Responsibilities
- Define and extend the brand's motion language (timing, easing, transitions, logo animation, typography in motion, and graphic behaviors) and document it so other teams can apply it correctly.
- Turn recurring motion work into repeatable, AI-assisted workflows: templates, tools, and generators that let marketing, product, and other teams produce on-brand motion without you in the room.
- Concept and produce motion end to end, from storyboards through final delivery, across launch films, product videos, social, paid, web, and out-of-home.
- Partner with product designers and engineers to bring brand motion into product surfaces, from interactions and transitions to onboarding and launch moments.
- Direct agencies, animers, and freelancers with clear briefs and candid feedback so the output meets the bar you'd set yourself.
- Partner with marketing, product, engineering, and leadership; bring a motion point of view to new surfaces as they appear, and present your thinking clearly to senior stakeholders.
- Move between projects quickly while holding a consistently high bar, and keep improving the process, not just the output.
Requirements
- 6+ years of motion design experience, in-house or at an agency or studio.
- Fluency in After Effects, Cinema 4D or Blender, Figma, and Adobe Creative Cloud.
- Experience in AI coding tools, especially Cursor. You can build your own tools, scripts, prototypes, and simple web pages instead of waiting on engineering.
- Hands-on experience with AI video and image generation tools as part of a real production workflow.
- A reel and portfolio that show both motion system work and shipped campaigns. Bonus if they include tools or workflows you built.
- Sharp instincts for timing, rhythm, typography in motion, and storytelling.
- Experience in animation workflows from conceptualization, storyboard design, to execution
- A systems mindset: you naturally turn one-off tasks into reusable processes and think about how creative work scales.
- Conviction in your design decisions and the ability to explain why they matter, to designers, marketers, and leadership alike.
- Self-directed, fast, and energized by variety and ambiguity.
Nice to have
- Experience building or relaunching a brand's motion identity at a fast-growing tech company.
- Experience with real-time or code-based motion, such as Rive, Lottie, or WebGL.
- 3D modeling, lighting, and rendering skills.
- Sound design sensibility, enough to work closely with audio partners.
- Experience leading agencies on large, multi-channel campaigns.
