Senior Motion Graphic Artist

Senior Motion Graphic Artist
Remote

A|L Media is an award-winning political media firm working for political candidates and issue-oriented campaigns across the country. We're hiring a Senior Motion Graphics Designer to lead motion work within our talented production team through the height of the election cycle.

This is a contract position through early November. Samples of work are required to be considered.

As a Senior Motion Graphic Artist at A|L, you'll be a creative leader on the production team—shaping concepts from the earliest stages, setting the bar for motion quality across our output, and helping less-experienced designers grow. You'll balance high-level creative direction with hands-on execution, delivering standout work against the fast, unforgiving timelines of a political news cycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the motion design process on assigned projects, from concept through final delivery
• Bring original ideas and creative direction to the team, and identify smarter, faster ways to execute against tight timelines
• Create and refine high-impact graphic elements across all products, including TV, digital, print, and presentations
• Excel at motion, color, typography, composition, imagery, and animation
• Partner closely with production staff and account teams; work independently while also mentoring and guiding junior designers
• Set and uphold standards for A|L's motion workflow and processes; keep work organized, consistent, and detail-oriented
• Help maintain creative quality and consistency across multiple simultaneous campaigns

Skills & Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional motion design experience; this is a senior, non–entry-level role
• Expert-level proficiency across the Adobe Suite—After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, PowerPoint—plus AE plugins and other relevant motion design tools
• A strong portfolio demonstrating polished, high-level motion work (samples required)
• Proven ability to lead projects and deliver in a fast-paced, high-volume environment while managing competing priorities
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to give and receive creative direction
• A self-motivated team player with the judgment to work autonomously and the instinct to mentor others
• Availability nights and weekends during peak campaign periods

Nice to Have:

• Video editing experience
• Storyboarding experience
• Prior experience in political, advocacy, or fast-turnaround agency environments
• Interest in progressive politics

Benefits & Compensation:

• An annual salary of $100,000 to $130,000 depending on experience, through November 2026
• Healthcare, dental, and vision insurance offered
• Remote-friendly team with flexible working hours
• High-impact, fast-paced work that supports critical causes and campaigns
• A mission-driven environment where your creative work matters
