Motion Designer

Description

12–18 month contract, with strong potential for contract-to-hire.

The Worldwide Brand organization is seeking a Motion Designer to bring the brand to life through movement. This role focuses on executing high‑quality motion design across brand and marketing touchpoints while learning and applying established motion principles and systems. The ideal candidate will help stand up a repeatable, scalable motion graphic strategy.

This role sits at the intersection of brand, motion, and emerging AI‑driven workflows, and will play a key role in shaping how the brand shows up everywhere—from subtle motion in emails to external communications and major launch moments.

This is an individual contributor role centered on strong craft, reliable execution, and collaboration. You’ll work closely with Brand Designers and Creative Leadership to ensure motion is thoughtful, consistent, and aligned to the brand—leveraging modern creative tools, including AI, to enhance efficiency and exploration.

What you’ll do:

• Design and produce motion assets across brand and marketing channels (campaigns, social, launches, events, brand storytelling)
• Translate static brand designs into clear, expressive motion
• Apply existing motion principles, patterns, and guidelines consistently
• Collaborate early with Brand Designers to plan motion needs
• Create and adapt motion assets for different formats and platforms
• Incorporate feedback efficiently and iterate on work
• Use creative AI tools to accelerate ideation, streamline production workflows, and explore motion concepts responsibly
• Ensure motion work meets brand, quality, and accessibility standards
• Shape the brand’s motion language and help define how the future brand looks and feels through movement
• Create motion assets across a wide range of channels, including:
  • External communications
  • Email and subtle digital touchpoints
  • Social and brand moments with the same consistency and impact as flagship assets
• Develop plug‑and‑play motion components (e.g., gradients, transitions, system‑based elements) reusable across teams
• Translate static brand elements—iconography, illustration, color, and gradients—into motion
• Help establish and evolve motion guidelines, including parameters for consistent usage
• Contribute to building a long‑term motion strategy, not just one‑off assets
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., Runway, Shutterstock) responsibly and creatively within brand systems
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with brand, content, and creative partners
• Partner with global teams, including opportunities to collaborate with colleagues in China during major initiatives or launches

What you’ll own:

• Execution and quality of assigned motion work
• Timely delivery of production‑ready motion assets
• Consistent application of brand motion guidelines
• Responsible and effective use of AI tools within established brand standards
