Senior Brand & Motion Designer

Our brand has to show up in a lot of places: ads, You Tube, UGC, email, the blog, social, print, and the web. We're hiring a brand designer who works across graphic design, web, and motion graphics, with basic video editing on top, so everything looks and feels like Helcim wherever someone meets us. You'll report to Rodolfo, our Director of Design, and work directly with Marketing.

Your job is to keep our visual output evolving.
What's hard about it  You'll switch between graphic, web, motion, and video work, and each has its own craft and its own deadlines. AI tools make fast output easy and good output hard, so a big part of the job is knowing when something is good enough to ship and when it needs another round. You'll also question the brief, propose ideas, build on other people's input, and explain your rationale well enough to move stakeholders.
5+ years in a design, brand, or creative role. You're a strong executor and a creative thinker with a great sensibility for design and aesthetics.
Strong creative ideation skills. You question the brief, propose ideas, build on others' input, and explain your rationale well enough to move stakeholders. You're a strong marketing partner who talks about strategic outcomes, not just design.
Advanced motion design skills. You work fluently in After Effects and can take a storyboard to finished animation. Your portfolio includes a motion reel.
You can shoot and edit video for ads, UGC, and You Tube.
You know Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite well.
You use AI tools like Higgsfield to move faster, and you have a strong sense of judgement about what quality means when AI generates the output.
What you don't need   Payments or fintech experience.
Illustration, 3D, or UI/UX experience. It's useful, and you can build it here.
A degree in anything specific.
If something would make the interview process more accessible for you, tell us and we'll sort it out. We hire for range, because a team that thinks the same way solves problems the same way.
