About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Designing and animating motion graphics, kinetic typography, and branded transitions for long-form and short-form video content
Building and maintaining the motion design system, animation templates, and visual standards across all ACQ Media brands
On-screen graphics, lower thirds, animated title treatments, episodic opens/closes, bumpers, etc.
Delivery within a design-to-production handoff pipeline that integrates cleanly into editor timelines
Maintain and evolve the motion design language for each brand (Alex, Leila, Sharran, ACQ) — including timing, easing, color, and typographic animation standards
Build and manage template libraries for animated lower thirds, title cards, social graphics, bumpers, and episodic title treatments in After Effects
Ensure motion consistency across all output — every animated asset should be immediately identifiable as part of its brand
Document motion standards in brand guides and animation style references
Collaborate with the broader media team to ensure motion assets are cohesive with captured footage and overall visual identity guidelines
Create motion graphics, animated text treatments, kinetic typography, and branded transitions for long-form YouTube content and social clips
Design and animate episodic opens, closes, chapter cards, and segment transitions that elevate production value across all series
Build motion assets that integrate cleanly into editor timelines in Premiere Pro with minimal revision cycles
Contribute to a shared motion asset library that accelerates post-production output across the team
Design and animate platform-native motion assets (animated covers, story templates, promo graphics, looping visuals) for Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and YouTube
Produce short-form motion pieces optimized for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok formats
Maintain awareness of platform-specific motion specs, aspect ratios, and safe zones to ensure pixel-perfect delivery
Maintain an organized, tagged, and searchable motion asset library
Apply file naming conventions and version control across all motion output
Deliver assets in correct formats, frame rates, resolutions, and codec specs for each platform and use case — zero ambiguity for the teams receiving them
Leverage AI tools and motion automation (expressions, scripts, plugins) to increase output speed without sacrificing quality
Proactively catch and correct motion inconsistencies, quality drifts, or brand misalignments before they reach post-production
Use performance data to drive motion design decisions, not just aesthetic preference
Continuously raise the animation bar — good enough is not the standard

Requirements

What you’ll need

4+ years of motion design experience in a media, agency, or content production environment
A portfolio demonstrating strong motion craft, typographic animation, and high-volume output

Experience designing and animating lower thirds, title treatments, bumpers, and episodic graphics for video content
Familiarity with platform-specific motion requirements across YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X
Proficiency with After Effects expressions and/or scripting (GSAP, ExtendScript)

Familiarity with AI motion and design tools (Hera, RunwayML, Adobe Firefly, or equivalent) and a drive to integrate them into daily workflows
Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and deliver on tight deadlines without quality degradation
