• Create brand reveal videos and explainer videos that communicate ideas effectively while remaining consistent with established brand identities.

• Develop animated marketing assets for websites, social media channels, and case studies to showcase creative work and communicate project value.

• Contribute motion design assets to client projects, applying and extending existing brand systems in collaboration with branding and UI designers.

• Translate creative briefs and storyboards into finished animations, maintaining strong visual storytelling, timing, pacing, and typography.

• Collaborate with designers, strategists, and project leads throughout the creative process, incorporating feedback and refining deliverables to meet project objectives.

• Manage multiple projects and deliverables simultaneously, maintaining clear communication, tracking progress, and consistently meeting deadlines.

• Ensure a high standard of creative quality and technical execution across different formats, platforms, and delivery requirements.

Requirements:

• At least three years of professional motion design experience, ideally within an agency, technology company, or freelance environment.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating motion design expertise, particularly in animated product interfaces, UI walkthroughs, brand reveal videos, and explainer content.

• Proven ability to transform briefs, design files, and storyboards into polished, engaging animations from concept through final export.

• Excellent understanding of motion principles, including timing, pacing, transitions, typography, and visual storytelling.

• Proficiency in Adobe After Effects and the ability to work confidently with Figma files.

• Familiarity with Adobe Illustrator and Premiere Pro or comparable video editing software.

• Experience adapting animations to different formats and platforms while maintaining visual consistency and production quality.

• Strong understanding of brand identity and the ability to create animations that reflect established visual systems rather than focusing solely on aesthetics.

• Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks, manage several deliverables simultaneously, and meet deadlines independently.

• A proactive, autonomous approach to work, with a strong sense of ownership, attention to detail, and commitment to high-quality output.

• Strong written and verbal English skills, enabling effective collaboration with international colleagues and clients.

• Fully remote working arrangement, with location flexibility across Europe and time-zone alignment with the team.

• Full-time, three-month freelance engagement offering focused project experience and opportunities to expand your creative portfolio.

• Opportunity to work on a diverse range of digital products, brand identities, marketing campaigns, and client case studies.

• Collaboration with an international team of designers, strategists, and digital specialists.

• Creative ownership and autonomy, with opportunities to contribute ideas and shape the quality of visual storytelling.
