About Cleo

At Cleo, we're not just building another fintech app. We're embarking on a mission to fundamentally change humanity's relationship with money. Imagine a world where everyone, regardless of background or income, has access to a hyper-intelligent financial advisor in their pocket. That's the future we're creating.

About The Company

Cleo is a rare success story : a profitable, fast-growing unicorn with over $200 million in ARR and growing over 2x year-over-year. This isn't just a job; it's a chance to join a team of brilliant, driven individuals who are passionate about making a real difference. We have an exceptionally high bar for talent, seeking individuals who are not only at the top of their field but also embody our culture of collaboration and positive impact.

If you’re driven by complex challenges that push your expertise, the chance to shape something truly transformative, and the potential to share in Cleo’s success as we scale, while growing alongside a company that’s scaling fast, this might be your perfect fit.

Follow us on LinkedIn to keep up to date with new product features and insights from the team.

About The Role

We’re looking for a seasoned Motion Design Lead to define how our forthcoming brand moves in the world.

This role will help define and deliver Cleo’s motion identity across all marketing and brand touchpoints. This is a hands-on creative role that combines executional excellence with the opportunity to shape how we use motion as a key driver of our brand expression.

You’ll work closely with our brand, campaign, and growth teams to concept and craft motion work that cuts through, brings energy to the Cleo voice, and sets new creative standards for the fintech space.

We value artistry in every sense of the word and we use AI in the creation of video assets responsibly. We want a leader to help us set and maintain those principles while being excited about utilizing AI in video creation as an exciting new tool in your toolbox.

Key Responsibilities

  • Craft and deliver high-quality motion assets across a range of formats - from social content and paid ads to brand films and product storytelling
  • Collaborate with copywriters, art directors, designers, and wider marketing teams to bring concepts to life through animation
  • Help evolve Cleo’s motion language and visual system, contributing to the development of toolkits and templates
  • Maintain high creative standards across output while working quickly and efficiently in a fast-paced, test-and-learn environment
  • Push creative boundaries with an eye for trends, tech (including AI tooling), and innovative storytelling formats
  • Work cross-functionally with marketing, growth, product, and creative teams to ensure alignment and consistency

What We're Looking For

We’re looking for a senior-level motion creative with 7+ years of experience across brand, agency, or media environments. The ideal candidate can manage high-stakes projects and think big picture but also roll up their sleeves to get the job done. Specifically :

  • Your portfolio shows exceptional storytelling in motion - whether it’s a 15-second Instagram ad, a brand campaign film, or a type-led animation that punches.
  • You’ve developed motion systems and toolkits for brands, and you understand how to balance craft with consistency.
  • Strong hands-on skills in After Effects, Premiere, Figma, and a solid grasp of 3D or mixed media workflows.
  • You’re a creative thinker and a strategic doer - able to translate business needs and briefs into joyful, unexpected moving content.
  • You should be able to think strategically and always have a focus on overarching goals, and how your role contributes to the wider Cleo business objectives.
  • You’ve got a sharp eye for detail, killer taste, and the ambition to set a new bar for what motion looks like in fintech, and beyond.
  • What you get for all your hard work

  • A competitive compensation package (base + equity) with bi-annual reviews, aligned to our quarterly OKR planning cycles. You can view our public progression framework and salary bandings here : https : / / cleo-ai.progressionapp.com /
  • Work at one of the fastest-growing tech startups, backed by top VC firms, Balderton & EQT Ventures
  • A clear progression plan. We want you to keep growing. That means trying new things, leading others, challenging the status quo and owning your impact. Always with our complete support.
  • Flexibility. We can’t fight for the world’s financial health if we’re not healthy ourselves. We work with everyone to make sure they have the balance they need to do their best work
  • Work where you work best. We’re a globally distributed team. Our US team works fully remotely, but we host virtual socials and an annual company offsite in Europe with all expenses paid.
  • Other Benefits

  • Company-wide performance reviews every 6 months
  • Generous pay increases for high-performing team members
  • Equity top-ups for team members getting promoted
  • 15 days annual leave a year + public holidays (+ an additional day for every year you spend at Cleo)
  • 401k matching
  • Medical Insurance, Dental and Vision care
  • Generous Parental Leave
  • 1 month paid sabbatical after 4 years at Cleo
  • Regular socials and activities, online and in-person
  • We\'ll pay for your OpenAI subscription
  • Online mental health support via Spill
  • And many more!
  • Welcoming Everyone

    We strongly encourage applications from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. If there’s anything we can do to accommodate your specific situation, please let us know.

    Compensation range

  • United States : $118,000 - $150,000 gross annually
  • Other locations : Compensation will be discussed during the interview process
  • Final compensation will be determined based on the candidate's qualifications, skills, and previous experience
  • By submitting this application, I confirm that all the information given by me in this application for employment and any additional documents attached hereto are true to the best of my knowledge and that I have not wilfully suppressed any material fact. I confirm I have disclosed if applicable any previous employment with CLEO.
