Semi Senior Animator
Animator/2D Motion Designer
About the Role
You'll be a semi senior creative force on high-profile brand marketing campaigns spanning social content, hero video, motion graphics, and typographic animation. Operating within a dedicated client team, you'll own the animation process end-to-end — from concept and pre-production through final delivery — collaborating with creative directors, producers, illustrators, and animators across a global team.
What You'll Do
Own the full animation lifecycle — pre-production assessment, creative scoping, execution, and final delivery — across social assets, complex hero videos, and multi-platform campaign toolkits.
Lead early-stage creative ideation alongside art directors and creative leads, translating briefs and copy into high-quality motion work across formats, languages, and dimensions.
Build and optimize production templates that improve speed and consistency for the broader global animation team.
Maintain brand integrity across all deliverables — consistent across ad formats, platforms, and languages — while proactively flagging risks and unfeasible timelines before they become problems.
Champion and integrate generative AI tools into your workflow, staying ahead of market trends and helping the team adopt new techniques and software.
Present work and contribute to creative conversations with support from the craft director; collaborate with producers and cross-functional teams across multiple offices worldwide.
Support and mentor junior and semi-senior animators, actively sharing progress, problems, and creative solutions across the team.
What You Bring
3+ years of professional experience in motion design and 2D animation, with a portfolio demonstrating ownership across brand campaigns, social content, and hero video production.
Advanced proficiency in After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma — you know how to do the basics right, and when to break the rules for creative effect.
Hands-on experience with generative AI tools — Runway, MidJourney, Adobe Firefly, Whisk, or similar — with a genuine drive to stay current as the toolset evolves.
Strong visual design sensibility across typography, colour, layout, and composition in both static and motion contexts.
Proven ability to manage your own time, flag risks early, and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines — independently, without hand-holding.
Intermediate to advanced English proficiency (written and verbal) — enough to work fluidly with international teams, communicate blockers clearly, and present creative work.
Collaborative mindset — equally comfortable leading a creative direction, mentoring a junior, or taking notes from a craft director.
