Motion Designer

Motion Designer

This Motion Designer sits at the center of a highly collaborative, social-first creative team, acting as the bridge between visual design and video editing. You will translate visual designers' storyboards into dynamic motion and video content, bringing ideas to life with precision, craft, and strong platform-native understanding.
The work spans fast-turn (often within 1-2 working days), reactive social content through to long-form YouTube concert series, all rooted in Bose's presence and impact within music culture. You'll be shaping how Bose shows up in the music conversation, creating content that responds to, reflects, and amplifies the brand's relationship with artists, sound, and culture.
This is a tight-knit, highly collaborative environment where motion, design, and edit are deeply interconnected. You'll work closely with designers, editors, producers, and creative leads to ensure seamless execution from concept through final delivery. The ideal candidate is excited by music, energized by experimentation, and confident working across both speed-driven social content and more crafted long-form storytelling.
