Motion Graphics Designer

The role:

• Flexible contract position
• 100% remote collaboration
• Project rate: $18-$23k based on experience and capacity
• We anticipate this engagement to span 4-6 weeks of work, including concept development, storyboarding, animation, and revisions
• Potential path to permanent position for the right candidate

You are:

• A designer who thinks about pacing, rhythm, and how information unfolds over time
• Someone who can translate strategic concepts into compelling visual narratives, animations, and templates
• Skilled at finding the right visual language for different audiences and contexts
• Naturally curious about when motion clarifies and when restraint serves better
• Experienced in creating work that serves both immediate communication and sustained brand building
• Someone who understands the mechanics of animation—easing, layering, keyframes, transitions
• Thoughtful about how motion design reinforces broader creative systems

Daily focus:

• Create motion graphics that make complex ideas accessible and engaging
• Design sequences that guide attention and build progressive understanding
• Collaborate with strategists and designers to extend brand systems into motion
• Develop animations for digital products, social platforms, presentations, and campaigns
• Ensure motion work aligns with established visual identity while exploring new directions
• Adapt work efficiently across formats and platforms without losing core intent

Required capabilities:

• Strong portfolio demonstrating thoughtful motion design across contexts
• 4+ years of experience in motion graphics and visual design
• Mastery of After Effects, Premiere, and related Adobe Creative Suite tools
• Understanding of typography in motion, kinetic composition, and visual hierarchy
• Ability to work efficiently within brand systems while pushing creative boundaries
• Experience creating motion content for web, social, and multimedia presentations
• Clear communication about creative decisions and project rationale
• Comfort with evolving requirements and managing projects from concept through final delivery

Would help if you had:

• Experience with Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere, Cinema 4D and other animation tools
• Understanding of sound design and how audio shapes motion work
• Familiarity with emerging tools like Runway ML, SuperAGI Motion Suite, or AI-assisted workflows
• Experience designing for multiple platforms, horizontal and vertical formats
• Background in illustration, graphic design, or related visual disciplines
• Interest in how motion enhances product interfaces and user experience
• Experience working in interdisciplinary creative teams

We believe the most effective motion design emerges from genuine understanding of what needs to be communicated and why. If you approach animation as a tool for building clarity and belief rather than just adding visual interest, we should talk.
