60 Profound Jobs Hiring Near You

Profound is the marketing platform for the age of AI search. The way brands reach people is being rewritten - AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode are now the answer layer between companies and their customers. We built the platform marketers use to understand, measure, and win in that world: the analytics, intelligence, and agent automation that turn AI search from a threat into a competitive advantage.

We went from 0 to a $1B valuation in 18 months. Revenue grew 100x last year. Our customers include 15% of the Fortune 500 like Walmart, Wayfair and U.S. Bank, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. We are backed by Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, LSVP, and Khosla Ventures - and we are moving fast enough that the people joining now are building the playbook everyone who comes after them will run.

Design is foundational to our product and our company. As a Motion Designer at Profound, you'll bring our brand, marketing, and product to life through motion. You'll work across the marketing, brand, and product teams to turn complex ideas into animations that are as polished as they are fast to ship, with deep ownership over how Profound moves.

What you'll do

• Develop motion concepts end to end for marketing, brand, and product content, from concept development and storyboarding through final animation

• Create animated brand assets such as logo reveals, title sequences, lower-thirds, transitions, and end cards

• Produce short-form social animations and ad creatives, optimized for the formats and platforms each campaign requires

• Bring the product to life through motion, including feature demos, UI animation, and product storytelling in partnership with the product team

• Handle light video editing in support of your motion work, including timing adjustments, assembling provided footage, and basic sound sync

• Prepare and deliver final exports in agreed formats, including source files where applicable

• Partner closely with stakeholders across marketing, brand, and product to gather requirements, align on creative direction, and confirm delivery timelines

Who you are

• You work with full autonomy and can take a brief and own it end to end, from concept to final delivery, without hand-holding. This is not a junior role

• You have real command of animation and apply the core principles (timing, spacing, weight, anticipation, follow-through) with fluency and ease

• You have a reel or portfolio that shows a high bar for craft across brand, social, and product motion

• You're fluent in After Effects and comfortable working in Figma; bonus for tools like Rive, Lottie, Cinema 4D, and Premiere

• You sweat the finish (typography, spacing, rhythm, and consistency) and know what makes motion feel effortless

• You move fast and reliably deliver high-quality work on short timelines without sacrificing craft

• You're a versatile generalist, equally comfortable on a sales-ready social cut and an in-product animation

• You like to experiment with AI and new tools to work faster and push your craft further

• You're a strong communicator who can articulate creative decisions and incorporate feedback to continuously improve the work

• You can just do things

Note from our co-founder

In the evolving landscape of product development, exceptional design is not merely a nice-to-have, it is foundational. As software engineering becomes increasingly accessible, it is taste, creativity, and thoughtful execution that differentiate outstanding products from the rest.

I believe deeply that design sits at the core of our success. At Profound, my goal is to build a design team renowned for setting a new standard of excellence, crafting experiences so compelling they become benchmarks in our industry.

If you are someone who believes in the transformative power of great design and wants to create work that genuinely shapes the future, join us. Let's redefine what's possible together.
