Design Jobs Board

We’re looking for a mid-senior motion designer with the power to bring life into every scene file they open.

They’ll have a creative mind and experienced hands — someone with a blistering artistic vision and a thirst for making things move.

Applying their top-notch talent to a range of motion projects across the studio, with an expert knowledge of design and motion principles as well as a strong understanding of software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. And as a bonus they might even have some C4D and Cavalry skills in their locker too.
