This role is part of our Global Studios team. We create emotive yet conversion-focused ideas, products and campaigns at scale and speed. Our specialty is hyper-personalised, digital communications that change perceptions, shape new behaviours, and shift market share for our clients.

This role is dedicated exclusively to Creative Automation—using technology to produce creative assets at scale. You will be designing and animating templates in Adobe After Effects that integrate with Lightspeed, our proprietary automation engine, to render the assets at scale.

• Take pride in your work and have excellent project file ‘housekeeping’ skills — name your layers!

• Be an ambassador of the entire creative automation team.

WHAT YOU BRING:

• Excellent written and verbal English

• A portfolio demonstrating creative projects with a clear technical aspect.

• A deep understanding of Adobe After Effects.

• Comfortable writing and using expressions in After Effects.

• Knowledge of the basic principles of JavaScript.

• A keen interest in and knowledge of third party scripts, plugins and extensions for Adobe software.

• Proactive and self-motivated with strong initiative.

• Eager to learn and develop new and existing skills.

• Meticulous attention to detail.

• Independent and confident, but works well with others.

• Process-driven and a great communicator.

WE OFFER

• We enjoy spending time together, working closely with other local colleagues, and getting to know one another. You’re more than welcome and we will encourage you to work from one of our Buenos Aires offices (Villa Crespo or Mar del Plata) as often as you’d like.

• Premium healthcare through OSDE for the employee and their immediate family members

• Prepaid card with a monthly allowance for grocery purchases
