ABOUT CLIENT
—
Algomarketing is partnering with our client’s Marketing team to set up a dedicated MENA creative studio. The studio produces locally relevant, performance-led creative for Gemini, Google AI Mode and other Google products, with Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Egypt as primary markets and Morocco and Iraq as secondary markets. It covers two workstreams: original lower-funnel content built from scratch, and adaptation of global and regional campaigns for local markets. Brand strategy and big-idea concepts stay with our client’s lead agency; the studio owns everything from local origination through to resizing, formatting and handoff to the media agency.

ABOUT THE ROLE
—
We are looking for a senior AI Motion Designer to lead motion and video production for our client’s new MENA creative studio. Motion is the studio's priority format, and you will produce short-form video and social motion at volume across multiple formats in parallel.
You will mix brand footage with raw creator video, build motion systems that scale across markets, and use generative AI tools to speed up production. The work covers original lower-funnel campaigns and adaptations of global and regional work for Gemini and Google AI Mode across KSA, Egypt, Morocco, and Iraq.

Adaptation and versioning

• Adapt global and regional video for local markets, including Arabic supers and right-to-left layouts.

AI-enabled workflows

• Use generative AI tools (such as Gemini, Veo, and Imagen) for ideation, storyboarding, asset generation, and production speed.

• Maintain quality and brand standards on all AI-assisted output.

REQUIREMENTS
—

• 7+ years of motion design and video editing experience in an agency, studio, or in-house team.
