Job description

This is a contract Motion Graphics Designer position for a maker who cares as much about the idea as the execution. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 5 years, want $46,000 - $65,000, and crave a creative team that lets you lead.

• Anchor a chaotic creative launch around one image that means something
• Reverse-engineer a competitor's hit to understand the mechanic, not copy the look
• Time the reveal in a launch film so the logo lands earned, not slapped on
• Reconcile legal's caveats with a layout that still breathes
• Storyboard and direct photo, video, and content shoots end to end
• Distill a hour-long strategy deck into one image that survives the hallway test
• Tighten a loose deck until every slide earns its place in the contract pitch
• Cut a sixty-second story to fifteen without amputating the point

What You'll Bring

• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Comfort with contract arrangements and the rhythms of a gently-demanding workplace
• The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
• An eye for the heads-down-and-happy detail that separates fine from finished
• Proven leadership experience guiding mid-level-level initiatives
• Demonstrated knack for making the relentlessly curious feel manageable
