Semi Senior Motion Designer

Job Overview We are looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented Semi‑Senior Motion Designer who finds as much beauty in a perfectly organized project file as they do in a smooth animation. In this role, your primary mission is to act as the architect of our visual output. You won’t just be creating videos; you will be building the engines that allow our global campaigns to live across dozens of languages and formats with surgical precision. You are the bridge between high‑end design and massive‑scale execution. While you will develop original creative assets, your core focus is on the technical craft of localization, template architecture, and AI‑driven automation using the Google ecosystem. Core Responsibilities Master Template Architecture: Design and "bulletproof" complex After Effects templates. You will ensure that layouts, typography, and timings adapt intelligently to varying text lengths and localized content via Expressions and Essential Graphics. Precision Localization: Own the end‑to‑end technical rollout of global campaigns. You will ensure every regional variation is frame‑perfect, managing the nuances of different languages and cultural formats with an obsessive eye for detail. Workflow Automation: Champion the use of AI‑assisted tools to eliminate manual tasks. You will connect data feeds (Sheets/CSV) to creative templates to trigger high‑volume renders with minimal manual intervention. Asset Scaling & QA: Maintain rigorous organizational standards across massive asset libraries. You are the final line of defense, ensuring that every export—regardless of the quantity—meets our exact technical and brand specifications. Strategic Creative Development: Design the foundational "Hero" motion assets that serve as the blueprint for our automated systems, ensuring they are built from the ground up for scalability. Technical Mindset The Architect: You believe a project is only as good as its structure. You prioritize clean hierarchies, strict naming conventions, and scalable workflows. The Logic Specialist: You have a deep command of After Effects Expressions and scripting, using them to solve layout challenges before they occur. The Google Power‑User: You are comfortable navigating Google Workspace, and leveraging Gemini/AI tools to optimize creative production. Detail Obsessed: You are someone who naturally spots a 1‑pixel misalignment or a slight tracking inconsistency across 100+ localized banners. Experience & Qualifications 3 years of experience in an agency or fast‑paced in‑house creative team. A portfolio demonstrating high‑end motion work alongside examples of dynamic/programmatic creative projects. Proven track record of managing "Creative at Scale" (localizing content for multiple regions or AB testing). A "hacker" mindset—always looking for a way to automate a repetitive task.
