Video Editor (Videography, Graphic & Motion Design)
Robot24.com, Dubai, UAE
Experience: 5 to 8 years
About the Role
Robot24.com is looking for a multi-skilled Video Editor who is curious about robots, AI and the technology shaping the future. You can shoot it, cut it, design it and animate it, and you know how to turn raw footage into content people actually want to watch and share.
You will edit short-form and long-form videos for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X and Facebook. You will also shoot on location and in the studio, design graphics and thumbnails, and create motion graphics and animations that make complex tech stories clear and exciting.
This is not a role for someone who waits for edit instructions. You find the story yourself, and you are hungry to learn and grow fast.
Your Responsibilities
- Edit high-performing short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts
- Edit long-form YouTube content and cut social clips from it
- Build a strong hook into the first 1 to 3 seconds of every video
- Review raw footage and pull out the strongest moments, reactions and quotes
- Shoot videos on location, at events and in the studio, including interviews, product shots and b-roll
- Set up cameras, lighting and audio for professional-quality shoots
- Design graphics, thumbnails, social posts and visual assets in line with the Robot24.com brand
- Create motion graphics, animated titles, lower thirds, transitions and explainer animations
- Add captions, subtitles, sound design and music that make the story stronger
- Adapt the same story for different platforms, formats, lengths and aspect ratios
- Colour grade footage for a consistent, premium look
- Spot trends, formats and sounds early and turn them into content that fits the brand
- Use platform data (retention, watch time, shares) to improve every edit
- Organise and manage footage, project files and asset libraries
- Work closely with the Editorial, Social Media and Production teams
You Must Have
- 5 to 8 years of professional video editing experience, with a strong focus on social media content
- Hands-on videography experience, including camera operation, lighting and audio recording
- Graphic design experience, including thumbnails, social posts and branded visuals
- Motion design experience, including animated titles, graphics and explainer animations
- A portfolio showing your editing, videography, graphic design and motion design work
- Advanced Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve skills
- Strong After Effects skills for motion graphics and animation
- Strong Photoshop and Illustrator skills (or similar design tools)
- Good sound design, music selection and colour grading skills
- Strong understanding of each platform: formats, safe zones, trends and what works where
- Strong sense of hooks, pacing and retention
- Excellent visual taste. You know what feels modern and premium
- Ability to work independently and turn unstructured footage into a clear story
- Excellent attention to detail
Highly Desirable
- Degree in Film, Media Production, Graphic Design, Animation or a related field
- Experience in a news, media, tech or brand environment
- Experience with cinema cameras (Sony, Canon, Blackmagic or similar)
- Drone operation experience (with a valid UAE licence is a plus)
- 3D design or animation skills (Blender, Cinema 4D or similar)
- Experience with AI tools for video, design or audio
- Multicam editing and proxy workflows
- Frame.io or similar review platforms
- Own social accounts or content with strong organic reach
What Matters Most
Technical skill is the baseline. We want someone who looks at a story, a shoot or a pile of raw footage and instantly knows:
- Where is the story?
- What is the hook?
- What shot do we need to capture?
- Where will a graphic or animation explain this better?
- What would someone actually want to share?
You should be equally at home shooting an interview, designing a thumbnail, animating an explainer and cutting a fast 30 second Reel.
Who Will Succeed
You notice when a shot stays on screen half a second too long or a title is one pixel off. You know great content is about timing, storytelling and taste, not more effects. You follow the latest in tech, AI and visual trends because you genuinely find them exciting. You take feedback well, learn fast and don’t need anyone to tell you what to create next.
