Job description

Model ML is the AI workflow builder transforming how major financial institutions produce and validate client-ready work. Model ML converts complex, manual processes into fully automated AI systems that scale across global teams. In under a year, Model ML has become one of the fastest growing enterprise AI platforms worldwide and recently closed a $75 million Series A, one of the largest fintech Series A rounds ever. The round was backed by FT Partners, Y Combinator, LocalGlobe, QED, 13books, and other top global investors, bringing total funding to $90 million.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Senior Motion Designer who can turn complex ideas into clear, compelling visual stories. You’ll help shape the motion language of the brand, bring product capabilities to life, and create content that elevates everything from campaigns to customer education.

You’ll partner closely with the Creative Director, Senior Brand Designer, Copywriter, Product Design, and Marketing teams to concept and execute high-quality motion work across product demos, explainers, launches, social, and large-scale campaigns.

This role is ideal for someone who thinks beyond beautiful transitions and sees motion as a core storytelling tool for defining a category still being built.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

Design motion graphics, animations, and kinetic typography that elevate brand an dproduct storytelling.

Create high-quality video content for product demos, explainers, tutorials, and marketing campaigns.

Edit and assemble footage into cohesive sequences with effective pacing, structure, and narrative flow.

Concept and execute narrative-driven motion pieces for product launches and brand campaigns.

Collaborate with product design to shape in-product animations and micro-interactions.

Help define and maintain a scalable motion system that supports both brand and product experiences.

Partner with leadership, marketing, sales, and product to understand goals and translate them into clear visual narratives.

What You Can Expect:

You’ll be building from zero—no templates, no red tape.

You’ll collaborate directly with the CEO, Marketing Lead, and Sales team, influencing brand and visual identity at the highest level.

Priorities will shift. Deadlines will tighten. You’ll be uncomfortable—but constantly learning.

It will be the most creatively and intellectually demanding work of your career.

What We’re Looking For:

5 to 7 years of professional experience in motion design, animation, and video editing, ideally in a startup or B2B environment.

A strong portfolio showing compelling motion storytelling, polished animation craft, and an eye for design.

Proficiency with industry-standard tools including After Effects, Premiere Pro, Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite.

Ability to concept, storyboard, and execute both short-form and long-form motion pieces.

Comfort working autonomously in a fast-paced, highly ambiguous environment.

Curiosity and inspiration that come from sources far beyond tech.

Strong time management skills and the ability to work quickly without sacrificing quality.

An understanding of how motion can support product UX and narrative clarity.

(Nice to have) Experience with 3D workflows in Cinema4D or Blender.

(Nice to have) Familiarity with in-product motion tools like Lottie or Rive, plus opinions on their best use cases.

What We Offer:

Direct access to the founding team (2x YC-backed exits).

Competitive salary + meaningful equity.

A rare chance to define how enterprise AI should feel and function.

A culture of high trust, high intensity, and high impact.

To Close:

We are assembling a small group of people who want to build something iconic and are willing to push themselves to do it. If you are hungry, creative, and ready to make the defining career move of your life, we would love to meet you.
