About the job
At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: “Focus on the user and all else will follow.” Google’s Motion Designers collaborate with cross‑functional partners to create desirable and relevant product experiences that consistently elevate the Google brand. They help people make sense of their world by choreographing experiences that feel fluid, natural, and informative.
Google User Experience (UX) is made up of multi‑disciplinary teams of UX Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers. The UX team plays an integral part in gathering insights about the attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of people who use our products to inspire and inform design. We collaborate closely with engineering and product management to create industry‑leading products that deliver value for the users and for Google’s businesses.
As a Motion Designer, you’ll apply your passion for animation to simplify complex interactions and solve challenging design problems. You’ll help define and implement Google’s motion design language and think critically about how motion reinforces Google’s UX brand, enhances interactivity, and delights our users.
Our work touches billions while exemplifying a key principle that is core to Google’s philosophy: “Focus on the user and all else will follow.”
The US base salary range for this full‑time position is $159,000–$231,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Compensation details reflect the base salary only.
Responsibilities
Create initial motion concepts and high‑fidelity mocks, radically exploring new approaches for Google’s AI‑era design language.
Partner with designers, product managers, and engineers to evolve bold ideas. Respond to feedback quickly and precisely, refining motion concepts and specs in real time and ensuring the collective goal remains cohesive.
Create detailed documentation and logic for developers to accurately implement motion designs.
Provide necessary context for unique animations, ensuring that even the most expressive concepts are technically viable and seamlessly integrated.
Navigate ambiguity by translating complex ideas into tangible visuals that test UI conventions.
Google is a global company and, in order to facilitate efficient collaboration and communication globally, English proficiency is a requirement for all roles unless stated otherwise in the job posting.
Google is a proud equal‑opportunity and affirmative action employer. We are committed to building a workforce that is representative of the users we serve, creating a culture of belonging, and providing an equal employment opportunity regardless of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding), expecting or parents‑to‑be, criminal histories consistent with legal requirements, or any other basis protected by law.
