Senior Motion Designer - 6 month FTC

Description

You will join the Global Studios team at the company, a Growth Invention firm of more than 4,000 specialists across brand and media, experience, commerce, CRM, and technology and data. The company blends technology and marketing equally, works closely with partners, and moves quickly. Clients include Google, Lufthansa, Meta, eBay, and OpenAI. The company has been a certified B Corp and Climate Neutral since 2021.

The team creates emotive, conversion-focused ideas, products, and campaigns at scale. It specialises in hyper-personalised digital communication that shifts perceptions, changes behaviour, and grows market share for clients.

You will not be tied to one account. The team is nimble and moves to wherever work is needed, so you will switch between clients often. The role suits someone who handles variety well, decides quickly, solves problems smoothly, and works easily with different people.

You will create video, animation, and digital creative that communicates clients' goals, using motion to inform, teach, and engage audiences on social media, email, and on-site.
