This is a full-time, in-person position located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Occasional evening or weekend work may be required to meet campaign deadlines.
Audiochuck is a fast-growing, dynamic company driven by our mission to tell the right stories, in the right ways, for the right reasons. Our team is made up of immensely passionate people who love what we do and don’t stop until we’re proud. Excellence is required at Audiochuck. We have a responsibility and privilege to honor the voices of those whose stories we tell.
We approach our content with empathy, compassion, and a genuine desire to make a difference. Advocacy is an essential part of the Audiochuck culture as we strive to positively impact victims and their families through the use of our time, money, and resources.
Committed to developing our people and fostering a long-term team of talented media professionals, we are seeking a creative and detail-oriented Motion Graphics Designer to join our Production team.
The Motion Graphics Designer brings Audiochuck's videos, stories, and campaigns to life through dynamic, visually engaging motion graphics. This role partners with producers, reporters, editors, audience-growth marketers, and production teams to design and execute motion assets for video, digital, and social platforms that reflect Audiochuck's creative tone and brand standards.
As our in-house motion designer, you'll own the look of our graphics across shows, build the templates and assets our editors and social producers rely on, and work directly with the people making our content so ideas move quickly from concept to screen. As Audiochuck expands into live streaming and video-first social, this role will be central to delivering quick-turn graphics that keep pace.
