Senior Motion Designer (m/f/d)

Your Responsibilities

• Define Motion Principles: Shape how the Raisin brand expresses itself through movement, establishing distinct principles for timing, easing, transitions, and typographic behavior.
• Build & Scale Motion Systems: Create and maintain comprehensive motion guidelines, reusable component libraries, and After Effects/Figma/Jitter templates to enable efficient production across internal teams and external partners.
• Campaign & Social Creation: Partner with Performance and Growth Marketing to produce high-performing motion assets (Meta, Google, YouTube, LinkedIn) and organic social content, from hero campaign assets to fast, iterative test variations.
• Video Editing & Post-Production: Edit and polish campaign videos, product teasers, and social cuts, managing pacing, sound design, light color grading, and burned-in captioning.
• Product & UI Visualization: Collaborate with Web and Product Design teams to create clear product animations and UI micro-interactions (delivered in production-ready formats like Lottie or Rive) that explain savings, investment, and pension concepts simply and transparently.
• End-to-End Ownership: Lead motion projects from concept to final export, including storyboards, styleframes, animation, QA, and oversight of external creative agencies or production partners.
• Mentorship & Culture: Share motion expertise across the broader design team, empowering non-motion designers to think in movement and elevating the team's craft standard.
• Workflow Innovation: Explore emerging tools (including AI-assisted workflows) to streamline repetitive task execution without compromising visual quality.

Your Profile

• 5+ years of motion design experience, in-house or agency, ideally for fintech, tech, or brand-driven companies.
• A strong portfolio showing brand motion work and marketing work: identity systems, campaigns, social content, and product or UI animation.
• Expert in After Effects, Jitter, and Figma; highly proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite.
• A deep understanding of animation principles (timing, easing, staging, rhythm) and how motion communicates brand character.
• Proven track record of thinking in systems, building motion templates, libraries, and workflows that enable other designers to produce consistent work at scale.
• A solid understanding of paid and organic social: formats, safe zones, pacing, and what makes someone stop scrolling.
• Creative pragmatism: you know when to spend two days on a hero animation and when to ship a variation in two hours.
• Data-Informed Approach: Curiosity about creative performance data and an eagerness to test, learn, and iterate based on results.
• Hands-on experience with AI tools in a professional motion or image production workflow.
• Business-fluent English skills with the ability to articulate design rationale clearly and incorporate feedback constructively.

Nice to have

• 3D and animation skills (Cinema 4D, Blender).
• Hands-on experience preparing production-ready Lottie or Rive animations for web and mobile apps.
• Basic understanding of design requirements within regulated industries (finance, health, or insurance).
• German language skills.
