Senior Creative Editor, Motion and Design

We need someone who edits like a storyteller, designs like a strategist, and animates like it’s second nature. This role is the connective tissue between raw footage, finished creative, and high-performing digital assets — across paid, organic, and everything in between. You’re fast, you’re precise, and you have taste that shows up in every frame and every pixel. If you think in cuts, compositions, and keyframes simultaneously, this is your seat.

Posthuman is a Detroit-based growth and creative studio. We believe creative-led performance is the engine of modern brand growth. Strategy, storytelling, and execution aren’t separate functions here — they’re one integrated system. We work with ambitious brands that want to show up with clarity, intelligence, and creative intent. No jargon, no filler, no performative cleverness. Just work that works.

You’re the finisher — and often the thinker behind the finish. When strategy produces a brief and production delivers footage, you’re the person who turns all of it into something that actually performs. But you’re not just assembling parts. You’re shaping the pacing, the look, the motion language, the visual system. You work across video editing, motion graphics, and graphic design — not as three separate hats, but as one integrated creative skill set.

This is a senior role. You’ll own output quality across multiple brands and formats, build systems that make production faster and more consistent, and bring creative thinking — not just execution — to everything you touch.

• Edit short-form content built to perform. Cut commercial and social video with sharp hooks, deliberate pacing, and structure that holds attention. Build multiple variations for different audiences, angles, and placements. Deliver files that are genuinely ready to publish — audio cleaned, color corrected, captioned, exported to spec.
• Design motion graphics that elevate the work. Create titles, lower thirds, kinetic typography, transitions, animated callouts, simple explainers, and logo animations. Your motion work should feel intentional, not decorative.
• Build reusable systems. Develop motion templates, design presets, naming conventions, and organized project files that make the whole team faster. You don’t just do the work — you make the work more scalable.
• Design high-performing digital assets. Thumbnails, static overlays, end cards, story frames, brand-forward social graphics. You understand hierarchy, typography, and what makes someone stop scrolling.
• Design social ads that convert. Build paid social creative — static, carousel, and motion-based — with a feel for what drives action, not just attention. Understand hook structures, offer framing, and visual hierarchy tuned for performance. Iterate on winners. Kill what’s underperforming. Treat ad design as a creative discipline, not a production task.
• Maintain and evolve brand systems. Keep visual consistency across everything a brand puts out. When guidelines are light, help define them. When they’re established, protect them — and know when to push them forward.
• Create channel‑specific versions — not lazy resizes. Understand the difference between a 9:16 Tik Tok cut, a 1:1 feed asset, and a 16:9 You Tube pre‑roll. Format, pacing, and hook strategy shift by placement. You build for each one with intention.
• Translate loose direction into strong creative. Take a brief, a conversation, or a half‑formed idea and turn it into something sharp. Ask smart questions early. Propose solutions, not just options.
• Iterate from performance data. When results come back, use them. Concept new angles, build variants, refine what’s working, and kill what isn’t. Creative instinct informed by outcomes.

You’re fast without being careless. Speed is part of the job. But your fast work still looks considered. You know how to prioritize, cut scope intelligently, and deliver quality under pressure — not just volume.

You have sharp modern taste. Your work doesn’t look like 2019. You have a feel for current editing rhythm, typography, layout, motion language, and visual storytelling. You…
