Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Evolve and elevate Pinterest’s performance motion across social and digital touchpoints (Meta, TikTok, Snap, YouTube, and beyond).
  • Create high-impact, globally recognized motion assets that drive clear business outcomes (installs, sign-ups, re-engagement) while staying true to the Pinterest brand.
  • Translate static concepts into motion systems: storyboards, animatics, and template libraries that scale across regions, channels, and formats.
  • Iterate quickly and communicate ideas across various levels of fidelity—concept frames, animatics, rough cuts—with the ability to receive and give feedback constructively.
  • Collaborate with designers, copywriters, producers, and growth partners to develop ideas from brief to final delivery, ensuring creative is on-brand, on-message, and optimized for performance.
  • Use performance data, creative insights, and channel best practices to continually refine motion approaches, timing, and narrative structure.
  • Explore and responsibly integrate AI and emerging tools to speed up exploration, pre-viz, and variation while keeping a high bar for craft.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience creating motion/video for performance marketing, digital advertising, or social content.
  • A portfolio that showcases outstanding motion work across social and digital channels—demonstrating strong storytelling, pacing, and a clear understanding of platform constraints.
  • Exceptional attention to detail across layout, typography, color, and movement in motion.
  • Experience designing and animating for both product-focused and brand-building campaigns.
  • Comfort working quickly and efficiently across multiple projects at once, with a bias toward testing and learning.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills; you can clearly articulate your motion decisions to creative and non-creative stakeholders.
  • Mastery of motion tools (After Effects and at least one editing tool); familiarity with Figma and Adobe Creative Suite for partnering with designers is a plus.

Preferred

  • Bonus: experience with AI-adjacent motion tools (e.g., Runway, generative video, or similar) and an interest in using them thoughtfully to unlock new creative possibilities.
