Job description

Azyy Studio is a fully remote, full-service design and consulting agency specializing in branding, websites, digital product design, and advertising. We partner with clients ranging from startups to enterprise brands, delivering high-craft creative work through a lean, senior-level team.

We're hiring a Motion Designer to bring our work to life across brand, web, digital product, and advertising. This is a craft-forward role for someone who treats motion as a design discipline in its own right, with sharp instincts for timing, pacing, and storytelling. You'll partner with our designers from concept through delivery, animating everything from product UI and brand systems to social, campaigns, and the films that go into our case studies.

Key Responsibilities

Day to day, you'll move between projects at different stages, from product UI motion to brand campaigns to social. Motion is part of how we shape briefs from the start, not a polish step at the end. You'll own creative and execution across the work.

Lead motion work end to end across the disciplines we touch, from UI animation and brand films to social, web interactions, and campaign assets.

Work alongside brand and web designers to shape how motion lives across each project, from a single micro-interaction to a full campaign rollout.

Build motion guidelines and animation systems clients can extend on their own, giving each brand a consistent language for movement.

Partner with developers to make sure animations ship cleanly into live environments through After Effects, Rive, or Lottie.

Edit and post-produce video work end to end, including pacing, sound design, and color.

Sit in on creative concepting from the start of projects, bringing a motion-first perspective to how ideas come to life.

Present motion work to clients with confidence, walking them through the thinking behind timing, pacing, and direction.

Maintain organized project files, clean handoffs, and production-ready exports across platforms.

What We're Looking For

Experience: 4+ years in motion design, with meaningful time in an agency or client-facing environment. A strong reel showing range across brand, digital, and social work is required.

Creative Vision: A sharp design eye and a real feel for how motion shapes meaning, not just movement. Every frame is intentional.

Tool Proficiency: Deep command of After Effects and the Adobe Suite. Lottie, Rive, or Cavalry experience is a meaningful plus. Figma fluency for handoff is expected.

Range: Comfortable across formats and contexts, from a five-second loop to a longer brand film, and across 2D and 3D where it serves the project.

Multitasker: Comfortable juggling multiple clients and projects at different stages, supporting the team without losing momentum or quality.

Communication: Confident presenting and defending creative decisions, skilled at articulating the rationale behind timing, pacing, and direction. Open to feedback without losing the thread of the work.

Organization & Detail: Meticulous about file hygiene, comp organization, and handoff documentation. Your deliverables are ready to live in the real world.

AI Forward: AI tools are already a daily part of your motion workflow for ideation, generation, and production. We're not looking for someone we need to onboard to AI. We want someone who can sharpen our pipeline and bring new techniques to the table.

Ownership: Proactive, resourceful, and self-directed. You take responsibility for the full quality of the work and push it further before anyone has to ask.

Curiosity: You stay close to what's moving culture, study the work you admire, and treat each project as a chance to make the best thing you've made.

Nice to Have

3D Depth: Cinema 4D, Blender, or Houdini work, particularly for product viz, kinetic type, or abstract systems.

Editorial Skills: Premiere or DaVinci experience for longer-form pieces, case studies, and campaign edits.

Sound Sensibility: Comfort editing to music and working with sound design, or collaborating closely with audio partners.

Why Join Azyy?

• High-Caliber Work: Real projects for ambitious clients, alongside a senior team that cares deeply about craft.
• Remote-First: Work from anywhere in the US. We've been remote since day one and the systems are built for it.
• Variety: A brand ident one week, a product launch film the next. The range keeps the work sharp.
• Flexibility: Trust-based culture. We care about outcomes, not where or when the work happens.
• Founding-Era Role: Join Azyy at an inflection point. You'll help shape how motion lives across the studio and define the kind of work we become known for.
