• Develop storyboards, mood boards, style frames, and prototypes to communicate ideas early and clearly.

• Bring a critical eye to storytelling—editing and refining video and motion assets to maximize clarity, emotional resonance, and visual impact.

• Own projects end‑to‑end— from creative concepting and scripting to post‑production and delivery.

• Balance creative intuition with strategic clarity, always designing with purpose.

• Know how to collaborate closely across teams and communicate your ideas effectively.

• Are highly organized, able to manage multiple projects and timelines without compromising quality.

• Are both technical wiz and gear head when it comes to filming as well as a bonafide designer and artist when it comes to post‑production, editing, and creating beautiful animation.

• 6+ years of experience in video production, animation, motion design, and motion graphics—preferably in tech, creative agency, or product‑driven environments.

• Strong portfolio showcasing a range of video and motion work, including brand, product, and campaign videos.

• Deep experience with 2D animation, with expert level knowledge of video/motion tools like After Effects, Cinema 4D, Spline, Premiere Pro.
