Job description

At Qualtrics, we create software the world’s best brands use to deliver exceptional frontline experiences, build high-performing teams, and design products people love. But we are more than a platform—we are the creators and stewards of the Experience Management category serving over 18K clients globally.

When you join one of our teams, you’ll be part of a nimble group that’s empowered to set aggressive goals and move fast to achieve them. Strategic risks are encouraged and complex problems are solved together, by passing the mic and iterating until the best solution comes to light. You won’t have to look to find growth opportunities—ready or not, they’ll find you. From retail to government to healthcare, we’re on a mission to bring humanity, connection, and empathy back to business. Join over 5,000 people across the globe who think that’s work worth doing.

Why We Have This Role

At Qualtrics, video and dynamic visual storytelling play a pivotal role in capturing attention and communicating our brand's mission. We are looking for a Motion Graphics Specialist to bring static designs to life and craft engaging animated experiences across digital, campaign, and event channels. Partnering closely with video editors, producers, and brand strategists, you will shape the visual rhythm and polish of our visual content. In this role, your work will directly elevate how customers, partners, and employees connect with our brand narrative globally.

How You’ll Find Success

• Dual-Discipline Craft: Exceptional skills in both motion graphics and static graphic design principles (typography, layout, color theory, pacing, and timing).
• Core Technical Mastery: Deep fluency in Adobe Creative Cloud (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop), Figma, and Frame.io.
• Visual Storytelling: Ability to translate complex or abstract concepts into compelling storyboards, animatics, style frames, and final animations.
• Agile Execution: Strong time management skills to organize project queues, prioritize multiple requests, and meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Collaborative Mindset: An open, positive approach to receiving feedback, iterating, and working alongside editors, producers, and directors.
• Systemic Thinking: A drive to build and evolve reusable motion templates and design systems to maintain visual quality at scale.

How You’ll Grow

• Expand your technical capabilities by exploring and integrating 3D animation tools like Cinema 4D or Blender into global campaign deliverables.
• Influence brand evolution by building, maintaining, and scaling global motion design systems used across the broader creative organization.
• Sharpen your strategic creative skills by participating in early-stage concept creation and creative direction alongside senior video producers and strategists.

Things You’ll Do

• Elevate video narrative impact by designing and animating lower thirds, title cards, kinetic typography, animated logos, transitions, and explainer sequences.
• Maximize content reach by adapting graphics and animations across multiple aspect ratios and formats for social, web, and event platforms.
• Scale creative consistency by developing, maintaining, and evolving motion graphics templates and design systems aligned with Qualtrics brand guidelines.
• Drive cross-functional alignment by producing storyboards, animatics, thumbnails, key art, and style frames during early production phases.
• Maintain production hygiene by managing asset libraries, maintaining software/project files, and troubleshooting dual-platform systems (PC + Mac).
• Push creative boundaries by researching emerging trends in motion design and recommending software or workflow enhancements to the team.

What We’re Looking For On Your Resume

• A curated portfolio or demo reel demonstrating strong capabilities in both motion design (timing, easing, keyframing) and static graphic layout.
• Demonstrated experience creating motion assets within an agency, studio, or corporate in-house creative environment.
• Deep hands‑on proficiency with Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, and Frame.io.
• Proven ability to self‑manage timelines, organize project queues, and collaborate effectively with video editors and producers.
• Exposure to 3D motion design tools (Cinema 4D/Blender) or experience designing for social‑first vertical and square formats is a plus.

What You Should Know About This Team

• Growth‑focused culture valuing curiosity, high integrity, and team collaboration.
• A tight‑knit, high‑performing team dedicated to breaking new ground in Experience Management.
• Culture of high ownership and performance.

Our Team’s Favorite Perks And Benefits

• 100% merit‑based promotions, driven by results and impact rather than politics or tenure.
• Flexible hybrid work environment.
• Catered lunches, quarterly team socials, winter and summer parties, and extensive Qualtrics swag.
• Private health insurance, annual Qualtrics Experience Bonus, wellness stipend to support your personal well‑being and growth.
