Job Description

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.

  • 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

Requirements

  • 6+ years of in-house or agency experience with a dedicated focus on design and motion graphics/animation
  • A strong point of view, high craft standards, and the confidence to present and defend your work to stakeholders
  • An outstanding reel or portfolio showing mastery of motion craft, timing, storytelling, and design direction
  • Fluency in After Effects, Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and other creative tools of the trade, plus experience using AI-assisted tools to accelerate production
  • A systems-minded approach to building motion templates and reusable assets other teams can rely on
  • 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

Benefits

  • A fast-paced and collaborative environment
  • Learning and development allowance
  • Competitive cash and equity compensation, and opportunity for advancement
  • 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage
