Collaborate on and lead motion design across the product: define principles, patterns, and guidelines for interaction and UI motion.
Design high-quality microinteractions (transitions, state changes, loading/empty states, feedback, onboarding moments) that improve usability and delight.
Prototype early and often using motion-forward tools to explore interaction models and validate concepts quickly.
Partner deeply with engineers to ensure motion is implemented accurately, efficiently, and accessibly; provide specs and support QA.
Create reusable motion components and contribute to the design system (tokens, curves/easing, durations, choreography rules).
Improve product comprehension with motion that communicates hierarchy, cause/effect, and status (errors, success, progress, latency).
Use research and data to evaluate motion effectiveness (comprehension, conversion, time-to-complete, error reduction).
Mentor designers and up-level motion craft across the team via reviews, critiques, and workshops.
Collaborate with Brand/Marketing when needed to ensure motion feels cohesive across product and storytelling surfaces.

Requirements

3-5 years of product design experience, with strong motion design emphasis in shipped digital products.
A portfolio showcasing interaction design + motion craft with clear problem framing, process, and outcomes.
Expert understanding of timing, easing, choreography, and narrative flow for UI motion.
Strong systems thinking: ability to create scalable patterns rather than one-off animations.
Deep collaboration skills with engineering; comfort discussing implementation constraints (performance, platform behaviors, rendering).
Fluency in accessibility and inclusive design, including reduced motion strategies and motion-sensitivity considerations.
Excellent communication: you can explain why motion choices matter and align stakeholders around tradeoffs.
Experience working across web and/or mobile platforms (iOS/Android) in cross-functional teams.
