Senior Motion Designer (x/f/m)

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Own the craft. Concept, storyboard, design, and animate 2D and 3D motion assets across TV, Digital OOH, Paid Social, and YouTube.

Scale Brand Systems: Evolve and maintain our global motion design guidelines. Build reusable project templates, workflows, and asset libraries that internal designers and external agencies can seamlessly execute against.

Integrate AI Thoughtfully: Leverage modern AI tools (e.g., Runway, Midjourney) to optimize production speed without compromising brand aesthetic or creative standards.

Collaborate & Mentor: Partner with creative and brand leads to present work to stakeholders, while guiding junior designers and freelancers to raise overall craft quality.

Obsess over details: Execute precise timing, easing, pacing, and basic sound design. Master the invisible stuff that separates ok motion from unforgettable motion.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Experience: 5+ years of dedicated motion design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating excellence in both 2D and 3D execution.
• Systems Mindset: Proven ability to build production pipelines, style frameworks, and scalable workflows for high-volume content environments.
• Technical Toolkit: Advanced proficiency in After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender, Figma, and the broader Adobe Creative Cloud suite.
• Emerging Tech Proficiency: Hands-on experience integrating AI-assisted animation, editing, or image-generation tools into creative workflows.
• Conceptual & Nuanced Craft: Exceptional eye for rhythm and pacing, strong sensitivity to brand context, and the communication skills to navigate stakeholder feedback effectively.
• Solid brand experience. You've applied and evolved brand systems before, not just made pretty one-off videos.
• Meticulous Craft & Sensitivity: Uncompromising taste and attention to detail (from timing and easing to brand nuance and context) backed by the emotional intelligence to navigate feedback and read both a brief and a room well.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in sound design or an intuitive musical sense for pacing and rhythm. ● Prior experience working within the food, D2C, or tech sectors.

Please submit your application along with a portfolio or showreel highlighting your 2D/3D capabilities, above-the-line campaigns (TV/DOOH), and digital channel assets (Paid Social/YouTube).
