Cinematic Motion Design Intern — Remote

ZOVU; Amsterdam; On-site; Full time

Job description

About ZOVU

ZOVU is a global online startup building the Operating System for the modern restaurant. We are on a mission to unify the fragmented hospitality industry. Our vision is simple: One OS that covers everything a restaurant needs—Point of Sale, Loyalty Systems, Reservations, Staff Planning, and a Customer App. We disrupt the industry by saying "No" to expensive monthly contracts. While competitors charge high SaaS fees, ZOVU operates on a partnership model: we charge strictly a transaction margin on sales. We only grow when our customers grow. We operate as a fully remote, global team, adding new features and growing rapidly. We are committed to making our hiring process inclusive. If you are ready to hustle and build something from the ground up, we want you on board.

The Role

We're looking for a visionary Motion Design & Video Production Intern to join our global team and become the founding creative force behind our brand. In this role, you will translate our software into stunning visual stories that capture the attention of restaurant owners worldwide. You will have total creative control to produce cinematic product teasers, sleek software animations, and high‑performing social media content. This is a fully remote role, allowing you to manage your own time, creative pipeline, and success while working directly with the founders to shape how the world sees ZOVU.

What Excites You

• Total Creative Freedom: You hate micro‑management and corporate red tape. You want a blank canvas to execute your boldest visual ideas.
• Building a Masterpiece Portfolio: You are looking for a real‑world project where your work is front‑and‑center, giving you a top‑tier showcase for your reel.
• Cinematic Storytelling: You love the challenge of making tech look beautiful, combining live‑action (or stock) cinematic shots with crisp motion graphics.
• Building the Future: You are excited to visually sell the vision of the "One OS" and help us introduce a disruptive pricing model to the market.
• Total Autonomy: You love working remotely and managing your own schedule.

What Excites Us

• A Cinematic Eye: You know what makes a video look premium. You understand pacing, lighting, color grading, and framing.
• Motion & Animation Chops: You are highly proficient in tools like Premiere Pro, After Effects, and potentially 3D software (Blender, Cinema 4D) to animate our UI and logo.
• Resilience: You understand startup life. Things move fast, features are added constantly, and you need to be adaptable.
• Self‑Discipline: Since this is 100% remote, you have the internal drive to work consistently, meet deadlines, and push your own creative limits.
• Social Media Savvy: You understand what kind of visual hooks stop people from scrolling on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Compensation

Academic Credit & Future Growth This is an unpaid internship, ideal for a student seeking academic credit or a junior creator looking to build a high‑impact portfolio with a global tech startup.

• The Trade‑Off: We provide the platform, the product, and total creative freedom. You build a portfolio that proves you can brand and market a software company from the ground up.
• Future Growth: As ZOVU grows and secures revenue, the person who helped build our brand visually will be the first in line for a full‑time, paid creative leadership role.

The Good Stuff!

• 100% Remote: Work from anywhere in the world. Digital nomad friendly.
• Startup Speed: No corporate bureaucracy. Have an idea for a video today? We publish it tomorrow.
• Career Acceleration: Join a fast‑growing startup on the ground floor.
• Be Part of the Vision: You aren't just an intern; you are the lens through which the world sees the "One OS" for the Horeca industry.

Life at ZOVU

We are a global online organization defined by our ambition. We don't need a fancy office to make an impact; we need passion. We make it happen, working with urgency and taking personal accountability. We act with integrity, always transparent about our pricing and our promise. If you are ready to revolutionize the Horeca industry with us, we want to hear from you.
