Core Responsibilities
- Brand and Craft Excellence: Act as a champion for our brand, extending and maintaining its visual identity, design principles, and systems, including essential motion elements.

- System Alignment: Ensure cohesive experiences across 2D, 3D, motion, and product interfaces by adhering to established brand and design systems.
- Project Ownership: Manage end-to-end projects, from interpreting initial briefs and developing concepts through to final polish and delivery across multiple channels.

- AI Integration: Thoughtfully utilize AI-enabled tools (e.g., Pencil Pro) for exploration and generating variants, ensuring the final, high-quality output is on-brand. Use AI to enhance craft, not replace it.
- Technical Contribution: Contribute basic compositing, lighting, and rendering as necessary to guarantee high-quality, production-ready final outputs.
- Trend Awareness: Stay current with emerging trends in design, animation, AI, and creative technology, proactively introducing new ideas and techniques to the team.
You will bring:
- Experience: 5+ years of experience as a visual designer, digital designer, or similar role in a creative agency, in-house studio, or product/marketing team. Experience with animation and motion design is highly desirable.
- Portfolio: A strong portfolio or showreel showcasing high-quality design work across campaigns, product storytelling, social content, brand films, or motion graphics.
- Design Fundamentals: A solid understanding of design fundamentals, including timing, pacing, and visual storytelling.
- Craft & Detail: A strong eye for typography, layout, hierarchy, and composition, with meticulous attention to detail in spacing, grids, and systems.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud. Comfort working in Google Slides/Keynote.
- Collaboration: Comfort working within established pipelines and collaborating closely with designers, modelers, developers, and other creatives.
- Feedback & Iteration: The ability to openly receive feedback, iterate quickly, and collaborate constructively, even when differing opinions arise.
- Mindset: A positive, curious mindset, keen attention to detail, and a genuine interest in contemporary motion design and animation trends.
- Adaptability: A willingness to learn and experiment with emerging formats and technologies, such as real-time engines or interactive motion.
- Global Teamwork: Comfort working within a global, distributed team, effectively balancing multiple stakeholders and deadlines.
- Communication: Clear communication skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions and respond constructively to feedback.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in B2B or fintech, or with complex digital products, with a proven ability to make them feel simple and aspirational.
- Familiarity with motion design or the ability to effectively collaborate with motion designers (e.g., storyboards, asset prep, simple animations).
- Exposure to AI-powered creative tools (e.g., image generation, layout, or copy assistants) and an interest in leveraging them to increase quality and speed.
- Experience working with or within in-house studios or brand/visual design teams alongside marketing functions.
