Who are we hiring?

Sphere Studios is seeking a Senior (Motion) Designer with strong creative instincts, technical skill, and a drive to grow. This role sits at the intersection of motion design, concept art, and graphic design - ideal for a designer who has mastered the fundamentals and is ready to push into more complex, large-scale, and experimental work.

As an integral member of the creative, experience, and design team, the Senior Designer will help bring to life the next generation of visual storytelling for Sphere's groundbreaking immersive platform. You'll collaborate closely with Creative Directors, Art Directors, and Writers to concept, design, and animate visual content that spans brand, experiential, and marketing applications.

The ideal candidate is ambitious, resilient, and adaptable - someone who thrives on creative challenges, takes direction well, and is eager to explore new mediums. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a designer who's confidently mid-senior : self-sufficient, thoughtful, and excited to keep leveling up.

What will you do?

• Partner with Creative Directors and Art Directors to design and execute original animated content across a range of visual styles and formats.
• Develop and deliver storyboards, animatics, and final motion design assets that bring ideas vividly to life.
• Translate static designs into dynamic motion for Sphere's unique, large-scale, and spherical canvas.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to explore visual concepts that merge motion, design, and storytelling.
• Work fluidly across disciplines - focusing on motion design, but stepping into concept art and graphic design as project needs evolve.
• Take and apply feedback with a professional, open mindset; pivot quickly while maintaining creative integrity and attention to detail.
• Maintain high standards of design excellence, brand consistency, and craft across all deliverables.
