Senior Motion Designer (Project-Based)

Create high-end motion graphics for live events, web, video and digital applications

Develop concepts, look and style frames, storyboards and thumbnails that establish visual direction, sequence and timing

Design and animate 2D and 3D content ranging from hero creative to supporting graphics

Build flexible motion systems and editor toolkits including lower thirds, logo animations, transitions and related elements

Own assigned projects from concept through final delivery while managing multiple priorities and deadlines

Present creative ideas and work in progress to internal teams and clients

Collaborate closely with Creative Directors, Art Directors, Producers and editors throughout the creative process

Work within approved project schedules and budgets and communicate risks or needs early

Explore and apply current creative technologies and AI-assisted workflows where they improve the work

You are a senior motion designer who can take ownership without working as an island. You are equally comfortable shaping visual direction with a Creative Director or Art Director, developing style frames and motion systems, and getting deep into execution. You bring strong design judgment, communicate clearly about your work and influences, and can shift between high-profile creative and smaller supporting graphics without losing craft or momentum
