About us

We are an award-winning branding studio working across a variety of sectors and disciplines. We believe that any organisation can look good and have impact in the world around them - whether they are an up-and-coming tech company, an eclectic music venue or even a 200 year old church in Hackney!

Currently, we are a tight knit, highly collaborative team consisting of two creative directors, one account director, one account manager and two designers. This is a very exciting time to join as we continue to grow. We split the week in two working from home on Wednesdays.

We are looking for:

• Keen learner: You’re proactive, curious, and always eager to expand your skillset. You're always looking to experiment with different processes and tools. You see each project as an opportunity to try something new.
• Team player: Collaboration comes naturally to you. You value diverse perspectives, thrive in team settings, and are skilled at giving and receiving constructive feedback.
• Positive attitude: You approach challenges with enthusiasm and a solutions-oriented mindset, inspiring positivity in those around you.
• Attention to Detail: You leave no stone unturned, ensuring that your work is thorough, precise, and reliable.
• Design Lover: You’re passionate about design and creativity, with a genuine interest in shaping innovative, meaningful work.
• Culture Builder: You contribute to OMSE’s unique culture, championing a supportive and inspiring work environment. Whether it’s organising team outings, fostering connections, or cultivating an atmosphere of creativity, you lead by example every day.

About the role:

• Lead motion design from concept through to final delivery across branding, digital, and campaign projects.
• Create expressive, considered 2D animations using After Effects and/or Cavalry to bring brand identities to life.
• Develop motion languages and animation principles as part of comprehensive brand systems.
• Collaborate closely with the design team to ensure motion and static work feel cohesive and intentional.
• Push for ambition and experimentation on every project, finding the most interesting version of every brief.
• Explore and integrate new tools and technologies, including AI, to elevate the quality and efficiency of the work.
• Present motion work confidently to clients, articulating creative decisions with clarity.
• Stay current with trends in motion, design, and technology. And bring what you find back into the studio.
• Contribute to a culture of sharing, curiosity, and creative generosity across the team.
