Summary:

We’re looking for a Motion Graphics & Illustration Specialist to join Vivint’s Creative Team. This role is responsible for delivering high-quality motion design, 3D product visualization, and illustrative content that supports marketing campaigns, product storytelling, and brand experiences.

Beyond execution, this role will take ownership of defining and evolving Vivint’s illustration language—building a scalable system that can be applied consistently across a wide range of platforms and use cases.

• Defining and building a scalable illustration system and visual style for the Vivint brand
• Applying and evolving illustration standards across web, mobile app, video marketing, lifecycle campaigns, and other digital channels
• Translating product features and concepts into clear, engaging visual narratives
• Producing short-form animations and explainer content that simplify complex ideas
• Creating character-based animations and bringing illustrated or branded characters to life with strong timing, personality, and storytelling
• Collaborating with designers, marketers, and product teams to ensure visual consistency and brand alignment
• Contributing to concept development, storyboarding, and creative direction
• Optimizing motion and visual assets for performance across platforms (web, mobile, paid media)
• Staying current with emerging tools, techniques, and trends in motion design, illustration, and 3D rendering

What We’d Like to See:

• 3–6+ years of experience in motion graphics, illustration, or 3D visualization
• Exceptional portfolio showcasing motion design, illustration systems, and 3D/product rendering work
• Demonstrated ability to define and scale a visual or illustration style across multiple platforms
• Strong understanding of animation principles, including timing, weight, motion, easing, and character animation fundamentals
• Strong grasp of lighting, materials, composition, and rendering techniques
• Experience creating product-focused visuals or working with physical products
• High level of craft, attention to detail, and creative judgment—we’re looking for someone operating at the top of their discipline
• Ability to balance creative vision with technical precision
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced environment

Tech and Design Skills:

• Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro)
