We're looking for a Social Media Motion Designer who lives and breathes animation, typography, and visual design. You'll create scroll-stopping motion graphics and animations crafted specifically for popular social platforms. From kinetic text treatments and animated infographics to playful stickers and stylized explainers, your work will add energy and clarity to Optum's storytelling.

If you're a motion artist with solid design instincts, a knack for turning complex ideas into simple, visual narratives, and the agility to bring concepts to life quickly, we want to hear from you.

Primary Responsibilities :

• Concept, design, and animate short-form motion graphics optimized for popular social platforms
• Develop visual systems, style frames, and storyboards that translate healthcare topics into engaging animated stories
• Design and animate typography-driven pieces, iconography, and infographic-style explainers that simplify complex information
• Create original illustrations and lightweight assets to support motion content
• Collaborate closely with videographers, editors, and creative directors to integrate motion seamlessly into broader campaigns
• Stay ahead of motion and design trends in social media to keep content fresh, modern, and relevant
• Ensure all motion content is brand-aligned, accessible, and compliant, while still pushing creative boundaries
• Take initiative as a creator-whether that means art directing a motion concept, styling a scene, or finding a scrappy way to bring an animation idea to life
• Partner with analytics teams to understand how animated content performs and optimize future work

You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
