The role

A casino should feel alive. This role is how we do that. A brand campaign film, feature launch animation, in-product motion, and the 3D asset library that increasingly underpins how Casino looks everywhere.

You'll be fully integrated with the creative team, shaping ideas in motion from the moment a brief lands.

What you’ll do

• Design and animate motion for brand campaigns, feature launches, social, CRM and in-product promotions..

• Refine and apply Casino’s motion principles alongside the design team.
• Storyboard and pitch motion ideas early, shaping concepts while they’re still forming.
• Edit, grade and finish video, including versioning and cutdowns for every channel.
• Art-direct or work alongside external motion and 3D partners.
• Make sure disclaimer and responsible gaming messaging in video is legible, correctly timed and on screen long enough to be read comfortably.

What you bring

• 5+ years in motion design and 3D, with a reel that demonstrates both convincingly.
• Expert After Effects and Cinema 4D skills.
• Strong design fundamentals: type, composition and colour, alongside your animation craft.
• Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, and comfort working inside a design system.
• The ability to manage several deliverables and render deadlines at once, calmly.
• Good judgement about where AI video and image tools add real value.

Bonus points

• Sound design or audio finishing.
• Experience animating app or game UI.
