About the role

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

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

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 system
  3. Build reusable motion templates for the content team
  4. Review AI-generated motion variants and decide what ships

A typical week

Where the hours go in an ordinary week, and which parts agents carry. Whatever an agent drafts or checks, a person decides what happens next.

Your first 90 days

The plan is written down before your first day, and you review it with your lead as the weeks go by.

Where you would work

How we hire for this role

5 steps, and a reply after every one.

The same five stages we use for every role. Timings are targets; when one slips, we tell you.

  1. Within 5 working days

    Step 1: Read

    A practitioner in the practice reads your application — your links first, your CV second. No keyword filter, no agency.

  2. Week 1 · 45 min

    Step 2: Conversation

    The hiring lead: the role, your work, and the level and salary band — before you invest more time in us.

  3. Week 2 · 2–3 h, paid

    Step 3: Work sample

    A short exercise close to the job, or a deep review of work you have already done. Paid, and never unpaid spec work.

    Work sample · the brief
  4. Week 3 · half a day

    Step 4: Team day

    Meet the people you would work with, in a studio or on video. Ask them anything; they will answer honestly.

  5. Week 3–4

    Step 5: Offer

    In writing, with the level, the salary, the full benefits and a start date that suits you. No exploding deadlines.

What helps an application

  • A link to work you made, with your own part in it named.
  • One project you could talk through for half an hour.
  • If you used AI, a line on how you checked what it produced.
  • Plain words. We read for substance, not polish.

Adjustments. Extra time, questions in advance, captions, a different format — tell us on the form or by email. Asking never counts against you.
