We are looking for a Senior Motion Designer / Editor to join our team in a remote capacity. This role is for a motion-first creative—someone who leads with design, animation, and visual systems, and uses editing as a supporting skill rather than the core craft.
The ideal candidate is not a traditional film editor, but a Motion Designer who can edit: someone who brings strong design fundamentals, advanced After Effects skills, and a cinematic eye to elevate our content well beyond basic cuts. This is a senior-level role requiring significant professional experience in motion design for video.
Responsibilities
-
Design and execute high-end motion graphics, animations, and visual effects, primarily using After Effects.
-
Edit and finish a range of content including TV commercials, branded content, and instructional videos, with motion design driving the visual language.
-
Transform raw footage and creative concepts into polished, design-forward video pieces.
-
Develop and apply strong typography, color systems, and motion principles across projects.
-
Create animated graphics, titles, transitions, and composited scenes that enhance storytelling and brand clarity.
-
Collaborate closely with the Creative Director, Producer, DP, and other creatives to define visual direction and motion approach.
-
Maintain consistency in brand, style, and visual quality across all deliverables.
-
Adapt motion-led video content for multiple platforms and formats (broadcast, web, social).
-
Incorporate creative and technical feedback efficiently while preserving design integrity.
-
Manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing speed with high craft standards.
-
Oversee freelancers or additional motion/edit support as needed.
-
Organize and maintain project files, assets, and media libraries.
-
Perform final quality checks to ensure all motion, design, and editorial elements meet company standards.
Requirements
-
5+ years of professional experience in motion design for video (agency, studio, or equivalent).
-
A strong reel demonstrating advanced motion design, animation, and visual effects work (not just editing).
-
Expert-level proficiency in After Effects, including complex animations, compositing, and effects.
-
Solid editing skills in Adobe Premiere Pro.
-
Strong design fundamentals, including typography, color theory, layout, and visual hierarchy.
-
Experience designing motion graphics that support brand systems and storytelling.
-
Working knowledge of video formats, codecs, and delivery requirements.
-
Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
-
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, feedback-driven environment while managing multiple projects.
Nice to Have / Major Plus
-
3D experience using Cinema 4D and/or Blender.
-
Experience integrating 3D elements into After Effects workflows.
-
Color correction and finishing experience.
-
Sound design or audio-mixing knowledge.
-
A network of trusted motion designers or post-production freelancers.
