The Role

Motion Designers at I/D.W work collaboratively with clients, internal designers, and production artists to create stand-alone animations and compelling high-quality videos. The role includes start-to-finish motion design, from storyboarding through to design, animation, and publication. The successful candidate will be a team player who enjoys working in a fast-paced creative and post-production environment with quick turn-arounds. We’re looking for a designer that lives for animation and visual effects who can work out of our Oakland studio at key moments including kick-off and review. This is a contract position, focused on specific creative projects.

Advanced knowledge of After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop and other design tools to aid in the creation and manipulation of assets are a must. In addition, we look for a deep understanding of design and typography—and a dedication to usability and user-centric design. Applications should demonstrate an ability to manage multiple projects and advance the work through multiple revisions, while maintaining attention to detail.
