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.

  • 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

  • Bonus Points :

  • 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
