Join to apply for the Motion Designer role at Patreon.
Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their fans and build a lasting business including paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live video, and selling to fans directly with one‑time purchases.
Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:
- $10 billion+ generated by creators since Patreon's inception
- 100 million+ free memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet
- 25 million+ paid memberships on Patreon today
We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Motion Designer to support our mission.
About the Team
You'll be working with a team of multihyphenate creative designers and writers within the Marketing and Communications departments dedicated to bringing craft, creativity, and tone to everything from crystal clear product walkthroughs to bold format‑defying brand campaigns.
About the Role
As the team's motion designer you’ll be responsible for bringing equal taste, instinct, and experience to projects that require managing development and maintenance of always‑on formats and delivering work for non‑traditional brand campaigns that require high concept vision and bespoke, breakthrough style.
About You
Successful candidates are self‑motivated, endlessly curious creative thinkers whose mastery of their craft and tools makes moving from concept to execution feel natural.
They have an instinct for style, a passion for championing great work, and an ability to communicate equally well with product developers, culture‑first editorial teams, and the Patreon creator community at large. That combination will determine whether this role feels energizing and in‑flow—or overwhelming.
- Expertise with Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and 3D tools and production experience delivering work spec‑ready for web, social, and digital out‑of‑home
Work Arrangement
This role is based in New York or San Francisco and requires being on‑site 2 days per week on a hybrid work model. Candidates in remote‑eligible roles are not expected to meet the same requirements.
Compensation and Benefits
Patreon operates under a hybrid work model and offers a competitive benefits package including salary, equity plans, healthcare, flexible time off, company holidays and recharge days, commuter benefits, lifestyle stipends, learning and development stipends, patronage, parental leave, and a 401(k) plan with matching.
We adhere to New York and California pay‑transparency laws and share the expected salary range for this role. The posted salary range depends on the location and level. The final offer will be based on the candidate’s experience, skills, competencies, and geographic location, aligning with the appropriate job level within Patreon’s leveling framework. For remote employees located outside CA and NY, salary may vary based on local market conditions.
