• Apply strong visual hierarchy, typography, labels and accurate scales, and verify facts and figures against approved sources
• Produce branded animation following the brand and video style guidelines, keeping motion purposeful and consistent across series
• Build reusable graphics, components and templates, and run thorough self-checks for accuracy, typography, clarity and brand consistency
• Collaborate with the YouTube Video Strategist, content specialists and video editors, present concepts for approval, respond to feedback and deliver editable source files and exports on time

Required profile

• A strong portfolio of explanatory motion graphics you personally designed and animated
• Experience designing charts, diagrams, data visualisations or other information-rich graphics
