Motion Designer — Animated Social Content (Long-Term)

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We're a creative studio looking for a talented motion designer to join us on an ongoing basis. We produce branded content regularly and need a reliable partner who can deliver clean, on-brand animations consistently. **Important:** We already have a clear design direction and our branding is fully in place — guidelines, visual language, the whole system. We're not looking for someone to reinvent our look. We need a strong executor: someone who gets our style, lives and breathes it, and can take it and run. Your job is to bring our existing direction to life in motion, fast and consistently. This starts as ongoing work with a steady flow of tasks. The right person will become a long-term part of our team. ## What we are looking for - Create motion graphics for Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms - Animate short social posts, animated logos, kinetic typography, and simple explainer-style pieces - Work from our brand guidelines and existing design direction - Adapt animations across formats (feed, story, reel) - Turn rough briefs into finished, publish-ready assets - Iterate quickly based on feedback ## Requirements - Strong portfolio of motion graphics for social - Solid command of After Effects (or equivalent — Rive, Lottie, etc.) - Good visual taste, timing, and attention to detail - Reliable communication and ability to hit deadlines - Able to handle a steady, ongoing workload ## Nice to have - Someone who lives and breathes digital — always plugged into social platforms, trends, and what's working right now - Experience with short-form video editing - Familiarity with social trends and platform best practices - Ability to work within and extend existing brand systems ## Budget Flexible and depends on the task — we work hourly, fixed-price per project, or monthly retainer. We're looking for great value: someone skilled who delivers quality at a fair, reasonable rate. Please share your rates when applying. ## How to apply To make sure you actually read this (and to skip generic applications), please include: 1. The word **"SPARK"** at the top of your message Looking forward to seeing your work!
