• Field and reconcile feedback from leadership, exercising judgment to translate input into a clear creative path forward.

• Direct, mentor, and provide clear, effective direction and feedback to motion designers, freelancers, and agency partners, raising the bar across all motion output.

• Partner cross-functionally with brand, marketing, product, and creative teams to align motion work with broader storytelling and business goals.

• Communicate effectively across creative peers, project management, strategy, senior leadership, and business partners, aligning stakeholders around a creative vision and knowing when to ask the right questions.

• Explore and integrate AI-driven tools and techniques to expand what's possible and improve how the team works.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in motion design and creative direction, including prior leadership running workstreams and directing others. A strong creative point of view, with the ability to field and reconcile leadership feedback and provide clear direction to others.

• A portfolio that demonstrates strong design and typography fundamentals, a range of styles, and a diversity of project types.

• Mastery of motion and design principles, timing, keyframes, and visual systems, with fluency in speed and value curves.

• Expert knowledge of relevant tools, including After Effects, Cinema 4D, Redshift, and Figma, along with modern motion workflows.
