About the role

A nine-month contract to lead motion on two campaign programmes. You will also write the motion rules for one brand: easing curves, timings and the few moments that carry sound.

You will work from storyboard to final render and build the templates that let a content team make on-brand motion without redrawing it.

What you will do

  1. Design and animate campaign films, social cut-downs and title sequences
  2. Define motion principles, easing curves and timings for a brand
  3. Build reusable motion templates for the content team
  4. Review AI-generated motion variants and approve what goes live
