Job description

About Hebbia

Hebbia is the AI platform for finance that generates alpha and drives upside. Founded in 2020 by George Sivulka and backed by Peter Thiel and Andreessen Horowitz, Hebbia powers investment decisions for BlackRock, KKR, Carlyle, Centerview, and 40% of the world's largest asset managers. Our flagship product, Matrix, delivers industry‑leading accuracy, speed, and transparency in AI‑driven analysis. It is trusted to help manage over $30 trillion in assets globally.

We deliver the intelligence that gives finance professionals a definitive edge. Our AI uncovers signals no human could see, surfaces hidden opportunities, and accelerates decisions with unmatched speed and conviction. We do not just streamline workflows; we transform how capital is deployed, how risk is managed, and how value is created across markets.

Hebbia is not a tool. Hebbia is the competitive advantage that drives performance, alpha, and market leadership.

Hebbia is building our in‑house creative studio, and we're looking to hire a founding motion designer.

Senior Motion Designer

As Senior Motion Designer, you will own motion as a core part of our brand system and product storytelling. You will set a high bar for craft, help define how Hebbia looks and moves, and ship work that positions Hebbia as a premium AI product for finance. You'll work closely with Arjun Mahesh, who leads design, and our founder George Sivulka.

What you'll do

• Own motion design end‑to‑end: concept, story, design, animation, delivery
• Create motion systems that extend our brand into product UI, marketing, and editorial content
• Design product marketing motion: launch videos, explainers, demos, social assets, and ads
• Partner with product design to bring interactions and prototypes to life (micro‑interactions, transitions, feature walkthroughs)
• Collaborate closely with brand, product, marketing, and leadership to align on narrative and execution
• Establish processes and standards for motion (tooling, templates, libraries, specs) so the team can scale output without losing quality

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of motion design experience (brand, product, or marketing), with senior‑level ownership
• A portfolio showing strong storytelling, timing, typography, composition, and polish
• Fluency in the modern motion stack (e.g., After Effects, Premiere, Figma, Illustrator) and a thoughtful approach to handoff and delivery
• Strong taste for brand and visual design, not just animation
• Comfort working scrappy and moving quickly, while still protecting quality
• Ability to scope projects, run lightweight sprints, and communicate clearly with cross‑functional partners
• Excited about AI and motivated by building for high‑stakes finance use cases

Nice to haves

• 3D (Cinema 4D, Blender), Rive, Lottie, or real‑time tooling
• Sound design and editorial instincts
• Experience translating a brand into product motion guidelines

Compensation

The salary range for this role is $120,000 to $170,000. This range may be inclusive of several career levels at Hebbia and will be narrowed during the interview process based on the candidate's experience and qualifications. Adjustments outside of this range may be considered for candidates whose qualifications significantly differ from those outlined in the job description.
