Motion Graphics Designer

About the role

We are looking for a Motion Designer who lives on social media and has a real taste for reels. Motion design is at the core of this role, turning ideas about AI search into short videos, reels and animated visuals that make people stop scrolling. You will also manage the posting calendar to ensure a steady flow of content each week.

Key responsibilities

• Create motion graphics and animated explainers such as kinetic typography, animated charts, product and screen walkthroughs.
• Edit short‑form videos (reels, shorts, LinkedIn videos) from raw footage, screen recordings and talking‑head clips.
• Design static visuals for social media including carousels, post graphics, thumbnails and cover images.
• Manage the social media calendar and maintain a consistent publishing cadence across channels.
• Track performance metrics (views, watch time, saves, shares) and use insights to improve future content.
• Maintain brand consistency and build reusable templates for faster production.
• Spot emerging formats and trends early and adapt them to the brand’s voice.

Required profile

• Strong motion design skills with the ability to make type, shapes and footage move with intent.
• Proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, or equivalent tools such as DaVinci Resolve or CapCut.
• Sharp eye for typography, pacing, colour and composition.
• Instinct for creating compelling hooks that capture attention in the first seconds of a reel.
• Understanding of what performs on each social platform.
• Clear written and spoken English and comfort with fast feedback loops.
• Ability to own a piece from brief through to published post.
