A Junior Motion Designer is an entry-level creative professional who specializes in creating animated graphics, videos, and visual effects. They typically work under the guidance of senior designers or art directors to develop motion content for advertisements, social media, websites, films, and other digital platforms. Their responsibilities include designing animations, editing video footage, and collaborating with teams to bring visual concepts to life. Strong skills in design software like After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Cinema 4D are often required. This role serves as a stepping stone for advancing into more senior motion design positions.
To thrive as a Junior Motion Designer, a solid foundation in graphic design principles, animation techniques, and a relevant degree or coursework in design or multimedia is essential. Proficiency with industry-standard software such as Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop is typically required, and a strong digital portfolio is highly valued. Creative problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication help you stand out in collaborative, deadline-driven environments. These skills enable Junior Motion Designers to produce engaging visual content that meets client briefs and supports project objectives.

You may collaborate with other designers, marketing teams, or clients to interpret project briefs and support brand messaging. A common challenge is balancing multiple projects with tight deadlines while ensuring creative quality and technical accuracy. Working in this role provides hands-on experience, mentorship, and opportunities to expand your portfolio, laying a solid foundation for career growth in the motion design field.

Who We Are
Hi! We're The Heist, the motion design, live action, and post production studio within Thinkingbox, the Brief-to-Built agency.
We bring together directors, designers, animators, editors, and technologists to create work that moves. From brand films to broadcast spots to social campaigns and experiential content, our team blends craft and curiosity to push ideas further. Across our studios, collaboration is real, feedback is open, and culture matters. We take the work seriously. Ourselves, a little less so.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Senior Motion Designer who leads through craft. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives inside the work while helping elevate the people around them.
You'll partner closely with Art Directors and Creative Directors to transform ideas into exceptional motion. Whether you're developing styleframes, designing key moments, building 3D scenes, or refining animation, you'll help establish the creative standard for every project you touch.
Beyond execution, you'll be a trusted teammate who mentors others, tackles creative and technical challenges, and helps guide projects through production with confidence and attention to detail.
Equal Opportunity
At The Heist, we're committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to thrive. We believe that diversity is our creative strength - it's the range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds that fuels our best ideas and most innovative solutions. We welcome and encourage applicants of all races, ethnicities, genders, identities, abilities, ages, sexual orientations, and backgrounds to apply. Your voice matters here.
To Apply
Thank you for your interest in joining our team. Please submit your resume along with links to your online portfolio as part of your application (if applicable). Due to the volume of applications we receive, we're unable to respond to every submission. However, all applications are kept in our talent database and will be considered for future opportunities.
