Creative Lead, Motion & Video
What you'll do: Bring high-impact broadcast storytelling to life through video and design. NinjaTrader Live is looking for an Creative Lead, Motion & Video with a specialty in video and motion graphics to shape and set the tone for the visual identity of NinjaTrader Live and all experiences across the livestream, every social clip, every lower-third, and every visual component we put in front of our audience. One day you're cutting a sizzle reel for the livestream. The next you're building out an impactful intro for a new segment launch. The day after, you're turning around a same-day social clip from a community meetup. You elevate the visual standard, direct a Senior Graphic Designer, and own the output end to end. If you thrive in fast-moving, live production environments, bring forward a strong vision, and understand how to build intentionally for different channels and scenarios, this role is for you.
In this role you will: Own the visual direction for NinjaTrader Live and all NT Live-adjacent creative — establishing a cohesive look and feel across broadcast, social, email, and experiential touchpoints
Define and develop video and motion graphics systems (intros, outros, stingers, lower-thirds, sizzle reels, social clips) that elevate and unify the brand's dynamic identity
Leverage AI creative tools as a core part of your workflow, not a novelty
Direct and contribute to video editing across formats — livestream recaps, social cutdowns, ads, highlight reels, and promotional content
Define creative standards for short-form video, ensuring strong hooks, pacing, and visual treatments optimized for engagement and retention
Direct the Senior Graphic Designer, ensuring static and motion systems evolve cohesively and the creative bar stays high across every deliverable
Provide clear, actionable feedback that supports the growth and output of your direct report while maintaining quality and consistency across all work
Collaborate cross-functionally with producers, media, and social teams to translate business goals into compelling visual storytelling
Own the creative process from concept through execution — balancing hands-on design work with strategic oversight
Stay ahead on motion design, video, live streaming assets, and AI creative advancements
Build the systems that make scale possible: own templates, style guides, and asset organization workflows that enable the team to produce more, faster, without losing consistency
Own and delegate the creative schedule — managing multiple live and in-progress projects with competing deadlines and same-day turnarounds
What you'll need: 5+ years of experience in motion graphics, video editing, or art direction roles
Strong portfolio demonstrating motion design, video editing, and brand storytelling across multiple platforms
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, including After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop
Experience developing and maintaining visual systems across multiple content channels
Strong understanding of pacing, storytelling, and audience engagement in both long-form and short-form video and how delivery varies across channels
Proven ability to produce high-quality video, static, and motion creative across multiple formats, markets, and languages at speed
Ability to shape creative vision while remaining hands-on in execution
Experience managing or directly overseeing at least one designer or creative contributor
Familiarity with working in fast-paced environments with tight turnaround times, ideally in live or near-live production settings
