Motion Designer (Brand) Job at Deepstreamtech in New York

Requirements

6+ years of motion design experience in an agency or in-house creative team, with a portfolio that shows range across brand, product, and narrative work

Deep fluency in After Effects and Figma. You've worked on UI and character animation, not just video

Strong pre-production craft: concepting, scripting, and storyboarding ideas into clear motion beats

Clear, proactive communication. You can present work to non-designers and bring people along with your creative rationale

Genuine curiosity about where the tools are going. You're exploring Rive, Jitter, Cavalry, or generative AI in order to expand what's possible

You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and willing to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results

(Desirable) You have live action or illustration skills

(Desirable) You’ve built tools, templates, or workflows that enable non-motion-designers to work with animation confidently

We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers. If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply

If you’re a builder at heart, share our company values, and enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want to hear from you

What the job involves

This role sits within the Creative Studio, a small team of designers, illustrators, copywriters, and filmmakers serving creative needs across the company

As our Brand Motion Designer, you'll lead motion-led projects from concept through storyboarding to final production, and build the motion systems that make animation a consistent part of how our brand shows up

We're looking for someone who approaches motion as a communication tool and can take complex concepts and make them clear, concise, and memorable

Lead motion work from concept through production — brand campaigns, product launches, social content, event visuals, and explainer films

Collaborate with our video team, designers, and cross-functional partners to develop video and film projects that advance the brand

Build and extend motion design systems: principles, behaviors, and templates that others can use and build on

Translate dense concepts into short, clear stories that a broad audience can understand and remember

Raise the bar for motion across the company. Review work, mentor teammates, and bring a strong point of view about how animation serves communication
