ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for a freelance Motion Designer to help bring our clients' biggest ideas to life in motion. This is a project-based engagement — fully remote, with the flexibility to scale hours up or down as project needs shift.

You'll work on launch videos, commercials, product explainers, social content, and brand campaigns for our roster of tech clients. The work spans 2D, UI, typography, compositing, and edit-driven animation — sometimes a polished hero sequence for a product launch, sometimes a fast-turn social cutdown, often both in the same week.

You'll partner closely with our producers, editors, designers, and directors, taking the company direction from our the company team and contributing your own ideas as projects develop. You'll own your work from concept through final delivery, iterate quickly on feedback, and bring real craft to every frame regardless of timeline or scope.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving studio. We need someone with strong fundamentals, sharp visual instincts, and the appetite to push their work past the obvious version.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Design and animate motion work across launch videos, commercials, product explainers, social content, and brand campaigns
  • Create work from concept through final delivery across 2D, UI, typography, compositing, and edit-driven animation
  • Translate the company direction and storyboards into compelling motion that hits the intended tone, pacing, and feel
  • Work closely with producers, editors, designers, and directors to bring ideas to life
  • Iterate quickly on feedback from the company leads and clients without losing the craft
  • Balance speed and quality while working across multiple projects and deadlines
  • Push work beyond the obvious. We value people with strong taste, attention to detail, and a desire to refine until the work feels exceptional

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 3 to 5 years of experience as a motion designer, ideally in a studio, agency, or in-house the company team
  • A strong reel that demonstrates range across product and UI motion, brand work, and edit-driven animation
  • Expert in After Effects; comfortable in Figma and DaVinci Resolve
  • Strong visual design fundamentals — type, layout, color, composition, timing
  • Real point of view on motion — easing, transitions, restraint — and the ability to talk through your decisions
  • Comfortable taking feedback and iterating quickly without losing momentum
  • Experience in studio, agency, or fast-moving startup environments
