About NDR
Nguyen Digital Research (NDR) is a pioneering UX and consumer-behavior research consultancy founded in Berlin in 2019 . We combine classic methods (surveys, interviews, usability testing) with novel approaches like our patent-pending Digital Diet Analysis (DDA) and documentary-style persona films . Our mission is simple: to help the world listen and understand each other better . We’ve partnered with fast-growing startups and tech companies (clients include Microsoft and TikTok) to deliver consumer insights that inspire innovation and fuel growth .
At NDR, we believe storytelling and artistic expression are as critical as analytics in shaping world-class insights. That’s why we integrate cinematic documentary methods into our research, turning abstract data into vivid, human-centered narratives.
Role Overview
We are looking for a Creative Video Editor to shape and polish our documentary-inspired films that bring consumer personas to life. These films combine long-form interviews, visual research, and artistic imagery to present not just facts, but human perspectives, cultural contexts, and the everyday realities of consumers.
The ideal candidate is both technically skilled in editing and artistically inclined—able to experiment with color, texture, and visual rhythm to elevate the material beyond standard corporate output. You’ll transform raw footage into compelling narratives that make research resonate with founders, investors, and product leaders.
Responsibilities
Edit and craft consumer persona documentaries: Assemble long-form interviews, b-roll, and research visuals into clear, compelling films.
Source and integrate visual research: Incorporate stock images, archival footage, and artistic material to augment spoken content.
Enhance storytelling through design: Use color grading, textures, and shapes to give each film a distinctive, artistic style.
File and workflow management: Organize assets, maintain version control, and ensure projects are delivered on time.
Rapid prototyping: Provide quick cuts and drafts for review, iterating efficiently with the research and strategy team.
Communication: Collaborate closely with researchers, strategists, and clients to align on story direction and revisions.
Optional / bonus: Animate titles or text overlays to enhance viewer engagement.
What We Offer
Access to cutting-edge generative video tools and licensed image libraries.
Opportunity to shape a new form of consumer research storytelling that blends art, film, and data.
Exposure to Cannes-level research film ambitions
Collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of filmmakers, psychologists, technologists, and strategists .
Competitive compensation, with the potential for equity participation.
Career advancement opportunities, including the chance to manage junior videographers as the practice scales.
Why Join NDR?
At NDR, you’ll do more than edit videos—you’ll help pioneer a new research medium. Our films are not commercials or standard corporate reels; they are artistically inspired documents that capture the human condition, grounded in rigid consumer research. If you're looking for a role that sits at the intersection of art, storytelling, and strategy, and where your work could help reverse how companies underground people, this is the place for you.
