About this role
The kind of Motion Graphics & Animation Specialist we're looking for:
You bring stories to life through motion, blending design, animation, video, and sound into something that actually holds attention. You've got 2–5 years in motion graphics, animation, or post-production at a creative agency or production studio, and you know how to take a script or brief and turn it into a sequence that feels cinematic, not just technically correct.
You're equally comfortable in After Effects building 2D sequences and cutting footage in Premiere, and you move fluidly between sleek corporate animation and bolder, more experimental work depending on what the brief actually calls for.
What you'll do
Conceptualize, design, and produce 2D and 3D motion graphics, animations, and visual effects for video campaigns, brand assets, and social media
Translate creative briefs and scripts into dynamic, emotive animated sequences
Blend live-action footage with animation, motion graphics, VFX, and sound into polished, cinematic experiences
Use After Effects, Premiere Pro, and related tools to edit, composite, and build high-end animated sequences
Partner with internal teams and clients to brainstorm concepts and refine storyboards
Keep work standards-compliant on file organization, colour profiles, rendering, and delivery across platforms
Take notes from creatives and clients and turn them into real solutions, not just revisions
What this role is not
This isn't a role where you're handed a finished storyboard and just executing frame by frame, you're expected to bring creative judgment to how a sequence actually comes together. And it's not a generalist video editing job, motion and animation are the core craft here.
What you bring
2–5 years in motion graphics, animation, or post-production at a creative agency or production studio
Advanced proficiency with After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator; strong VFX, compositing, and animation workflow experience. Final Cut Pro and CapCut knowledge is a plus
Strong compositional instincts that unify typography, colour, and shape through motion
Deep understanding of animation principles, video formats, codecs, and colour spaces/profiles
A strong body of work showing advanced animation, motion graphics, and storytelling range
Creative versatility across styles, from sleek corporate to bold and experimental
