Graphic Designer & Video Editor at UstackSchool

About the Role

• We are looking for a talented, high-ownership Graphic Designer & Video Editor to lead visual design and post-production across our brand, marketing, and learning platforms. This role sits at the intersection of design craft and editorial storytelling — every asset you produce either builds our brand or improves how our students learn.
• You will design brand-aligned graphics, edit short-form and long-form video, build learning materials for our LMS, and maintain visual consistency across every touchpoint. From social media reels to course thumbnails to live class recordings — this is your canvas.
• You will not just execute briefs. You will own creative quality, design with purpose, and ensure every visual we put out — whether it is a reel, a carousel, or a session cover — reflects the standard our students and audience expect.

Who You Are

• A high-ownership, detail-driven creative who thrives in fast-paced environments and consistently delivers polished work
• You think in systems while executing with precision — you can hold a creative vision and a tight deadline simultaneously
• You translate ideas, briefs, and raw footage into compelling visual narratives that serve both marketing and learning goals
• You care deeply about brand consistency — off-brand is never an option
• You design with audience impact in mind, not just aesthetics
• You build reusable templates and design systems, not just one-off assets
• You edit video with a storyteller's eye — pacing, sound design, captions, transitions, and brand all matter to you

You bring:

• Strong visual design judgment: typography, layout, colour, and hierarchy fundamentals
• Excellent attention to detail with the ability to move fast when needed
• Clear written and visual communication skills
• A proactive, collaborative mindset — you work well across teams
• Humility, curiosity, and a strong builder mentality

Key Responsibilities

Video Editing & Post-Production

You own the edit. You turn raw footage into polished, on-brand video.

• Edit short-form videos for social media, ads, and course promotion using Premiere Pro, CapCut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects
• Edit long-form content including full course recordings, webinars, workshops, and live sessions
• Add captions, lower thirds, transitions, animations, and brand elements to all video outputs
• Apply colour grading, audio mixing, and sound design to deliver broadcast-quality finishes
• Repurpose long-form learning content into short, engaging clips for marketing and LMS previews
• Optimise video outputs for multiple platforms: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and the LMS
• Maintain organised video files, project assets, and an accessible media archive

Brand & Marketing Design

You own the visual output that represents UstackSchool to the world.

• Design brand-aligned visuals for social media, ads, landing pages, email campaigns, and presentations
• Create marketing creatives including banners, thumbnails, carousels, posters, and promotional assets
• Maintain and evolve brand guidelines, design templates, and visual systems across all platforms
• Ensure visual consistency and quality across every customer-facing touchpoint
• Design across Canva (advanced), Adobe Photoshop, and Illustrator, delivering polished, on-brand outputs independently.

Learning Experience & LMS Creatives

This is a core part of the role. Your designs and edits directly shape how students experience our programmes.

• Design and produce creatives for live classes, webinars, workshops, and practical learning sessions hosted on our LMS
• Create class cover images, session banners, module thumbnails, and learner-facing visual assets
• Edit instructor-led session recordings, ensuring consistent audio quality, clean pacing, and branded visual overlays
• Design slides, workbooks, worksheets, and practical exercise templates for instructors and learners
• Create countdown slides, holding screens, and session open and close visuals for live classes
• Design certificates, completion badges, and learner progress visuals
• Ensure all learning creatives are clear, accessible, and easy to understand at a glance.

Motion Graphics & Animation

You bring static brand elements to life across video and social.

• Build animated intros, outros, lower thirds, and transition packs as reusable motion templates
• Create kinetic typography, animated explainers, and diagram animations for instructional content
• Animate infographics, data visuals, and process breakdowns to support learning outcomes
• Maintain a motion library that keeps brand animation consistent across every video we publish

Asset Management & Image Editing

You keep the visual library clean, retouched, and ready to use.

• Edit, retouch, and colour-correct brand, event, team, and student photography to a professional standard
• Prepare and export image assets for digital and print use across social, web, and LMS platforms
• Build and maintain a well-organised asset library accessible to the marketing and content teams
• Manage version control, naming conventions, and archiving of all design and video files

Creative Planning & Collaboration

Great output starts with great planning. You are involved from concept to delivery.

• Collaborate with content, marketing, curriculum, and education teams to conceptualise design and video projects
• Develop storyboards, mood boards, edit outlines, and visual briefs to align creative direction before production begins
• Advise on shoot requirements — shot lists, coverage, and framing — so footage arrives edit-ready
• Design visual concepts, layouts, and motion treatments to complement planned video content

Quality Control & Delivery

You take responsibility for the quality of every file that leaves your hands.

• Review and revise all visual and video outputs based on feedback from educators, marketers, and learners
• Ensure all designs and videos meet brand standards, readability, accessibility, and usability best practices
• Maintain organised file structures, named assets, and a clean media archive for easy team access
• Iterate quickly, communicate progress clearly, and deliver on agreed timelines without prompting

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of proven experience as a graphic designer, video editor, or multimedia designer with a strong portfolio
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and at least one other professional video editing tool
• Proficiency in CapCut or CapCut Pro for short-form video editing
