About the Role

Agency 15 is seeking a VFX Generalist to handle video editing, 2D/3D animation, and motion graphics for a diverse client base. This role combines traditional post-production techniques with AI video generation tools to enhance capabilities and efficiency within a small in-house team. The position requires a strong understanding of visual principles like lighting, motion, and composition, and involves working on various projects from quick-turn commercials to larger campaign work.

Responsibilities

Edit and finish video content across various formats, including broadcast/OTT commercials, social cutdowns, campaign films, and interactive display content.
Produce 2D and 3D animation and motion graphics, ranging from lower-thirds and titles to full animated sequences and product visualizations.
Utilize AI video generation and editing tools to accelerate production, generate supplementary footage, and expand visual possibilities for projects with smaller budgets.
Light, render, and composite 3D work using Cinema 4D or comparable software, managing render farm workflows for efficient turnaround.
Execute end-to-end post-production tasks in Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Media Encoder), including color correction, audio synchronization, and meeting delivery specifications for various platforms.
Collaborate with producers, creative directors, and account teams to translate creative briefs into final assets under tight deadlines, proactively identifying potential risks to timeline or quality.
Develop and maintain efficient project pipelines and file/version management systems to ensure smooth workflow between team members and freelancers.
Support technology integration for interactive and display projects by working with developers and vendors as needed.

Requirements

3–6+ years of experience in video editing, VFX, or motion design, preferably within an agency, studio, or in-house production setting managing multiple concurrent projects.
Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop) and Cinema 4D or a similar 3D application.
Demonstrated experience with AI video/image generation tools (e.g., Seedance 2.0, Veo, Gemini, Runway, Kling, Sora) and a clear understanding of their application versus traditional production methods.
Deep practical understanding of lighting and composition principles for 3D/CG work, as well as for evaluating and enhancing live-action footage.
Comfort with render farm workflows and file/asset management for large-scale renders and campaigns.
Process-oriented approach with the ability to work efficiently under tight deadlines, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and clearly communicate project status.
A reel or portfolio demonstrating both animation/motion work and video editing is required for consideration.
