Job summary

SpaceXSI is seeking a Senior Motion Designer to shape how our brand moves across campaigns and products. You will own motion systems from concept through final delivery, partnering with marketing, product, and engineering to scale creative work in a fast‑moving environment.

The role requires craft at a high level, an AI‑first mindset, and the ability to lead agencies and freelancers with clear briefs. Onsite work in New York or San Francisco is expected.

• Motion system: Define and document the brand's motion language (timing, easing, transitions, logo animation, typography in motion, and graphic behaviors) so other teams can apply it correctly.
• Workflows & toolkits: Turn recurring motion work into repeatable, AI‑assisted templates, tools, and generators that let marketing, product, and other teams produce on‑brand motion without you in the room.
• Campaigns: Concept and produce motion end to end, from storyboards through final delivery, across launch films, product videos, social, paid, web, and out-of-home
• Product motion: Partner with product designers and engineers to bring brand motion into product surfaces, from interactions and transitions to onboarding and launch moments
• Creative direction: Direct agencies, animators, and freelancers with clear briefs and candid feedback so the output meets the bar you'd set yourself
• Collaboration at speed: Partner with marketing, product, engineering, and leadership, present your thinking clearly to senior stakeholders, and move between projects quickly while keeping a high bar and improving the process
