The Senior Motion Designer is a key creative contributor responsible for crafting high-quality animation and motion graphics across a range of digital, brand, and content experiences. This role combines advanced visual storytelling with deep technical expertise, delivering animated content that enhances narrative, brand identity, and engagement across formats.

- An expert in Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, and optionally Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar 3D tools.
- A versatile motion graphics generalist capable of handling diverse animation styles.
- Grounded in strong typography and graphic design foundational skills.
- Highly experienced in creating compelling styleframes that establish visual direction.
- Skilled in typography, composition, layout, and rhythm as they relate to animation and motion graphics.
- Equipped with a solid grasp of animation principles (timing, easing, movement flow).
- Able to create styleframes and animate with precision and narrative purpose.
- Familiar with video editing workflows (Premiere, Final Cut) and sound sync.
- Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage timelines and priorities across multiple deliverables.
In This Role, You Will:
- Lead the design and animation of motion content across social, product, brand, and campaign assets.
- Translate static design and storyboards into compelling motion, ensuring strong pacing, clarity, and brand alignment.
- Collaborate with creative leads, editors, designers, and copywriters to shape cohesive narratives and visual systems.
- Develop styleframes, storyboards, and animation prototypes for internal and client-facing reviews.
- Participate in creative brainstorms, offering ideas and solutions for how motion can elevate storytelling.
- Ensure technical execution, including file management, render optimization, and output delivery.
- Mentor junior motion designers, giving guidance on technique, timing, and feedback integration.
- Stay current on trends and techniques to keep motion language and workflows fresh and efficient.
As For Experience, You Need:
- Bachelor's degree in Motion Design, Animation, Graphic Design, or equivalent experience.
- 5–7 years of professional motion design experience in an agency, in-house, or content studio setting.
- Portfolio that shows high-level animation skills, storytelling ability, and versatility across formats.
