Woran Wir Glauben GmbH

WORAN WIR GLAUBEN! Kreativ, schnell, relevant. Wir sind eine Agentur, die Dinge wirklich umsetzt. Mit Anspruch, Tempo und einem klaren Blick für das, was funktioniert. KI gehört für uns dazu. Jeden Tag. Wen wir suchen: Menschen, die nicht warten, bis ihnen jemand sagt, was zu tun ist. Menschen, die Dinge sehen, anpacken und besser machen wollen. Du musst nicht alles können. Aber du solltest den Anspruch haben, gute Arbeit zu machen – und mit jeder Aufgabe besser zu werden. Du bist Designer? Perfekt. Dann gestaltest du nicht nur hübsch, sondern denkst in Ideen, Kampagnen und Wirkung. Du arbeitest mit KI? Sehr Gut. Nicht als Spielerei, sondern als Werkzeug, um schneller zu iterieren, besser zu werden und mehr rauszuholen. Wie wir arbeiten: Alle machen alles – zumindest ein Stück weit. Konzept, Design, Video, Content, Shooting. Kein Silodenken. Kein „ist nicht mein Job“. Wir arbeiten schnell. Wir geben uns Feedback. Und wir wollen, dass Dinge vorangehen. Nicht immer perfekt. Aber zuverlässig gut – und immer ein Stück besser. Was bei uns nicht funktioniert: „Sag mir einfach, was ich machen soll.“ „Das haben wir schon immer so gemacht.“ Was funktioniert: Neugier. Ownership. Energie. Der Wille, sich weiterzuentwickeln – gerade jetzt, wo sich durch KI alles verschiebt. Hier kannst du zeigen, was du kannst. Und herausfinden, was noch geht. Was du bekommst: Verantwortung statt Micromanagement. Ein Team, das liefern will. Raum, besser zu werden. Und ein Umfeld, das sich bewegt – nicht stehen bleibt. Wenn dich das eher reizt als abschreckt: Dann sollten wir sprechen.

Portable

ABOUT PORTABLE We are Australia’s leading innovation partners for public good – developing technology and design solutions that power the public and the people who serve it. We seek out areas of acute social need and work with government agencies, nonprofit organisations, and socially-minded businesses to make transformational change. There are currently 65+ of us – researchers, strategists, designers, creatives, technologists, and producers – working from our head office in Collingwood and remotely from co-working spaces and homes across Australia. This role sits in our Design and Creative Services team, which is a multidisciplinary team of human centred designers, producers and creatives who work to understand and define the needs of people and organisations and bring them through a design process towards solutions that make a real difference. Within that, you'll be part of a small, close-knit creative team, focused on storytelling, video /  animation production and photography. We work side by side on projects day to day, and lean on each other a lot. It's a small team, so you'll need to hit the ground running.   THEN THERE’S YOU! We're looking for an Animator / Motion Designer/ Video Editor who's a storyteller first, a technician second. You'll bring strong craft across animation and editing, but what sets you apart is your instinct for narrative: knowing what to cut, what to linger on, and how to shape footage or motion into something that actually lands with an audience. How to collaborate with clients and the community to tell their stories and elevate different voices. You'll be comfortable sitting in a room with a client or a community member, hold your own creative point of view, and collaborate to tell their stories and elevate different voices, building the work together with them rather than just executing a brief. You'll work across a mix of client and internal projects, from motion graphics and 2D animation through to video editing and colour grading, translating a client's brand and tone into work that tells stories that matter for organisations working on real social impact. Alongside the craft, you'll bring the judgement and experience to help lead and mentor others as the team grows. IF YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK, YOU MIGHT HAVE:  * Design and animate motion graphics, brand animations and title sequences * Edit footage, including selects, colour grading, and audio integration * Composite footage, including motion tracking and green screen work * Bring creative direction and storytelling instinct to client briefs, not just technical execution * Collaborate with clients, translating their brand and tone into video and animation * Facilitate a storytelling workshop or storyboarding workshop with clients or people with lived experience to draw out their needs, ideas, and constraints. * Contribute to internal storytelling workshops, helping upskill the broader Portable team on how motion, video and animation can support other practices * Mentor other editors and animators, with a view to growing into a team leadership role as the team scales * Bring a curious, experimental mindset to AI tools (Runway, Artlist, LLMs, image and video models), with a considered point of view on where they help and where they don't YOU'LL BE EXPECTED TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN THESE AREAS: * Strong experience in motion design, 2D animation, and video editing * Prolific in After Effects, with strong Premiere Pro skills * Illustration and character design skills, with the ability to bring original visual concepts to life. Adobe illustrator, pro create  * Confident storyboarding, from concept through to shot-ready sequences * A track record of storytelling that goes beyond technical polish, with clear creative judgement * Client-facing experience, comfortable facilitating discussion, translating feedback into better work * Experience mentoring or leading other editors or animators * Curious about AI tools and workflows, without needing to be an expert * Nice to have: filming/camera operation, 3D animation, photography, Photoshop/InDesign, copywriting, workshop facilitation * A genuine interest in co-design, social change, or purpose-driven work is a strong plus   HOW WE REMUNERATE AND SUPPORT OUR TEAM The salary range for this role is $75,000 - $95,000 plus superannuation, negotiable based on experience. This role is Melbourne-based, working from our Collingwood office 3 - 4 days a week, with 1 - 2 days a week available as hybrid/work from home. We'd also consider part-time arrangements (e.g. 0.8 FTE) for the right candidate. Joining Portable means becoming part of an organisation with an award-winning workplace culture, where your contributions are valued and you're supported by a genuinely multidisciplinary team. Here's what else you can look forward to: * Meaningful work with impact: We take on projects that aim to make a positive difference in areas like mental health, social justice, and accessibility * Flexible work arrangements: We support a flexible working environment—whether it’s from home, the office, or a café—with remote and hybrid options (up to 4 days per week), flexible hours, and personalised start/finish times * Enhanced leave benefits: Enjoy bonus annual leave based on tenure, the option to purchase additional leave, paid volunteering leave, and paid mental health days as personal leave with no explanation or medical certificate required * Growth and career development: We offer structured career pathways, an annual professional development allowance of $1,000 and two working days, access to our Emerging Leaders program, twice-yearly salary reviews, and ongoing leadership coaching for those ready to step up * Wellbeing support: Through our Employee Assistance Program with The Mindroom, our team can access up to 4 counselling sessions per year, with support for general wellbeing, career planning, and managing life’s challenges * Financial incentives: Team members are eligible for a profit-sharing bonus and can explore employee share plan options, as well as salary sacrificing * Family-friendly policies: We offer enhanced parental leave and support part-time arrangements that work around family commitments, such as school drop-offs and caring for sick loved ones   HOW TO APPLY We’re committed to building a diverse and equitable team. People from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. To be considered, please send us: 1. Your resume. 2. A short (max. one-page) cover letter answering: 1. What attracted you to this role, and why do you think it’s a good fit for you? 2. Tell us about a project where you used video or animation to tell a story with social impact. What was your role, and what made it effective? 3. Link to your portfolio with recent relevant work

STARK

ABOUT US STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionising the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop, and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost-effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments. We are focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems, not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe today. YOUR MISSION We are looking for a Midweight/Senior Video Editor & Motion Designer to join our in-house visual content team. You will be a true editorial partner who owns the post-production pipeline end-to-end, working closely with the Head of Design & Brand and the Visual Content Manager. We aren't looking for someone to just take orders and stitch clips together. You will be a creative collaborator who pushes back on direction, offers "Plan B" solutions on the timeline, and understands how to visualize invisible engineering and raw performance in a way that feels natural, not forced. RESPONSIBILITIES * Own the edit from ingest to final delivery for high-end campaigns, technical deep-dives, and social assets. * Craft compelling stories that communicate the nuances of complex hardware and autonomous systems. * Handle professional color grading (utilizing ACES/DWG workflows) and immersive sound design natively within DaVinci Resolve. * Design and animate clean, functional 2D graphics and technical overlays that explain data and engineering concepts clearly. * Create large-scale motion design assets for trade show LED screens and global advertising campaigns. * Work with 3D product renders to composite them naturally into live-action shots, ensuring a seamless blend of digital and physical assets. * Actively contribute to the creative process by identifying narrative problems and proposing superior editorial solutions. QUALIFICATIONS * Bring 5–10 years of experience shaping stories within the outdoor, technical hardware, or high-performance lifestyle industries. * Operate as a DaVinci Resolve Expert by using the platform as your "home base" for high-end editing, professional color grading, and sound design. * Demonstrate After Effects Fluency through the creation of technical overlays and motion graphics that elevate the broader narrative. * Showcase 3D Proficiency as an added bonus, specifically with tools like Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, or Unreal Engine for complex compositing. * Apply your Technical Sensibility to effectively market complex physical products and visualize high-performance engineering concepts. * Maintain a Collaborative Mindset in our fast-paced environment, where you’ll provide creative push-back and meaningful editorial insight. * Present a Portfolio/Reel that highlights a keen eye for pacing, color, and the use of motion design to enhance storytelling. HOW TO APPLY If this sounds like the kind of work you want to be doing, we'd love to see your reel. We are mainly looking to understand your sense of pacing, your eye for color, and how your motion work supports the broader story. If you have any "Before & After" breakdowns of your grades or compositing, please include them, we love seeing how our team builds their work.
