As a Motion Designer, bring Fanatics Betting & Gaming's social content and creative storytelling to life through engaging, innovative, and culturally relevant motion design across Fanatics Sports & Casino and Fan App.

In this role, you'll work closely with our Social and Content Team to develop and execute motion-driven content across always-on social, real-time sports moments, original programming, serialized content franchises, and larger brand campaigns.
