Overview

Directive Consulting is the leading B2B performance marketing agency that delivers real revenue—not just leads. We use Customer Generation (a marketing methodology developed by us) to cut through the noise. Forget MQLs—we’re here to drive pipeline, fuel SQLs, and scale brands that are serious about growth. From Paid Media and SEO to CRO, RevOps, and Go-To-Market Strategy, we build marketing engines that win in SaaS and across B2B industries.

We move fast. We think boldly. We are elite. We hire people who challenge the status quo and push campaigns past what’s expected - sparking demand for bold, innovative brands. If you live for performance, love solving hard problems, and want your work to actually mean something , you’ll fit right in.

About The Role

The role of the Lead Motion Designer is an incredible opportunity to work with Directive’s award-winning Creative team. You will be responsible for producing content for various client projects and will work in our Design department.

Our ideal candidate is knowledgeable and skilled at creating motion graphics content in After Effects, building engaging assets within brand guidelines, and producing appealing, sophisticated animations that will connect with target audiences and objectives. This person is also able to engage with clients with strategic ideas and consultative feedback.

We’re looking for someone who is not only great at producing multimedia content but is also socially intuitive, collaborative, appreciative of feedback, and passionate about pushing the limits and standing out from the noise. You\'re also deadline-driven, a joy to work with, extremely organized, and detail-obsessed.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Assist in designing and creating storyboards, mood boards, and design frames
  • Research and analyze best design techniques and solutions to create motion graphics
  • Create engaging animations that connect with the target audience and achieve the target objectives
  • Manage the entire lifecycle of short-form video creation for internal and external projects
  • Produce content and assets for use across a wide variety of media, including social media, mobile platforms, web, and emerging media
  • Take initiative on projects to over-deliver new and innovative solutions
  • Adhere to brand guidelines in ways that still push creative boundaries
  • Work with clients and internal stakeholders to understand the brand, audience, and intended message to create a strategic, high-performing video product
  • Create original designs that communicate the desired intentions in a visually creative, unified way to current and prospective clients
  • Coordinate all production requirements, potentially including VO and music, and provide final approval notifications

What You Offer

  • A robust portfolio of completed motion graphic projects is required for consideration
  • Expert-level knowledge of Adobe Suite and additional industry-leading motion graphics design software (AfterEffects, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, Cinema 4D, Blender, Animate, etc)
  • Someone who is always looking for new technologies and platforms to create motion content - including emerging generative AI platforms
  • Superb visual and conceptual skills to solve problems and create novel solutions
  • Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to build your designs into a multi-channel strategy
  • Ability to both fully own a project and also collaborate as a member of a team
  • Bachelor\'s degree in Art, Graphic Design, or a related discipline is highly preferred (but not a deal-breaker)
  • Bonus Points :
  • Strong character animation skills
  • Proficiency in Java for After Effects
  • 3D motion graphics abilities
  • What Success Looks Like

  • Regularly meet or exceed client KPIs, receiving high NPS scores by delivering top-notch work and building a positive rapport with the point of contact
  • Ability to get clients nodding along when presenting strategy and creating moments of delight when work resonates with them
  • Projects are delivered within the deadline and adhere to the scope
