We’re not looking for someone whose primary background is in cinematography / TV work / traditional commercials (although it’s okay if you have some of that experience as well).

Details about us and the role below.

Who We Are

Our team is the very best at what they do, and we may or may not be having a bit too much fun building this thing together.

A few things about us:

• Founded: 2020
• Team Members: 13 (a small team doing big things)
• Growth: 100% year-over-year growth
• Location: Fully distributed
• We work with awesome brands like Privy, Refine Labs, Constant Contact, and Exit Five

Role Overview

We’re looking to hire Video Animators to create unique and effective social media clips for brands from their podcast episodes, as well as long-from video podcasts.

First and foremost, we’re looking for someone who is excited about what we’re doing. You should be passionate about podcasting and social media video content.

The Video Animator will collaborate with our Video Team, create world-class video assets, and have a lot of fun in the process!

This is a full-time, 40 hour a week position (Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm PH, GMT+8)

What You’ll Do

You’ll report directly to our Video Team Lead and collaborate with him and the rest of our team to create unique video assets for our customers.

Specifically, you will:

• Edit and produce long-form video podcast interviews to Hatch’s standards and the client’s specifications.
• Improve raw footage by correcting lighting and color-grading.

• Insert music, graphic elements and branding assets.

• Create clips that are optimized for each platform (TikTok, IG, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube primarily), closely following each customer’s specific style guide and format, and ensuring each clip is up to quality standards. Clips can range from captions only to full-on custom animation. Have we mentioned we have fun?

• Maintain organization systems including file naming conventions, uploading all assets to appropriate folders, and keeping project management dashboard updated.

• Participate in team calls and communicate effectively via Trello and Slack.
• Stay on top of the latest trends in video and podcasting so that we can implement new, innovative, and creative approaches for our customers that nobody else is doing (we want to always flex our creative muscles and test new styles).

• Here’s some links to examples of the types of video clips and assets we create for customers from their podcast episodes (these are various styles similar to what we’ll be looking for you to help create as well):
  • Example 1
  • Example 2
  • Example 3

  • Example 5

About You

Not all of these are hard requirements, but they do describe the kinds of people that we think would be most effective in this role.

• Tools. You’re an expert at Adobe Premiere Pro and have Adobe After Effects skills. You are also adaptable and willing to use standardized company-wide software. Experience with AI video tools is a plus.

• Excellent communication skills. You have the ability to clearly communicate with other team members verbally and in written form. Our communication style / voice is fun, friendly, informative, & always professionally upbeat.
• Proven ability to follow instructions and maintain intricate organization systems. We’re an international team spread across wide time zones. The only way that works is for everyone to be on the same page, and for everything to be exactly where it’s expected to be. If your eyes rolled even a tiny bit after reading that, this won’t be the right fit

• Attention to detail – Not attention to detail like you remember someone’s name. Attention to detail like you notice if someone puts a phrase in italics in an email but missed a letter at the end that’s still in the standard font. Yes, we’re serious.

• Internally motivated – We don’t (and can’t) micromanage, so if you’re someone who needs to be frequently steered in the right direction or doesn’t work well autonomously, we love you but we’re just not meant to be.

Qualitative:

• Kind – Speak and act kindly, regardless of the situation.

• Empathetic – Able to authentically put yourself in the shoes of customers and teammates.

• Vulnerable – Able to share those “crazy” ideas, respectfully speak up when you disagree with an approach the team or company is taking, and share when you’re going through something personally challenging so we can support you.

• Funny – We’re a company run by talented and fun individuals. If you don’t laugh at a good meme, get sarcasm, and have an easily identified sense of humor (even if it’s different than anyone else’s on the team) we may not be a great fit.

• Personable – Customers and team members would enjoy communicating with you. Never, ever, under any circumstances, are you a naysayer.

• Proactive – You look ahead to stay ahead of possible challenges & take action before you have to and without prompting.

• Resourceful – You wouldn’t ask anyone something you could Google.

• Over-communicative – You’re responsive & engaged, and enjoy speaking to other team members. You provide team members & leadership with status updates as needed.

• Responsible – You keep to-do lists up to date and manage your time effectively.

• Trustworthy – We would never have to wonder if you’re working when you say you are, you’d never dream of sharing any inside intel, and you’re always transparent about mistakes.

• Accountable – You own your work for better or worse, and meet deadlines.

• No ego – “I don’t need to be right; I need to get it right” aligns with your way of thinking.

• Coachable – Not just from a willingness to learn perspective, but you also take any feedback to heart and apply it right away. We’re able to see our feedback and guidance in your work as you get up to speed & beyond.

• Growth mindset – You see consistent learning & improving as an extension of any role you serve in.

Making our people happy makes us happy. Here’s how we do it.

• Live & work where you want in the Philippines – We’ve been remote from the start and have a fully distributed team, so you can live anywhere and work from anywhere your heart desires within the GMT+8 timezone (Philippine Standard Time).

• You’ll have a life outside of work – We work hard and also highly value balanced work/life. We care about family and your own personal development, and don’t expect for you to always be engaged with work.
