About the Job

Our company is representing a confidential client seeking a senior-level Motion Graphic Artist to create dynamic, engaging, and culturally relevant content across social media, digital campaigns, product launches, and other brand touchpoints.

This role goes beyond animation execution. We are looking for someone who is technically strong, trend-aware, curious, and constantly exploring new ways to tell stories through motion. You should understand social media, emerging content formats, and AI-powered creative tools.

You will work across motion graphics, animation, video editing, and social-first content while providing day-to-day guidance to two graphic designers and taking ownership of projects from brief through to final delivery.

The ideal candidate should produce agency-level creative work, communicate proactively, provide guidance on technical possibilities and realistic timelines, and bring fresh creative ideas to the team.
