Descrição da oferta de emprego

Iconic is a creative agency that specialises in digital branded content with a focus on film production. Our strengths include original concept development, scripting, storyboarding, and the ability to facilitate full-service production. Our in-house post-production team includes editors, animators, and designers who work closely across every stage of the process to deliver premium, tailored content.

We’re looking for a mid-level Motion Designer to join the team. The core of the role is motion graphics - designing and animating smart, clean visuals that elevate the final output. But it’s not just about standalone animation - it’s also about using After Effects to bring more to our edits: enhanced transitions, title systems, and animated elements that give the work shape and clarity.

You’ll be expected to take direction, move quickly, and push things where they need pushing. We’re looking for someone who’s always learning, open to testing new workflows, and curious about where the tools are heading - especially with AI reshaping creative work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and animate motion graphics in After Effects
• Work with Illustrator files provided by designers
• Enhance edited content with animated titles, elements and transitions
• Collaborate with editors to add polish and visual structure
• Maintain clean project files and versioning
• Participate in reviews and implement feedback efficiently

Requirements:

• 3+ years of professional experience in motion design
• Strong After Effects skills - animation, expressions, layout, typography
• Comfortable working with Illustrator files and vector assets
• Sharp eye for design, pace, and visual clarity
• Able to work across different formats and specs
• Good instincts for where motion can support narrative
• Proactive about learning and evolving with new tools and workflows
• Interested in how AI is changing the post-production process

Nice to Have:

• Experience with 3D software (Cinema 4D, Blender, etc)
• Basic editing skills in Premiere Pro
• Familiarity with online, conforming, and final delivery workflows
• Experience in compositing or VFX

At Iconic, we back people who think clearly, work fast, and care about the details. If you're looking to do sharp, thoughtful work in a team that values craft and improvement, we’d like to hear from you.
