[Hiring] Lead Editor @Inca Digital, Inc.

Role Description

We are seeking a creative, self-driven Lead Editor to translate technical concepts, data narratives, and brand stories into clear, compelling visual narratives. In this role, you will serve as a central motion design resource—fielding and triaging incoming requests from internal stakeholders across C-Suite, Business Development, and Marketing. You will take ownership of the full motion design workflow:

• Interpreting brief materials
• Balancing incoming requests with proactive conceptual work
• Turning abstract ideas into dynamic visual narratives that align with our brand identity

This is a fully remote, global role. We operate on an async-first model, meaning your location and time zone do not matter—you are free to work whenever you are most productive. The only scheduling requirement is the flexibility to attend a couple of fixed weekly team syncs and occasional ad-hoc project alignment meetings, as well as the agility to handle occasional short, time-sensitive project turnarounds.

Key Responsibilities

• Stakeholder Ingestion: Field, triage, and translate incoming requests from marketing, business development, and executive teams into structured visual execution plans.
• Motion Design: Conceptualize, design, and animate high-quality motion graphics for digital products, marketing assets, social media, and corporate communications.
• Story & Narrative Ownership: Analyze project briefs and underlying content to construct clear, logically coherent visual narratives that support our overall brand story.
• End-to-End Animation Pipeline: Manage projects from initial concept and rough visual sketching to motion execution, sound pairing, and final file export.
• Brand Alignment: Work within established brand guidelines, typography systems, visual frameworks, and color palettes.
• Async Collaboration: Communicate design rationale, project updates, and creative concepts clearly in written and asynchronous video formats (e.g., GitHub).

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional experience as a Motion Graphics Designer or Editor.
• Technical Mastery: Strong proficiency in Adobe Suite, especially After Effects.
• Visual Storytelling & Narrative Sense: Proven portfolio demonstrating high craft in motion design, visual rhythm, timing, typography, and the ability to explain complex ideas visually.
• Creative Autonomy & Agility: Ability to take loose briefs or raw concepts, independently map out motion concepts with minimal daily supervision, and navigate fast-paced deadlines.
• Cross-Functional Communication: Excellent written and verbal English communication skills with comfort collaborating directly with internal stakeholders in a remote, async environment.
• Meeting Availability: Flexibility to attend a few recurring weekly team syncs and periodic ad-hoc project meetings, regardless of your local time zone.

Bonus Points / Preferred Skills

• Experience animating data visualizations, infographics, charts, or UI components.
• Experience with Figma or Framer.
• Experience creating engaging visual metaphors for abstract or technical B2B topics.
• Subject matter knowledge in FinTech, crypto/Web3 or cybersecurity.

Benefits

• Fully remote, high-trust environment prioritizing impact and delivered results over hours logged.
• Competitive compensation as well as medical, childcare & fitness stipends, mental health support, and fully covered co-working spaces.
• Investment in employees through childcare and wellness stipends and dedicated employee assistance resources.
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge tech that defines the field.
• Fun work environment with engaging activities.
