Strong command of After Effects (with plug-ins/scripts), Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite with fluency in fi le handoff, production workflows, and fi le organization and storage.
Proficiency in motion template development through the Adobe Suite, as well as ability to translate and adapt motion systems for third-party apps like Canva, Google, Keynote
Comfortable managing large motion asset libraries and QC workflows
How you'll lead: Critique motion work with clarity identifying gaps, upholding brand systems, and giving precise, actionable direction to internal or external partners
Maintain fidelity to our established motion system while adapting deliverables across formats, use cases, and audience types
Partner with copy and editorial leads to localize messaging and tailor content for specific markets, screen types, and customer needs
Own and manage the motion production pipeline tracking deliverables, managing fi le structure, overseeing QC, and ensuring timely, on-brand delivery
Present confidently to creative leads and stakeholders clearly articulating the strategy, creative decisions, and technical rationale behind the work
Work in agile sprints iterating quickly, responding to feedback with speed and thoughtfulness, and helping unblock production when needed
Balance output volume with quality scaling systems efficiently without sacrificing clarity, cohesion, or craft
