Job Description

The National University of Singapore invites applications for a Research Assistant (Senior Video Producer & Motion Graphics Designer) to lead creative projects from concept to final delivery. This is a hands-on role for someone who can combine strong visual storytelling with reliable production and project-management skills.

You will manage the full production process—including creative development, pre-production, filming, editing, motion graphics, colour work, technical adaptation, and delivery across platforms. You should be comfortable taking ownership, making sound creative decisions, and moving projects forward with minimal supervision. As a storyteller, you will explore, experiment, and iterate to develop UI/UX experiences that best engage and resonate with audiences and users. 

We also welcome candidates who are curious about applying video, animation, and visual storytelling to interactive websites and digital experiences.

Key Responsibilities

Video Production

• Produce high-quality video content from initial concept through final delivery.

• Plan and execute podcast-style productions, including multi-camera recordings, interviews, branded conversations, and social-media cutdowns.

• Direct or support filming sessions while maintaining strong visual, audio, lighting, and performance quality.

• Own post-production—including editing, sound treatment, colour correction, grading and adaptation, motion graphics, subtitles, versioning, archiving, and exporting content to required platform specifications. 

Motion Graphics & Creative Development

• Create intermediate-level motion graphics, animated titles, transitions, explainers, social-media assets, and branded visual treatments.

• Translate briefs and business objectives into engaging creative concepts and clear visual narratives.

• Contribute original ideas for content formats and campaigns while maintaining strong brand and visual consistency.

• Explore and experiment with how video, animation, and motion-led visuals can enhance UI/UX, interactive websites, and digital experiences. 

Project Management & Delivery

• Independently manage multiple projects, priorities, timelines, stakeholders, and deliverables.

• Build practical production schedules, clarify dependencies, coordinate contributors and partners, and provide clear progress updates.

• Identify production risks early and recommend workable creative or operational solutions.

• Manage feedback and revision cycles, taking ownership of accurate, on-time delivery to the agreed scope and specifications.

Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
