Job description

We're Hiring an Exceptional Motion Designer

Join our team behind top podcasts: The Diary of a CEO (10M+), Lewis Howes (4M+), Ali Abdaal (5M+).

You’ll be bringing our podcast visuals to life. Titles, lower thirds, branded motion templates, intro sequences, and more. This is not about flashy animation for the sake of it. It’s about elegance, clarity, and story-first design.

Here’s the vibe
Think editorial-inspired, slick, premium motion. Clean typography, subtle transitions, and layouts that add layers to the story.

What You'll Be Doing

• Animating podcast intros, titles, and transitions
• Creating lower-thirds, logo reveals, name IDs
• Developing reusable After Effects templates
• Collaborating closely with editors and designers
• Matching visual language across series and platforms
• Bringing subtle movement to editorial layouts and static assets

You Should Have

• Strong eye for type, layout, and pacing
• Excellent command of After Effects (templates, expressions a plus)
• Experience working with podcast, YouTube, or doc-style content
• Ability to take layered design files and animate them cleanly
• Understanding of subtle, design-forward animation styles

Bonus Points

• Experience designing/animating in Vox, NYT, or Netflix-like styles
• Experience building reusable motion systems (MOGRTs)
• Sound design or audio-reactive animation knowledge
• Interest in AI tools

Let’s make motion that feels as good as it looks.
