Freelance Senior Motion Designer (Remote) Job at Monks Associates Inc in Los Ang

About the Role

Monks is looking to expand its creative service capabilities by hiring a Freelance Senior Motion Designer. Reporting to the Associate Director of Animation, you will be a trailblazer helping to build the creative offering for a top performance marketing agency. You will partner with our media buying team and alongside clients to develop creative that drives results. We are looking for a fast, flexible go-getter with a sharp eye, adept skills, and the drive to deliver top-notch creative for our clients.

You’ll be responsible for animating paid media ads for digital channels (including but not limited to Facebook, Google, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube), both net-new and from existing client materials. You’ll be somewhat of a motion generalist, at times jumping from animation into short-form video editing.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with designers and producers to create ads driving performance results for client media programs
• Strong time management, leading multiple motion-based projects with tight timelines
• Conceptualize animated content optimized for paid media channels
• Understand or learn paid media channel best practices
• Fluency in the Adobe Creative Cloud, with focus on After Effects and Premiere Pro
• Self-starter, problem-solver and team-player
• Clearly communicate animation concepts, ideas and limitations to creative and non-creative teammates; articulate and defend animation choices
• Propose new angles, best practices and practical solutions to motion design workflows
• Be open to team and client feedback
• Seek continuous improvement and personal development

About You

The essentials:

• 4–6 years of technical experience with motion design and video editing, preferably at a performance-focused agency
• Portfolio is required
• In-depth knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite with proficiency in After Effects and Premiere
• Experience in paid media ad animation
• 4-year college degree (preferably in design) or equivalent work experience

Not a must, but a plus:

• Experience with HTML5 ad animation
• Experience using Gen AI tools for ad builds and concepting
• Experience building versioning workflows or working with automated versioning tools
• Familiarity with Google suite
• B2C and B2B experience

We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome qualified applicants from all backgrounds who are excited to contribute to our mission.
