  • Bring stories to life by crafting visually engaging content that aligns with our brand identity and product vision.
  • Operate within established frameworks, while also pushing creative boundaries when opportunities arise.
  • Balance efficiency with craft, producing polished work on deadline while maintaining a high standard of quality.

You Have:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in motion design, or video post-production for commercial and corporate content.
  • A strong portfolio showcasing both marketing motion graphics and product UI motion work.
  • Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop), with a strong grasp of animation principles and visual storytelling.
  • Experience with design tools like Figma and an understanding of motion in the context of digital products.
  • Knowledge of 3D motion tools (Cinema 4D, Blender, Maya) is a plus.
  • A deep understanding of design principles, including typography, layout, and composition.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to present and advocate for motion concepts to various stakeholders.
