Remote Motion Design Jobs in Chicago, IL (NOW HIRING)

We're hiring an AI Video Designer to elevate how video storytelling shows up across our marketing. This isn't a role for a traditional editor who executes a timeline. We need an AI-first creative with the human taste and marketing intuition to know when a story needs a human touch to resonate. You'll partner with our marketing team to shape campaigns from the idea stage, then bring them to life as videos that are clear, purposeful, and high-performing.

You'll report to the Marketing Design Team Lead and partner daily with our performance marketing, brand, social and content teams to co-create campaigns. You'll also coach other designers, setting the creative bar for an AI-augmented production workflow.

• Know when to use AI, and when not to. Make deliberate judgment calls on where AI accelerates the work and where human craft is what makes it land. This is the core of the role.
• Co-create campaigns with marketing. Brainstorm alongside marketers to shape campaign ideas from the whiteboard, then translate them into compelling video stories. You're not just receiving briefs-you're creating stories and executing them with video.
• Design with marketing intent. Develop storylines, hooks, and structures that capture attention and drive results. Make things that work, not just things that look "cool".
• Scale creativity with speed. Use AI-assisted tools for ideation, scripting, rapid prototyping, and technical enhancements (upscaling, rotoscoping, voice synthesis) without compromising narrative quality.
• Define a distinct visual language. Set the motion styles, pacing, and visual treatment across all videos so our output feels consistent, premium, and unmistakably ours.
• Coach and mentor. Guide other designers and set the benchmarks for great work in an AI-augmented creative workflow.
• Build scalable systems. Create reusable motion kits and AI-driven workflows that bring structure and efficiency to production across campaigns.

What Success Looks Like in Your First 3 Months

• You've shipped at least one flagship campaign-end to end, concept to export-that our team points to as the new benchmark for what our video can be.
• You've measurably raised our output velocity (more videos per sprint, or faster turnaround times) without a drop in quality.
• You've built a repeatable AI-augmented production workflow and brought the rest of the team along, so the standard you set sticks.

• A background in video editing or motion design with clear AI fluency. This typically looks like 4+ years of hands-on experience, but we care more about the portfolio than the year count.
• Fluency in the AI video landscape and the judgment to blend it with the human-touch
• Marketing intuition. You understand audience attention and what makes a B2B video land. You know a hook when you see one and can explain why it works.
• The human filter. You can spot when AI-generated content is uncanny or generic, and you have the taste and skill to fix it.
• Narrative strength. Storytelling matters more to you than the specific software. You simplify complex ideas instead of over-designing them.
• Speed and ownership. You're comfortable taking a project from concept to final export at high velocity without needing a producer to hold the reins.
• Data and analytics: You know how and where to get data to know that what you are delivering is resonating with users and prospects.

• You simplify instead of over-designing
• You think in concepts before execution
• You can clearly explain why something works (or doesn't)
• You've helped raise the quality of a team, not just your own work
• You have experience in B2B SaaS or a similarly fast-moving software category.
