Our agency partner is an award-winning independent creative agency with over 15 years of experience delivering standout work across sport, FMCG, tourism and fashion. They’re looking for a talented 3D Generalist / Animator to join their growing creative team and help bring ambitious ideas to life through 3D design, animation and visual storytelling.

This is a broad, hands‑on role for someone who is equally comfortable creating in 3D and making it move. You’ll work across a wide variety of projects, producing everything from beautifully crafted 3D visuals and motion‑led content through to more character-focused animation where required.

Whether you’re building a world, animating an object, developing a visual sequence or bringing a character to life, you’ll know how to combine technical skill with creative instinct to produce work that looks seriously good.

Working closely with the Head of Post-Production and wider creative team, you’ll take ideas from concept through to final delivery. Strong 3D capability is essential, but so is the ability to animate. This isn’t a role for someone who only wants to model or only wants to animate, you’ll need to be comfortable working across both.

IMPORTANT:
This role is for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced and dynamic agency environment. You’ll be managing multiple projects, working to tight deadlines and collaborating across a busy creative team. If you like it calm and predictable, this probably isn’t the role for you.
