We are looking for a talented junior to mid-level Motion Graphics Designer to join our Fortune 100 financial client's creative team, who balances the speed of an agency with the stability of a corporate powerhouse. This is a high-impact role that bridges the gap between creative design and technical production. You will be responsible for taking core concepts and translating them across various digital platforms- from stadium LED strips to dynamic animated social media content.


What You'll Do:



  • Motion & Animation: Create animated graphics for social media and large-scale environmental displays (e.g., stadium LED strips).

  • Digital Execution: Create high-impact digital assets that align with our new brand framework.

  • Brand Expansion: Help us build out and maintain a "clean and elegant" visual language during a critical brand transition.

  • Collaborative Ideation: Participate in creative brainstorms; we want someone who brings ideas to the table, not just someone who takes orders.

  • Quality Control: Navigate a multi-layered review process with grace, using feedback to sharpen the final output.

  • Occasional Field Support: Travel (approx. 10%) to major events (like the Army/Navy game) to help manage or create real-time content.


Core Requirements:



  • Experience: 2-6 years in a professional design environment.

  • Strong portfolio: Showing creative excellence and technical mastery.

  • Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

  • Animation: Proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Animate is a major priority for this role.

  • Figma: Required (or a proven ability to learn it rapidly).

  • The "Hybrid" Mindset: You don't need to be a coder, but you must be tech-savvy enough to understand how graphics function in digital ad spaces.


What Will Set You Apart:



  • Strong Motion Design and Digital Graphic Design skills

  • Photo Editing/Retouching skills.

  • Generative AI: Experience using AI tools to create assets/physical product design (ex. tangible objects like coins or medals).

  • Efficiency: The ability to handle high-volume production without losing your creative spark.


Why Join This Team?

You will be part of a robust creative ecosystem (including a sister team of 18+ video pros). While this role is based more "in-house" than our travel-heavy video crews, you remain a vital artery for our brand's visual output. This is a perfect role for a designer who loves seeing their work live in the real world-from the palm of a hand on a smartphone to the massive screens of a stadium.


The target hiring compensation range for this role is $35 to $40 hr. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
