About the Role We are looking for a Motion-Driven UI Designer to join our team and shape the visual and interactive experience of a large-scale design system used across web, mobile, and TV platforms for a high-profile international sports broadcasting project.

This role is ideal for designers who think beyond static screens - who design systems in motion, craft meaningful interactions, and bring digital products to life through animation, dynamics, and spatial thinking. Motion and interaction are not secondary - they are core to this role.

What You’ll Do

Design UI components and scalable patterns for a cross-platform design system (web, mobile, TV).

Define and implement motion and interaction principles as a foundational layer of the design system.

Create dynamic behaviors: transitions, states, micro-interactions, focus logic, spatial movement, and responsive feedback.

Develop interactive prototypes and motion explorations to communicate timing, rhythm, hierarchy, and emotional impact.

Collaborate closely with developers to ensure high-quality motion implementation.

Contribute to documentation that clearly articulates motion logic, interaction flows, and animation systems.

Explore spatial and dimensional concepts (including 3D when relevant) to elevate broadcast and large-screen experiences.

What We’re Looking For

Strong portfolio showcasing UI design with a clear emphasis on motion and interaction.

Proven expertise in animation systems, micro-interactions, and interactive prototyping.

Ability to design behaviors, not just interfaces - thinking in states, flows, and transitions.

Experience working across multiple platforms (mobile, responsive web, TV/large screens preferred).

Understanding of how motion enhances usability, storytelling, and brand expression.

Experience contributing to or building design systems.

Strong collaboration and communication skills.

Comfortable working within Madrid time zone hours.

Nice to Have

Experience with sports, live events, or broadcast interfaces.

Proficiency in motion tools (After Effects, Principle, Figma Smart Animate, Lottie, etc.).

Experience with 3D design or motion in 3D environments (Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar).

Understanding of spatial UI, depth, lighting, and dimensional transitions.
