Senior Motion Designer

Serval

Senior Motion Designer As a Senior Motion Designer, you'll lead the creative vision and hands-on execution of motion across product and brand, bringing ideas to life through compelling 2D and 3D animation across UI/UX experiences, marketing campaigns, brand storytelling, social content, promos, and more. You'll drive projects end-to-end — from concept, storyboarding, and styleframes to animatics and final delivery — while establishing scalable motion systems, templates, and guidelines that ensure consistency across teams. Collaborating closely with product designers, engineers, and marketing partners, you'll craft motion that enhances user experience and strengthens brand identity, managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment while upholding high creative and technical standards. What You'll Do Lead the creation of high-quality motion graphics, animations, and graphic video content across a variety of media: product UI/UX, marketing campaigns, brand storytelling, social content, promos, trailers, and more. Work hands-on — from storyboarding and styleframes to animatics and final motion design delivery. You'll bring ideas to life, using both 2D and 3D techniques. Establish, evolve, and maintain motion design guidelines, templates, and toolkits that can scale across different teams and projects. (e.g. for product UI, brand campaigns, social, etc.) Collaborate cross-functionally with product designers, UI/UX teams, engineers, marketing, and other creatives to ensure motion supports both user experience and brand objectives. Manage multiple projects — scoping, scheduling, and delivering motion work on time, while maintaining high creative and technical standards. What You'll Need 7+ years of professional experience in motion graphics and animation work. This should include both product-facing and campaign/marketing work. Strong portfolio that demonstrates a range of expressive motion design work: brand storytelling, marketing/campaign content, product UI/UX animations, social/digital content, etc. Deep understanding of animation fundamentals: timing, spacing, anticipation, composition, visual rhythm, and design sensibility. Expert proficiency in industry-standard tools: e.g., Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, and preferably experience in Figma, Cinema 4D, or Blender. Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment; respond to feedback; iterate quickly; and manage multiple deliverables under deadlines. Nice to Have Experience developing or maintaining motion systems / design toolkits / templates for scalability across projects. Background in both motion for product (UI/UX) and motion for brand/marketing/advertising. Graphic design fluency. Comfortable with layout, hierarchy, and type sufficient to build and adapt visual assets directly. Just as importantly, good instincts for when motion adds clarity or emotion, and when a well-composed still is the stronger choice. Comfort working across 2D and 3D motion, and familiarity with compositing, post-production, and optimization for different platforms (web, mobile, social, broadcast, etc.) Experience mentoring or leading a small team of designers/animators, providing creative guidance and reviewing work. What We Offer Impact : Be a key player in shaping the success of our product and company. Growth : Build a fundamentally new AI product offering with the support of our experienced team and investors. Grow rapidly with the company. Culture : Join a culture that values innovation, ownership, accountability, and fun. Serval
