Welcome to Preply's Creative Chapter, where innovation meets passion to craft remarkable experiences for learners and tutors. We're not just creatives, we're on a mission to redefine language learning, guided by empathy and driven by a customer-centric approach to building meaningful products.

Our Creative Studio is the in-house team behind Preply's video and motion content, from brand campaigns to product and organic channels. As a Video Editor in Brand, you’ll put your post-production artistry into practice and leave a lasting mark on our brand on multiple fronts, from paid media to product feature videos.

We’re looking for a seasoned Video Editor with a strong creative eye and technical expertise to elevate our video content and brand. Someone who can own color grading and/or audio engineering in our post production process. In this role, you’ll share the video post-production process end to end with another editor: editing, collaborating with our motion graphics designers, and delivering polished final outputs. You’ll also shape campaign storytelling by editing commercial spots into engaging, channel-specific cuts while preserving core messaging.

Technical Execution: Utilize industry-standard software (e.g., Adobe Premiere, etc.) to produce high-quality edits and light compositing, ensuring consistency and attention to detail.
