The International Dialogue Centre - KAICIID is updating its roster of designers to support the Division's in the production of engaging video content for digital platforms, events, campaigns and institutional communications, as well as the ability to communicate complex information visually. 

 

An Introduction to KAICIID

The International Dialogue Centre (KAICIID) is a unique International Organization which brings together religious leaders, policymakers, and experts with the aim of finding common solutions to shared problems. Our vision is a world where there is respect, understanding, and cooperation among people, justice, peace and reconciliation, and an end to the abuse of religion to justify oppression, violence, and conflict.

 

We are a diverse team of dedicated professionals who deliver impactful results across the globe.

 

Role:

We are seeking a video animator / motion designer to support the production of engaging video content for digital platforms, events, campaigns and institutional communications, as well as the ability to communicate complex information visually.

 

The consultant should be able to transform scripts, key messages and visual assets into clear, dynamic and polished videos adapted for social media, websites, presentations and event screens.

 

Consultants should be comfortable working remotely to tight deadlines. They should be proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (particularly Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro) and able to deliver final artwork in appropriate formats along with open-source design files where applicable. Selected Consultants will be requested to undertake tasks of varying complexity and turnaround times, on an ad hoc basis.

 

Retainer contracts are typically valid until the end of the calendar year, with the possibility of extension based on performance and programme needs. The Centre does not guarantee any minimum level of business to the Consultant. Therefore, no specific information on the expected volume of work can be provided.

 

Use of AI Tools:

Consultants may use AI-based tools (e.g. for layout assistance or image enhancement) only in support of their work, provided such tools do not compromise the confidentiality, originality, quality or ownership of the final design. All deliverables must be reviewed, verified and finalised by the Consultant to ensure they meet KAICIID's design standards and brand guidelines. 

 

The use of AI to generate designs and images without human revision is strictly prohibited. Consultants must not input confidential or unpublished material into AI platforms without express permission.
