We are on the search for a talented and adaptable Video Editor & Motion Designer with excellent motion graphics and video editing skills to join our in-house team of creatives.
You will be at the forefront of all things Ministry of Sound, our world-famous nightclub.
We are the home of dance music and we're looking for someone with a strong understanding of club culture, music and youth culture.
This role is vital in creating dynamic edits and motion creative that excite our hugely diverse audience and that promote our brand across various platforms.
Your expertise will help us to deliver captivating visual experiences that enhance the venue, our marketing campaigns, events, and digital content.
You will be happy working within a productive team that operates at pace to deliver a high volume of daily assets, promoting ticket sales and brand awareness and continuity.
This is a full-time, onsite role based at our London office. We believe the best work comes from being together, so this position is studio-based five days per week.
You will be agile and enthusiastic to take on a range of different tasks, passionate about your work and music, and you’ll have plenty of experience to handle projects from briefing to completion.
You will collaborate closely with other in-house creatives who sit across our other businesses.
You will be adept at communication, keen to understand the requirements of others and able to achieve the right results.
You will hold project management experience within platforms like Asana or similar.
You will be highly skilled in Photoshop, Premiere Pro and AfterEffects. Skills and/or interest in 3D software and/or TouchDesigner is a big bonus! This is a creative video and motion-focused role. While most of the work will be creating video edits, motion design forms an important part of the position. Examples of motion design projects include:
• Social assets and campaign content • Artist-led content and announcements • Paid social advertising • Motion graphics for Ministry of Sound sub-brands and events • On-screen visuals and content for live shows
We're ideally looking for someone with a strong eye for design, not someone who solely animates existing artwork. You should be comfortable generating ideas, creating your own visual concepts and designing social assets.
Experience creating visuals for live environments is a bonus, whether through previous projects, personal work or a strong interest in the space.
You are confident contributing ideas, references and creative thinking, whilst remaining open to feedback and able to work within an established creative direction. As well as creating engaging social edits that demonstrate a good use of sound design, transitions and shot selection, you will also assist on shoots when required.
You will be willing to attend club nights, shoots and events when required to support content capture and stay connected to the brand and audience. You will be comfortable working at pace, managing multiple priorities and maintaining a high standard of output under tight deadlines.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A FULL-TIME, ONSITE ROLE BASED IN LONDON, WORKING FROM THE OFFICE FIVE DAYS PER WEEK.
RIGHT TO WORK IN THE UK AND A PORTFOLIO, SHOWREEL OR EXAMPLES OF PREVIOUS WORK ARE REQUIRED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS POSITION.
Ministry of Sound opened in 1991 in a disused bus garage in a forgotten corner of South London. It was the first nightclub in the UK to have a 24-hour licence, didn’t serve alcohol and featured an earth-shaking sound system in a specially constructed dance box.
We went on to become the world’s largest independent record company (now owned by Sony) and stage giant dance events. We were pioneers in electronic music and have a history of taking risks, innovation, and colourful and creative marketing.
Thirty years later we opened The Ministry, a workspace run as a member’s club, in a 50,000 sq. ft Victorian warehouse in SE1. The design is relaxed but functional with a bar, opening windows, an outside courtyard and plenty of space to sit, relax, work and socialise – everything you wouldn’t expect to find in a standard office. There’s great home cooked F&B, a state-of-the-art gym and fitness studio with daily classes, together with a cultural and business events programme.
As a business we don’t take ourselves too seriously, like to laugh and have fun, but we have high standards, a relentless attention to detail and the continuous improvement of our product, and we work hard as a team. We hate cliché, doing things the way others do and continuously seek to differentiate our brands and products almost as a point of pride.
