Senior Motion Designer

We are looking for a Senior Motion Designer who balances high-level craft with systems-level thinking. Based in our Berlin studio as part of the Global Brand Team, you will report to the Video Creative Lead and act as their key partner in translating brand storytelling into motion — owning the creative process from inception to final cut while evolving our motion design system across global markets.

What you'll do

• Concept, storyboard, design, and animate 2D and 3D motion assets across TV, Digital OOH, Paid Social, and YouTube.
• Evolve and maintain our global motion design guidelines. Build reusable project templates, workflows, and asset libraries that internal designers and external agencies can seamlessly execute against.
• Leverage modern AI tools (e.g., Runway, Midjourney) to optimize production speed without compromising brand aesthetic or creative standards.
• Partner with creative and brand leads to present work to stakeholders, while guiding junior designers and freelancers to raise overall craft quality.
• Execute precise timing, easing, pacing, and basic sound design to separate compelling motion from unforgettable motion.

What you'll need

• 5+ years of dedicated motion design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating excellence in both 2D and 3D execution.
• Proven ability to build production pipelines, style frameworks, and scalable workflows for high-volume content environments.
• Advanced proficiency in After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender, Figma, and the broader Adobe Creative Cloud suite.
• Hands-on experience integrating AI-assisted animation, editing, or image-generation tools into creative workflows.
• Exceptional eye for rhythm and pacing, strong sensitivity to brand context, and the communication skills to navigate stakeholder feedback effectively.
• Proven experience applying and evolving brand systems, not just making one-off videos.

Nice to have

• Experience in sound design or an intuitive musical sense for pacing and rhythm.
• Prior experience working within the food, D2C, or tech sectors.
