Summary

Our client, a leading AI research and technology company, is looking to hire a Motion Designer in a remote capacity (PST hours preferred).

Pay Rate Range: $100/hr. to $135/hr. on w2, depending on experience

Responsibilities:
Work Type: Remote (PST hours preferred)
Duration: 6 months with potential to extend
Travel: Occasional travel for meetings and shoots preferred
Portfolio / Work Samples: Required
Interview Process: 2–3 rounds
We’re looking for a Motion Designer to anchor the visual motion language of enterprise video work. Across customer story films, product demos and how-tos, recurring interview series, event sizzles, and paid social cutdowns, video is how enterprise audiences see what’s possible. Most of this work is currently built bespoke, piece by piece. The opportunity in this role is to design the system underneath — and then build the tooling that lets editors and partners ship more, faster, without the work drifting apart.
This role is ideal for someone deeply fluent in modern motion design platforms and comfortable leveraging AI tools to streamline and automate workflows where appropriate. We’re drawn to creatives with a warm, human-centered aesthetic and a strong point of view — especially those inspired by artful, unexpected, mission-driven brands rather than traditional corporate or B2B visuals.
You’ll work closely with live-action video leads, in-house editors, and external production and animation partners. The work spans long-form films and short, kinetic, social-first cutdowns, covering everything from refined brand storytelling to high-volume templated output.
What You’ll Do

Design and build a scalable motion design system for enterprise video across customer stories, product demos, recurring interview series, and paid social
Define the visual language for titles, lower thirds, supers, end cards, and UI motion
Create reusable After Effects templates, presets, and project files that can be used consistently by in-house editors and external vendors
Develop motion treatments for data, diagrams, and technical concepts in a way that makes complex ideas clear and engaging
Partner with video leads on shoots and edits
Brief, art-direct, and review work from external motion designers and animation studios
Ensure consistency across multiple formats including:
- LinkedIn 1:1 cutdowns
- 9:16 social content
- 16:9 event and online video assets
Build lightweight templates that enable high-volume production without sacrificing quality or craft
Explore and leverage AI-assisted creative workflows and automation tools where appropriate

Requirements:

What We’re Looking For

10+ years of experience in motion design for brand, product, editorial, or enterprise content
Portfolio demonstrating at least one end-to-end motion system — not just standalone animations
Deep expertise in After Effects and strong collaboration workflows with Premiere editors
Strong systems mindset with experience creating templates, presets, naming conventions, and scalable toolkits
Excellent typography, composition, and visual storytelling skills
Experience simplifying technical, product, or data-driven concepts through motion design
Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with editors, producers, and external creative partners
Strong taste level with the ability to balance polished brand aesthetics and high-volume production needs
Comfortable working in fast-paced, evolving creative environments

Nice to Have

Experience in broadcast, SaaS, enterprise tech, or B2B environments
Familiarity with AI-powered creative and automation tools
Sound design literacy and understanding of audio/motion integration
Experience with paid social formats, event visuals, and online video campaigns
Background partnering with live-action production teams on customer stories, interviews, or product-focused content

Additional Notes

Remote role with preference for candidates comfortable working PST hours
Candidates open to occasional travel for shoots and meetings are highly preferred
Portfolio/work samples are required for consideration
