About the Role

We're looking for a talented Motion Designer to create engaging digital content, campaigns, and assets for a variety of brands. This role leans more animator than designer: we want someone who can bring work to life with movement, rhythm, and timing. You'll work closely with Art Directors and Creative Directors to concept, design, and animate across a range of projects, from social-first campaigns to larger integrated work.

Responsibilities:

• Animate digital marketing assets predominantly for social media channels.
• Concept, design, and animate work, solo or as part of larger global teams.
• Create styleframes, style proposals, sketches, and mockups to initiate new projects and pitch animation concepts.
• Design and build presentation decks that bring pitches and concepts to life.
• Translate creative briefs into comprehensive design briefs.
• Push creative boundaries to develop innovative digital designs and aesthetics.
• Set and maintain design styles, ensuring consistency across formats.
• Collaborate with designers, copywriters, and creative leads to produce high-quality integrated visual designs.
• Manage the design process, providing fresh perspectives and solutions to enhance work quality.

About You

The essentials:

• 3+ years of experience, focusing on motion design for digital and advertising.
• Exceptional portfolio presented in both motion and static examples.
• Strong animation skills with a good sense of rhythm and timing.
• Proficient in the Adobe suite, with strong file and folder organization.
• Experience across all stages of the process, from concept to final execution.
• Solid understanding of design fundamentals such as typography, flow, and storytelling.
• Strong communication and time-management skills for collaborating with teams.

Not a must, but a plus:

• Light video editing experience.
• Working with audio (a huge plus).
• Traditional art and illustration skills.
• Deck and presentation design.
• 3D design and animation.

At Monks, we believe in fostering an environment where a diversity of perspectives can thrive. We proactively work to design hiring processes that promote equity and inclusion while mitigating bias. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome and encourage qualified applicants, from all backgrounds, who are excited to contribute to our mission.
