Motion Designer, Experiential

Motion Designers

Brand Studio lays the foundations that help Stripe accelerate. We do this by creating, evolving, and maintaining Stripe's high-quality, versatile, and forward-looking brand design systems, experiences, and advertising campaigns. We sweat the details. We make it seem effortless. Motion is at the core of how we bring the brand to life—from live event stages to digital campaigns, motion design is our most expressive storytelling medium.

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

• Have 5+ years of relevant motion design experience for technical, brand-driven, or product-led organizations
• Expert command of motion design tools: After Effects, Cinema 4D (or Houdini), AI tools, and the Adobe Creative Cloud suite
• Strong portfolio demonstrating high-craft motion work—including brand identity systems, event titles, animated campaigns, and/or data-driven motion
• Familiarity with motion design systems and how to apply them consistently across contexts
• Deep understanding of animation principles: timing, easing, staging, anticipation, and how motion communicates meaning and brand character
• Exposure to designing for live event environments: LED walls, stage visuals, real-time rendering, and large-format displays
• Familiarity with real-time tools (e.g., Notch, TouchDesigner, Disguise) is a strong plus
• Proficiency with design collaboration tools (Figma, Keynote) and a systems-thinking approach to extending motion across shared patterns and behaviors
• Working knowledge of emerging motion and AI tools and how they fit into a professional production workflow
• Strong track record delivering high quality motion work independently, and in close collaboration with cross-functional partners
• Find a meaningful balance between optimizing for speed, quality, and doing challenging, interesting, frame-perfect work
• Are persuasive and humble in explaining your work, process, and decisions and crave feedback to help you design at your best
• Love working with other designers to help them learn and grow—and have them help you learn and grow
• Have excellent organization and presentation skills, and excel in written and verbal communication
• Highly detail-oriented, with a drive for perfection down to the last frame
• Are passionate about Stripe's mission, are dedicated to a user-first mindset, and have experience working with data and insights

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

The annual US base salary range for this role is $175,200 - $262,800. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
