Motion & AI Video Designer (Via, Remix, Citymapper)

What You'll Do

• Turn information into stories: Lead high-stakes projects, transforming complex information into clear, impactful motion narratives that drive outcomes for B2G or B2C audiences.
• Create Via’s first Motion Design System: Document and build a comprehensive library of motion patterns and kinetic behaviors that scale across our marketing and product touchpoints.
• Establish AI-native workflows: Use AI to elevate our creativity, scale our output and reduce production cycles.
• Bridge the gap between marketing and product by designing delightful micro-interactions and UX motion. Implement animations natively using tools like Lottie or Rive.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work with stakeholders (marketing, business, product) to manage and execute projects internally, or with video production partners.
• Mentorship and development: Support creative peers so they develop their understanding of motion and AI craft to elevate the entire design organization.

Who You Are

• A world-class motion and video designer with a portfolio demonstrating exceptional talent, regardless of your years of formal experience. You understand foundational animation principles (timing, physics, easing, weight).
• An expert in translating complex technical concepts (i.e., data science visualizations, technical product infrastructure flows, process optimization algorithms) into intuitive and impactful motion graphics.
• A big-picture thinker who can seamlessly move between high-level conceptualization and pixel-perfect execution, under tight deadlines.
• An expert at generative AI motion and keep refining your Claude / Gemini set-up.
• You know which model to pick to get the best out of a project (Nano Banana, Runway, Kling, Seedance).
• You have experimented with node-based generative workflow (ComfyUI, Krea.ai, Weave) and understand the best creative workflow for a given project.
• Proficient with After Effects and the Creative Suite, and interaction design tools like Rive.
• Understanding of 3d softwares like Cinema 4D/Blender is welcome.

What Catches Our Eye

• A great reel: We care about the quality of the output, not the number of years on your resume.
• Great stories: Move hearts & minds.
• AI workflows: We look for examples or case studies showing how you've integrated AI tools into a professional pipeline to drastically reduce production time while increasing visual impact.
• Systems over standalones: Evidence of having built and documented comprehensive Motion Design Systems.
• Motion into Interaction design: Real-world examples of your motion work living natively inside a digital product or app.
• An obsession with the details: An uncompromising eye for the invisible elements of motion: perfect easing curves, realistic physics, rhythmic timing, and weight.
