Creative Lead, Motion & Video

Skills

About the Role

You will bring high-impact broadcast storytelling to life through video and design, shaping and setting the tone for the visual identity of NinjaTrader Live across the livestream, social clips, lower-thirds, and every visual component put in front of the audience. One day you're cutting a sizzle reel for the livestream, the next you're building an impactful intro for a new segment launch, and the day after you're turning around a same-day social clip from a community meetup. You'll elevate the visual standard, direct a Senior Graphic Designer, and own the output end to end, thriving in a fast-moving, live production environment while bringing forward a strong creative vision.
