Medical Illustrator / Animator

About the role

We're building a dedicated team of formally trained medical illustrators and animators — a new function at BioRender that will serve as the company's subject matter experts on scientific visual communication. This team will have direct impact across product, marketing, sales, and education, and will own the quality standard for how science is represented across everything we build.

Responsibilities

• Motion graphics and animation for feature launches, product marketing, social media, and sales enablement
• Scientific figures, templates, and visual content that define BioRender's quality standard
• Live product demos for sales calls, conferences, and webinars — building figures in real time while articulating the design reasoning behind them
• Education content including tutorials, learning modules, and onboarding materials for researchers at every level
• Icon design and visual systems — creating new icons, defining style direction, and maintaining quality during library-wide updates
• Visual QA and scientific accuracy reviews across templates, AI-generated outputs, and library content
• Identifying patterns in how scientists build figures — breaking down what makes a great figure in each discipline so we can standardize and productize that knowledge, making it easier for every researcher to create work they're proud of
• Contributing to product decisions where illustration expertise matters — including how AI-generated scientific visuals should look and behave

Requirements

• Graduate degree in Medical Illustration, Biomedical Visualization, or a closely related program
• Strong foundation in anatomy, molecular biology, or a relevant scientific discipline
• Demonstrated skill in both static illustration and motion graphics / animation
• The ability to look at a scientific figure and know whether it tells the right story — not just whether it's technically correct
• A formed point of view on design decisions, with the ability to articulate your reasoning
• An instinct for how a scientist or researcher would perceive and use visual content — you think like the audience before the audience thinks
• Comfort with ambiguity — you can break down a problem you've never seen and find an approach without a playbook
• The ability to explain complex visual and scientific concepts to non-experts clearly and compellingly

Qualifications

• Comfort working remotely
• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects)
• Understanding of scientific visualization principles and best practices
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Strong organizational and project management skills

Skills
