Motion Designer & Video Specialist

Location: UK (Hybrid) Office requirement: Hybrid - 2 day per week in London office Employment type: Permanent As our Video Specialist you'll: Be a skilled and self-sufficient video producer who can take a project from brief to final delivery without missing a beat. You will film with confidence, edit at pace, and create animations that make ideas land. You will sit within the Creative Studio alongside designers and content creators, and you will help shape what motion looks like at GWI, bringing your own creative point of view to how we use video and animation across campaigns, social content, product launches and internal communications. Reporting to the Associate Creative Director within our Creative Studio, you will work across all go-to-market teams to produce video that attracts the right audiences, supports the sales journey, and reflects the quality of a company that takes its craft seriously. You will need to understand how different video formats serve different business objectives and be able to execute everything from punchy social clips and animated explainers to long-form thought leadership and event coverage. Your ability to work autonomously and deliver complete video solutions will be essential as we scale GWI's position as the leading AI-native insights platform. You will create content that showcases our data and insights expertise while driving measurable business outcomes. What you’ll own: 👉 Filming and on-set production You will plan, set up, and execute video shoots independently. This means handling lighting, framing, and audio yourself, across a range of formats from interview and talking-head setups to product demonstrations and event coverage. You will be comfortable operating without a crew and adapting quickly when shoots do not go to plan. 👉 Editing and post-production You will edit footage to a high standard and deliver at pace. This includes cutting, colour grading, audio mixing, captioning, and exporting in the right specifications for each platform. You will be expected to produce publish-ready work end-to-end, iterating quickly on feedback without losing quality along the way. 👉 Motion graphics and animation You will create sophisticated animations and motion graphics that elevate our video content and extend beyond it. This is not just about supporting video with basic titles or lower thirds. We want someone who can produce high-quality motion work that stands on its own, whether that is animated brand campaigns, motion design applied to the website, or complex data visualisations that make our insights genuinely compelling. You will help define what motion means at GWI, setting the standard and pushing what the Creative Studio is capable of. 👉 AI tools and workflow innovation You will actively use AI tools to increase the speed and quality of your video output. This means staying genuinely curious about new developments in AI-assisted production, whether that is tools that accelerate editing, automate repetitive tasks, assist with scripting, enhance footage, or open up new creative possibilities. You will bring what you learn back into the team, helping others across the Creative Studio to produce quality video content themselves. Lowering the barrier to video production across the business is a genuine part of this role. 👉 Cross-team content support You will work directly with Product Marketing, Demand Generation, Sales, and PR teams to create video that supports events, product launches, campaigns, partnerships, and revenue initiatives. You will translate technical product information and business strategies into content that is clear, engaging, and on brand. 👉 Content performance and optimisation You will track how your video content performs against business objectives and optimise based on what drives leads, conversions, and revenue impact. You will understand how to tailor content for different platforms, including LinkedIn, the GWI website, paid media, and internal communications, and apply those learnings to future work. 👉 Brand voice and visual consistency You will work within GWI's brand direction while actively helping to shape what it looks and feels like in motion. This is not a role where you simply follow a rulebook. We want someone who understands the guardrails, contributes to developing them, and brings enough creative authority to push the work forward while keeping it coherent across every touchpoint. What do I need to bring with me? We’re looking for someone who brings strong experience across the role. You might not meet every criteria, but you’ll have the seniority and judgement to operate confidently and deliver impact. Here’s what the team will be looking for: Demonstrable experience filming and editing professional video content across multiple formats and platforms, with a portfolio to show for it. Proven ability to deliver publish-ready video content end-to-end, from shoot planning through to final export, with minimal supervision. Strong motion graphics and animation skills, using tools such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, or equivalent. Experience working at pace in a creative studio, agency, or in-house brand environment. A strong eye for detail and a genuine commitment to the quality of what you put out.
