Salary

💰 $165,000 - $185,000 per year

About the role

  • Lead motion work from concept through production — brand campaigns, product launches, social content, event visuals, and explainer films.
  • Collaborate with our video team, designers, and cross-functional partners to develop video and film projects that advance the brand.
  • Build and extend motion design systems: principles, behaviors, and templates that others can use and build on.
  • Translate dense concepts into short, clear stories that a broad audience can understand and remember.
  • Raise the bar for motion across the company. Review work, mentor teammates, and bring a strong point of view about how animation serves communication.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of motion design experience in an agency or in-house creative team, with a portfolio that shows range across brand, product, and narrative work.
  • Deep fluency in After Effects and Figma. You've worked on UI and character animation, not just video.
  • Strong pre-production craft: concepting, scripting, and storyboarding ideas into clear motion beats.
  • Clear, proactive communication. You can present work to non-designers and bring people along with your creative rationale.
  • Genuine curiosity about where the tools are going. You're exploring Rive, Jitter, Cavalry, or generative AI in order to expand what's possible.
  • Nice to Haves: You have live action or illustration skills. You’ve built tools, templates, or workflows that enable non-motion-designers to work with animation confidently.
Benefits
  • competitive cash compensation
  • equity

  • reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans
