You’re a motion specialist with a strong portfolio demonstrating how you use movement to build brands, tell stories and create memorable experiences. You understand that great motion is not simply about making things move, it is about expressing a brand’s personality, creating emotion and making ideas more powerful.
You have an expert understanding of animation principles, composition, typography, editing, pacing and storytelling. You can move comfortably between bold, energetic animation and more refined, cinematic brand expression, adapting your approach to suit different audiences, platforms and visual styles.
You’ll have significant experience working as a Motion Designer within a leading branding, design, advertising or creative agency, alongside a strong portfolio of motion identity, animation, film, digital, social or campaign work. You’ll have experience leading motion design projects and contributing to the creative direction of wider brand programmes, with a strong understanding of how motion can extend and amplify brand identities across multiple touch-points.
You’ll be highly proficient in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator, with strong video editing and moving-image storytelling skills. You’ll be comfortable presenting work and communicating creative rationale to clients and senior stakeholders, as well as collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and directing or briefing external production partners where required.
We’re looking for someone who is interested in mentoring others and helping to develop motion capability within a studio. Experience with generative AI workflows for motion and creative exploration would be valuable, while familiarity with tools such as Cavalry would be an advantage.
Above all, you’ll bring energy, originality, curiosity and a deep understanding of how motion and film can make brands more distinctive, engaging and culturally relevant. You’ll be confident working independently, while also knowing when to collaborate, challenge ideas and bring others into the process.
