Art & Creative$170/hrFull-time

Design

  • Develop motion concepts end to end for marketing, brand, and product content, from concept development and storyboarding through final animation
  • Create animated brand assets such as logo reveals, title sequences, lower-thirds, transitions, and end cards
  • Produce short-form social animations and ad creatives, optimized for the formats and platforms each campaign requires
  • Bring the product to life through motion, including feature demos, UI animation, and product storytelling in partnership with the product team
  • Handle light video editing in support of your motion work, including timing adjustments, assembling provided footage, and basic sound sync
  • Prepare and deliver final exports in agreed formats, including source files where applicable
  • Partner closely with stakeholders across marketing, brand, and product to gather requirements, align on creative direction, and confirm delivery timelines

Qualifications

  • You work with full autonomy and can take a brief and own it end to end, from concept to final delivery, without hand-holding

  • You have a reel or portfolio that shows a high bar for craft across brand, social, and product motion
  • You are fluent in After Effects and comfortable working in Figma; bonus for tools like Rive, Lottie, Cinema 4D, and Premiere
  • You sweat the finish (typography, spacing, rhythm, and consistency) and know what makes motion feel effortless
  • You move fast and reliably deliver high-quality work on short timelines without sacrificing craft
  • You are a versatile generalist, equally comfortable on a sales-ready social cut and an in-product animation
  • You like to experiment with AI and new tools to work faster and push your craft further
  • You are a strong communicator who can articulate creative decisions and incorporate feedback to continuously improve the work

What You'll Bring

  • Real command of animation and core principles
  • A portfolio showcasing a high bar for craft across brand, social, and product motion
