re captivated to complete their course while feeling utterly inspired every step of the way.

You will, therefore, become an essential part of our video production team, someone who is making a direct impact on not only the growth and reputation of our organization but also the whole world of design education and beyond!

So, what do our videos look like? Here’s an example of a video we created. We went to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and recorded a series of b-rolls. Then we edited and added animations to explain how AI-generated art has evolved into a dynamic force in the creative landscape. As you can see, educational videos are no longer “talking heads with slides.”  

This next video shows you what our educational videos featuring experts look and feel like. It shows how much emphasis and effort we put into animations, footage and on-screen text to give the ultimate learning experience.  

Check out this third video, which is a promotional video we created to motivate more people to learn design.  

So, if after seeing these videos you think, “I could do better than that!”, then we’d love to hear from you!

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be working closely with our UX/UI design experts, founders, video editors, course producers and other team members to make the most inspiring and engaging videos for our ever-growing catalog of courses.  

Videos are the best way to educate, and we have the best instructors: people who live and breathe UX/UI design and many associated subjects. You’ll feel energized as you take your skillset to an even higher level among an ambitious and supportive team.  

Ahead of you is a rewarding and enriching journey in which you’ll make an impact as you:  

• Take on the job as a Motion Graphics Designer, Video Editor and Visual Storyteller.
• Develop cutting-edge UX/UI design courses and open-source content that empower designers around the world.
• Help push the quality of our educational materials to new heights—exceeding the very best in both industry and academia.  
• Use your skills to help your colleagues grow and become better motion graphics designers and video editors; just as they’ll help you.
• Edit, export and produce content to the highest standard.
• Use your motion graphics design and visual storytelling skills to create engaging visual content (both static and dynamic) that communicates key learning takeaways and helps engage and attract an audience across our social media channels.  
• Create social media content such as carousels, illustrations, animations and short video snippets for our social media channels.
• Create didactical educational visual media to illustrate written content and articles.
• Create and adapt videos, illustrations and animations for use on our website and advertising campaigns.

• Support our social media team and bring your expertise to all dimensions of our content, marketing and communication.
• Find creative solutions to make content work across different platforms.
• Use your expertise to create inspiring Master Class videos featuring leaders in design.

If you want even more opportunities to show the world what you can do, you’re in luck! If you’re passionate enough to do the hard work of learning and growing—you’ll find virtually limitless opportunities with us.

• You "always name your layers." You organize the files and optimize project structures in such a way that’s easy for you and your colleagues to collaborate and iterate.
