Responsibilities

• Own motion end-to-end : Lead motion work from concept through final delivery—storyboards, style frames, animatics, and finished assets—across brand campaigns, launch videos, web/digital experiences, and in-product moments (micro-interactions, onboarding), applying expert timing, easing, and visual storytelling with a sharp eye for detail and brand consistency.
• Motion systems and standards: Build motion templates and reusable animation assets that other teams can confidently work from, and develop and enforce motion design guidelines across the organization
• Tools and AI-assisted workflow: Work fluently in After Effects, Figma, and Adobe Creative Cloud, and use AI-assisted workflows to accelerate production without compromising craft
• Cross-functional partnership: Partner with marketing, web development, and product design to shape how motion shows up across programs and channels, and present design rationale clearly to everyone from peers to senior executives
• Prioritization and ownership: Hold quality high across multiple projects, move with urgency, and take ownership of getting to the right answer even when the brief needs work

• A strong point of view, high craft standards, and the confidence to present and defend your work to stakeholders

• Fluency in After Effects, Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and other creative tools of the trade, plus experience using AI-assisted tools to accelerate production

• Experience developing motion/brand standards and directing contractor or freelance creative work
• Comfort in fast-moving environments where the brief isn't always perfect
• An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes
