What you‘ll do

• Veridion is building a video content arm focused on research-driven explainer videos and mini-documentaries in the style of Wendover Productions and Fern. Think clean visual storytelling, dense but accessible narratives, smart use of maps, data visualizations, and motion graphics — all packaged to hold attention and make complex topics click.
• You will own the visual production pipeline end-to-end: sourcing and creating footage, building motion graphics, assembling narration-driven edits, and delivering polished final cuts that feel like they belong on a top-tier YouTube channel.
• You’d be working as a close collaborator with one person who drives the creative and visual direction. So, while you won’t be making every decision alone, you do need to be resourceful, proactive, and capable of executing a vision at a high level.

Your responsibilities

• Take scripted, narration-based projects from script to final delivery
• Source, create, and curate all visual material — stock footage, AI-generated assets (Midjourney, Runway, Sora, etc.), custom graphics, 3D renders
• Assemble voiceover with supporting visuals (stock footage, screen recordings, AI-generated material, custom graphics)
• Design and animate 2D motion graphics: maps, diagrams, data callouts, transitions
• Create original visual assets — illustrations, icons, scene compositions — rather than relying on templates
• Manage color, pacing, and visual continuity across 10–20 minute episodes
• Work in a tight feedback loop with your collaborator, who owns the visual direction and final creative call

Your qualifications

• Experience editing narration-driven, explainer-style video content — not vlogs, not corporate sizzle reels
• Strong command of After Effects (or equivalent) for motion graphics and visual effects
• Ability to independently source and create visual material — you’re not waiting for someone to hand you assets
• Fluency with generative AI tools for image, video, and asset creation, with good judgment about when and how to use them
• Basic to intermediate 3D skills — ability to create and render simple scenes or environments (Blender, Cinema 4D, or similar)
• A sharp eye for pacing and storytelling rhythm in long-form content
• Comfort working with data-heavy visuals: charts, maps, process diagrams
• Familiarity with Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or a comparable NLEA portfolio that demonstrates clean, information-dense visual work

Bonus Skills

Not required, but will set you apart

• Sound design beyond the basics — crafting soundscapes, layering ambient textures, designing transitions and impact sounds
• Videography — ability to shoot live-action footage when needed (events, B-roll on location)
• Short-form content — skill in repurposing long-form material or creating original content for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels
• Social media distribution — hands-on experience posting, scheduling, and optimizing content across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn; understanding of what drives reach and algorithmic performance

We’re open to candidates from a range of backgrounds — what matters is the quality of your work and your ability to operate independently across the full visual pipeline. Strong fits include:

• Freelance editors / motion designers who’ve built a client base around explainer, educational, or long-form content — people used to owning projects end-to-end without a large team
• YouTube channel editors who’ve worked on research-driven or documentary-style channels and understand the pacing, visual language, and audience expectations of that format
• Agency creatives who’ve produced motion graphics, branded content, or video campaigns and want to move toward more narrative, long-form work
• Production company backgrounds — editors or post-production generalists comfortable with the full post workflow (commercials, documentaries, corporate video)
• Independent creators who run or have run their own channel and understand what it takes to produce polished video from script to publish
