We embrace a flexible hybrid model with on-site time in our San Francisco or New York City offices, three days per week, enabling impactful, independent work across projects and teams.

Qualifications

• 5–7+ years of experience as a Motion Designer with a portfolio showing you can execute independently across a range of formats and complexity, ideally including brand or campaign work.
• Strong proficiency with After Effects, Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Experience with Rive is not required, though we'd love someone excited to learn it, as it is our tool used for motion and interactivity in product
• Working knowledge of 3D tools like Cinema 4D or Spline is a plus
• Experience with UI/UX motion is a plus
• Strong brand judgment, comfortable making creative calls independently and helping partners understand the reasoning behind them
• A track record of managing your own projects end to end, including anticipating production needs and prioritizing under pressure
• A collaborative, solutions-first approach: you work through obstacles proactively and bring options, not just problems

Responsibilities

• Concept and develop our motion design language and a visual approach that feels cohesive and distinct to our brand ethos
• Contribute to and help evolve our motion systems and templates that flex across marketing and product experiences, executing independently with minimal direction
• Explore how AI tools can help scale consistent, high-quality motion execution as demand grows
• Generate multiple strong creative directions from a brief and make the case for the strongest one
• Apply strong brand judgment across touchpoints, flagging inconsistencies and helping partners maintain quality without needing to reference guidelines at every step
• Manage your own projects end-to-end, anticipating production needs and prioritizing based on business impact rather than whatever's loudest
• Partner with creative directors, designers, copywriters, and product teams, representing creative thinking clearly to non-creative collaborators across the company
