Job description

Haus is looking for a Motion Designer to join our Los Angeles team. In this role, you will be responsible for bringing design work to life across campaigns, digital experiences, and brand storytelling — animating with intention, craft, and a strong sense of timing. The ideal candidate leads with motion expertise while also contributing meaningfully to the design and concepting process.

What you'll do:
  • Animate and bring to life design work across a range of formats — social, web, brand, campaign
  • Collaborate with ADs and CDs from early stages to help inform how motion can shape a concept
  • Develop motion style frames, animatics, and final delivery-ready assets
  • Contribute design ideas and style sensibility when concepting — your voice matters beyond just animation
  • Stay sharp on emerging tools and techniques, from procedural animation to interactive motion
What you'll bring:
  • Strong motion design portfolio demonstrating range, craft, and a clear sense of timing and feel
  • Solid After Effects and Premiere skills
  • Strong understanding of design fundamentals
  • Cinema 4D or other 3D skills is a major plus
  • Experience with procedural animation (expressions, scripts, or tools like Cavalry) is a bonus
  • Awareness of code-based animation formats (Lottie, Rive) appreciated
  • Figma proficiency for collaboration and asset handoff

We're a digital design studio in Los Angeles built on the belief that creativity and technology are better together. Our team is diverse, multidisciplinary, and deeply invested in the craft. We work with brands across industries, from emerging startups to household names, on projects that push what digital can do.

If you're looking for a place where your ideas are heard, your growth is supported, and the work actually matters–we'd love to meet you.

The estimated compensation for this position is $75k-$105k per year, plus a 401k, medical, dental, vision, life and optional benefits, paid time off, fun events and more.
