Meet the team!

Welcome to Preply's Creative Chapter, where innovation meets passion to craft remarkable experiences for learners and tutors. We're not just creatives, we're on a mission to redefine language learning, guided by empathy and driven by a customer-centric approach to building meaningful products.

Our Creative Studio is the in-house team behind Preply's video and motion content, from brand campaigns to product and organic channels. As a Video Editor in Brand, you’ll put your post-production artistry into practice and leave a lasting mark on our brand on multiple fronts, from paid media to product feature videos.

We’re looking for a seasoned Video Editor with a strong creative eye and technical expertise to elevate our video content and brand. Someone who can own color grading and/or audio engineering in our post production process. In this role, you’ll share the video post-production process end to end with another editor: editing, collaborating with our motion graphics designers, and delivering polished final outputs.

• Post-Production: Maintain the integrity of the color grading or audio mastering, and motion graphic renders to deliver the final outputs for our video assets. Effectively editing our main campaign spots into shorter versions. Reformatting said spots for all other formats; including reformatting motion renders and localization for other language markets.

• Technical Execution: Utilize industry-standard software (e.g., Adobe Premiere, etc.) to produce high-quality edits and light compositing, ensuring consistency and attention to detail.

What you need to succeed

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Cinema, Videography, Motion Design, Visual Communications, or related field.

• 5+ years of experience working as an Editor in a marketing or branding role, preferably in a digital-first environment.

• 2+ years experience with Motion Graphics. Enough comfort to change and reformat designs created by the motion graphics team, as well as comfort in using templatized motion graphics designs on your own.

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, After Effects, Audition) and Figma is a good plus. Other editing software is appreciated.

• Emerging technologies and AI tools knowledge is a strong plus

• Strong understanding of rhythm, color grading and sound mixing, motion principles, storytelling and narrative, and layout techniques.

• A keen eye for detail and the ability to translate complex concepts into visually compelling videos.

• An interest in collaborating on improving processes and workflows with automation and documentation
