We’re looking for a Senior Animator / Motion Designer who can make ideas move — literally. You’re a craft‑obsessed creator who can take a brief, visualize it, and bring it to life through stunning motion. You understand timing, rhythm, and how animation can turn complex ideas into emotional, unforgettable visuals.
This is a senior hands‑on role for someone who thrives in fast‑moving creative environments and can own the animation process end to end — from concept and motion design to editing and final polish.
You’ll collaborate closely with the Creative Manager / Creative Director to define the animation language of our venture launches and campaigns, helping shape stories that feel as real as they are bold.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Animation and motion design across multiple startups and campaign launches under Disrupt Labs.
- Create high quality 2D for product explainers, walkthroughs, launch films, ads, and social content.
- Bring concepts and scripts to life through expressive, emotionally resonant movement.
- Edit, composite, and polish motion sequences using After Effects, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve.
- Work with the Creative Manager/Director, designers, and copywriters to translate ideas into motion that tells a story.
- Use AI-powered creative tools (Runway, Luma, Kaiber, Seedance, Midjourney, Kling, ElevenLabs, etc) to enhance speed and creativity.
- Develop motion templates, animation systems, and style guides for consistent visual identity across ventures.
- Integrate 3D elements into motion design using Blender, Cinema 4D, or equivalent tools.
- Stay current on motion design and animation trends in tech, AI, and brand storytelling.
- (Bonus) Illustrate and storyboard ideas to help visualize narratives before animation begins.
- (Bonus) Design assets and visuals that complement animation direction and campaign look.
Who You Are:
- 5+ years of experience in animation, motion design, or creative production.
- A portfolio that showcases mastery in animation from pacing and timing to storytelling and polish.
- Expert in After Effects and Adobe Creative Suite, with strong compositing and editing skills.
- Working knowledge of 3D animation or motion integration (Blender, Cinema 4D, etc.).
- Strong understanding of animation principles — easing, anticipation, rhythm, and flow.
- Ability to visualize concepts through storyboards or sketches (preferred, not required).
- Familiar with AI creative tools (Runway, Pika, Kaiber, SORA, Midjourney, etc.) and open to exploring more.
- Detail‑obsessed and fast‑moving — you deliver with precision, but you also know when done is better than perfect.
- Collaborative, curious, and adaptable — you thrive in startup-style creative environments.
- Bonus Skills: Illustration, storyboard design, or concept visualization.
- Experience with sound design, audio editing, or motion-driven storytelling.
- Familiarity with Lottie or interactive motion graphics for web and product.
What We Offer:
- Competitive salary, bonuses, and growth opportunities.
- Access to a full AI creative stack — Runway, Pika, SeeDance, Kling, Dream Machine, and more.
- A creative playground where AI meets motion and story.
- The opportunity to animate brands, products, and campaigns for new startups across industries.
- A culture built on speed, imagination, and taste — not bureaucracy.
- The chance to define the visual rhythm of emerging ventures seen by global audiences. Ready to Bring Ideas to Life?
