An Animation Writer creates scripts, dialogue, and storylines for animated films, TV shows, or web series. They collaborate with directors, animators, and producers to develop engaging narratives that align with the project's tone and audience. Their job includes writing episode scripts, crafting character arcs, and sometimes contributing to world-building. Strong storytelling skills and an understanding of animation formats are essential for success in this role.
To thrive as an Animation Writer, you need strong storytelling skills, an understanding of visual narrative, and preferably a background in creative writing or screenwriting. Familiarity with industry-standard scriptwriting software like Final Draft or Celtx, and knowledge of animation production pipelines is highly beneficial. Excellent communication, collaboration, and adaptability help writers work effectively with artists, directors, and other creative professionals. These skills are important to craft engaging scripts that align with the animation's visual style and production requirements.
Animation Writers often work closely with directors, storyboard artists, and producers, which requires balancing the original script vision with feedback and practical production constraints. Tight deadlines, evolving story needs, and coordinating with multiple team members can present creative and logistical challenges. Flexibility and openness to revision are essential, as scripts often undergo several drafts to match animation timing, character development, and visual storytelling. This collaborative process is rewarding and helps ensure the final product is both narratively compelling and feasible for animation.

About Nen CreativeNen Creative partners with tech startups to launch bold ideas into the world, creating the brands, products, and stories that fuel their growth.
Since 2022, we've partnered with some of the world's top founders and institutions, including Amazon, Pear VC, Andreessen Horowitz, Mercor, Context Inc, Netic, Listen Labs, Tech Week, Mantis VC, Spur, Flora, and more.
We're growing fast and looking for great people to join us.
About the OpportunityWe're looking for a Motion Design Lead to help us scale the motion practice at Nen.
The work spans launch videos, commercials, product explainers, social content, and brand campaigns for our roster of tech clients. You'll work across 2D, UI, typography, compositing, and edit-driven animation, owning hands-on craft on the most ambitious projects while also guiding the rest of the motion team.
You'll partner closely with our producers, editors, designers, and directors to bring projects from concept to final delivery. Some weeks you'll be deep in a flagship animation yourself; others you'll be running critique, refining a teammate's cut, or building the templates and systems the team will use on the next ten projects.
This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving studio. We need someone with strong taste, real range, and the experience to hold a high creative bar across a team while still shipping their own work at the highest level.
What You'll DoLead motion design across a range of client projects including launch videos, commercials, product explainers, social content, and brand campaigns
Create high quality motion work from concept through final delivery across 2D, UI, typography, compositing, and edit-driven animation
Help define the visual direction, pacing, transitions, and motion systems for projects
Work closely with producers, editors, designers, and directors to bring ideas to life
Review and provide feedback to other motion designers to maintain a high creative standard across projects
Help guide and mentor the motion team through critiques, collaboration, and workflow support
Build scalable templates, systems, and processes that improve consistency and efficiency across projects
Balance speed and quality while working across multiple projects and deadlines
Push work beyond the obvious. We value people with strong taste, attention to detail, and a desire to refine until the work feels exceptional
Help improve the overall motion pipeline, organization, and creative process as the team scales
7+ years of experience in motion design, ideally across both product/UI motion and brand or marketing work
Track record of leading or mentoring other motion designers
A strong reel demonstrating range across launch films, brand work, product motion, and social
Expert in After Effects and Figma
Fluency in at least one 3D tool (Cinema 4D, Blender, Spline, or similar)
Real visual design fundamentals — type, layout, color, composition, timing
Strong opinions about easing, timing, and restraint, and the ability to defend them in a room of smart people
Comfortable as both an IC and a leader. Can ship the hardest sequence yourself and unblock a teammate in the same week
Experience in studio, agency, or fast-moving startup environments
Self-directed and remote-ready. Can run a critique on Zoom, give clear written feedback in Figma, and keep a team aligned across time zones
Calm, organized, and dependable under pressure
Be part of a small, fast-growing creative studio trusted by world-class startups and investors
Work directly with the partners and creative leadership on ambitious, high-impact projects
Define and scale the motion practice as we build the team out
Medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), PTO, and company holidays
