About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and evolve Superhuman’s motion design language — spanning UI micro-interactions, onboarding flows, feature introductions, loading states, and brand moments across product and marketing.
Design, prototype, and deliver high-fidelity micro-interactions and transitions that communicate state, guide attention, and make our product feel alive.
Actively use AI-powered motion tools — including generative video, creative AI and LLM-assisted workflows as a core part of how you concept, iterate, and produce.
Build and maintain motion guidelines, principles, and a shared library of reusable animation components that help other designers and engineers implement motion consistently.
Partner with engineering to ensure animations are implemented accurately and performantly in production, with a clear understanding of Lottie, CSS animations, and React-based animation libraries.
Explore speculative motion concepts that push forward what Superhuman’s product could feel like — using prototypes to communicate ideas before they’re built.
Mentor other designers on motion craft and help build a culture where animation is thoughtfully and consistently applied.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Have 6+ years of motion design experience and an outstanding portfolio that demonstrates genuine mastery in UI/product animation and brand storytelling.
Are expert-level in After Effects and have real experience with at least two prototyping/motion tools: Rive, Principle, Framer, Runway or Weave.
Have strong Figma fluency, including Figma Motion, Smart Animate, and interactive component prototyping, and are comfortable navigating complex file structures.
Understand how animations are implemented in code (Lottie, CSS, React Spring) and can work closely with engineers to close the gap between design intent and production reality.
Have exceptional taste in timing, rhythm, easing, and the emotional quality of motion. You feel the difference between a great animation and a good one.
Communicate your decisions with clarity and confidence. You can walk a non-designer through why a transition works and is on brand, or why it isn’t.
Nice to Have:
3D motion or node-based motion experience in Cinema 4D, Blender, Spline, or Houdini.
Background in interaction design or UX prototyping in addition to motion.
Experience building AI-assisted motion workflows or custom pipelines.
