We Are Social is a global socially-led creative agency with unrivalled social media expertise. With more than 1,200 people in 15 offices spanning four continents, we deliver a global perspective to our clients at a time when social media is shaping culture.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Editor / Motion Graphics Artist based in We Are Social Indonesia, reporting to our Executive Creative Director in Singapore.

We’re not looking for someone who only knows how to make polished corporate videos. We’re looking for someone who can craft social-first content that feels native to the platforms people actually spend their time on.

You’ll bring ideas to life through editing, motion graphics, typography, sound design and visual storytelling. Whether it’s a TikTok shot this morning, a campaign film, an Instagram Reel or a piece of always-on content, you’ll know how to make it feel fast, current and culturally relevant.

If you instinctively know where the cut should land, can make a static frame feel alive, and understand how the right piece of motion design can make someone stop scrolling, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Take scripts and raw footage and turn them into scroll-stopping short-form content across TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
• Edit a wide variety of social-first content across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn and emerging platforms, balancing speed with craft.
• Create motion graphics, typography, supers, transitions and graphic systems that feel native to the internet.
• Collaborate closely with creatives and producers to elevate ideas through pacing, rhythm, animation and visual treatment.
• Develop editing styles that suit different brands, understanding that every client has their own visual language while keeping the work platform-native.
• Work across everything from reactive content with same-day turnarounds to larger campaign films, adapting your workflow to the pace of social.
• Experiment with emerging editing techniques, internet aesthetics and platform behaviours, helping keep our work fresh, relevant and far from formulaic.
• You’ll also work with stills and other visual assets where needed, bringing consistency across different content formats.

What are we looking for?

• 3–5 years of experience editing digital, social or branded content, whether in an agency, production company, publisher or as an independent creator.
• Fluent in Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator, with strong working knowledge of CapCut and Canva.
• An exceptional eye for pacing, rhythm and storytelling. You know that sometimes the funniest joke lands one frame earlier.
• A strong understanding of the visual language of social media. You know why some edits feel authentic while others feel like traditional advertising trying too hard.
• A solid understanding of animation principles, typography, layout, colour and composition, allowing you to create motion graphics that enhance the story rather than distract from it.
• Comfortable working with audio, including dialogue clean-up, music editing, sound effects and subtle sound design.
• Comfortable working at pace and adapting to tight, sometimes same-day turnarounds without compromising on craft.
• Curious about culture, trends and the way people actually use social platforms.
• Most importantly, you have taste. You know the difference between editing that simply looks impressive and editing that makes people feel something.
• As this role reports into the Executive Creative Director based in Singapore, and mainly works with the Singapore team. Please submit your application and all relevant documents in English.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

At We Are Social, we celebrate diverse perspectives and experiences, believing the best ideas come from unique voices and talents, including those not traditionally represented in advertising. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people from all backgrounds. We review every application fairly against the requirements of the role and strive to ensure everyone feels valued, included and empowered to contribute to our shared success.
