Duties and Responsibilities:

Video Editing & Motion Graphics

• Edit and assemble high-volume real estate video content in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci, or Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to the studio standard.
• Perform colour correction and grading, exposure balancing, white balance, and contrast adjustments across clips for a consistent, cohesive look.
• Correct shaky or unstable footage, stabilise handheld shots, and adjust framing while maintaining a natural, realistic presentation.
• Use tracks, layers, masks, and non-destructive workflows efficiently; where required, complete multi-cam syncing, drone/aerial integration.
• Design and animate motion graphics elements including location markers on aerial footage, property site outlines, lower thirds, titles, transitions, and logo stings to studio brand guidelines.
• Sync footage to music and voiceover, and manage pacing and rhythm to suit the intended platform and audience.
• Create social media content derived from larger video productions.
• Perform minor edits on larger video projects as required.
• Follow established editing templates and style guidelines, while developing greater independence in the role over time.
• Motion graphics are expected to comprise approximately 10% of the workload, ranging from basic to mid-range requirements such as aerial markups, drop pins, and land boxes, through to more advanced animations for commercial real estate, including traffic visualisation and detailed aerial markups.

File Handling & Production Management

• Maintain excellent file-handling discipline across downloads, working files, exports, uploads, and archives.
• Follow naming conventions, folder structures, export specifications, version control, and delivery procedures exactly.

• Produce clean, on-brand animated property site outlines, title sequences, lower thirds, and end cards from supplied source material, following clients’ branding standards.
• Check spelling, alignment, timing, brand colours, and overall animation presentation before delivery; make revisions quickly when requested.

Quality Assurance & Team Communication

• Complete a final quality-control check before every job is submitted.
• Follow written instructions, job notes, examples, and feedback precisely.
• Communicate clearly in English when a brief is unclear or a production issue is identified.
• Be receptive to feedback, retain corrections, and apply learnings consistently to future work.
• Manage priorities calmly when multiple jobs are due and escalate any risk to deadlines early.
• Participate in strategy and consulting meetings on technical matters – internal and external – for company and client interests.
• Participate in daily morning check-ins with the Australian team through the team’s messaging system.

The role will primarily focus on real estate and property-related video content, with the expected content mix as follows:
