• Offer new angles, best practices, and practical solutions to our motion‑design workflows
• Openness to team and client feedback
• Eager to push the limits within your work and personal development

Qualifications

• 2‑4 years of technical experience with motion design and video editing, preferably at a performance‑focused agency
