Location: Remote (U.S. Based)
Employment Type: W2 Contract (3–6 months minimum, potential for full-time conversion)
Start Date: ASAP
Pay Rate: Competitive, based on experience

Overview
Our client is seeking a talented Motion Designer with a strong background in short-form, social-first video content to support their digital marketing team. This role is critical in driving engaging, high-performing video content—especially for platforms like Instagram Reels and TikTok—that showcases the value and features of their consumer app.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a creative, fast-moving team where your motion design expertise will play a key role in product storytelling, lifestyle marketing, and app feature promotion.

Key Responsibilities

• Concept, design, and edit high-quality short-form video content optimized for social media platforms (primarily Instagram Reels and TikTok).

• Translate product features and lifestyle themes into visually compelling narratives.

• Collaborate with marketing stakeholders and creative partners to align content with brand voice and business goals.

• Own video production end-to-end: from storyboarding to post-production.

• Provide strategic input on content format, tone, and visual direction based on platform best practices and performance trends.

• Work closely with team members including the hiring manager and internal creatives to ensure brand and message consistency.

• Deliver content that supports upcoming marketing campaigns running through September.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of professional experience in motion design, video editing, or content creation.

• Proven expertise in tools such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, and other industry-standard design/editing platforms.

• A portfolio that demonstrates creativity in short-form, video-first content for social media.

• Strong understanding of how to connect lifestyle themes (e.g., sports, music, pets, weather) with product messaging.

• Comfort working within existing brand guidelines while contributing fresh, platform-native ideas.

• Bonus: Copywriting skills or experience designing static graphics.

• Ability to embed quickly into a team, take initiative, and collaborate fluidly in a remote setting.

Additional Notes

• You’ll collaborate closely with internal team members like Jules and Allison for brand and tone guidance.

• You will not be working directly with the internal news-focused social team, but rather on evergreen and product-centric content.

• This role is ideal for someone who’s quick, resourceful, and excited about creating content that drives product discovery through creativity and storytelling.
