We’ve achieved 99.5% data accuracy, saved over 35 million hours of manual data entry, and are trusted by 12,000 firms and 700,000 businesses globally.

We are seeking an experienced and high-impact Motion and Video Designer to bring motion and short-form video to life across paid social, brand campaigns, and product launches.

The role, what you’ll do:

• Concept, animate and produce high-performing motion and video content for paid social, organic, display and video platforms; from hooks and headlines to full creative variants that earn attention and drive performance in-market.
• Create and adapt creative end-to-end for Meta, LinkedIn, and emerging channels, with a clear understanding of how format, pacing, and platform convention shape what performs.
• Shoot and edit short-form, vertical-first video for paid and organic social (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn video), bringing the same creative instinct to what you capture on camera as to what you animate.
• Own the full production pipeline where needed: sourcing and briefing colleagues or external contributors, organising locations and schedules, and running shoots.
• Develop scalable motion systems and template libraries (hooks, cut-downs, end-cards, sound beds) so volume can scale without a from-scratch brief every time.
• Integrate AI tools into creative workflows to accelerate production, generate variants at scale, and improve efficiency without sacrificing craft.
• Track how assets perform against paid and organic KPIs (hook rate, watch-through, CTR) and iterate based on what the data shows.
• Socialise work across the business: share what’s performing, what it teaches, and help stakeholders feel empowered to brief into the capability.

About you, what we are looking for:

• You’re naturally curious and excited by the craft. You watch content and think about why it works, not just what it looks like, so you arrive at briefs with ideas already forming.
• You’re collaborative and self-sufficient, and you thrive as part of a team with a shared point of view.
• You care about the work landing, not just being made, and once it’s out you’re invested in how it performs, what it teaches the team, and how it shapes the next brief.
• You take creative direction well and use feedback to sharpen your work.
• You know the job doesn’t end at execution: it ends when the business knows what to do with it.
• Experience producing motion and/or video content in-house, agency side, or as a creator.
• A portfolio of shipped brand assets: campaign visuals, social videos, paid creative.
• Proficiency across Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator).
• Motion skills across 2D animation; 3D and AI tooling (Runway, Pika, generative tools) are a strong advantage.
• Experience creating channel-native short-form content; you understand hook structure, platform specs, safe zones, and why pacing matters.
• Understanding of what drives conversion from a motion design perspective: competitor awareness, CTR benchmarks, and the creative principles behind what performs.

What you’ll be part of: our values, culture and behaviours:

• Be Brave – Everyone has a voice and the opportunity to challenge the status quo.
• Be Exceptional – We strive for excellence in everything we do.
• Be Together – We succeed as a team, and individual success is inseparable from team success.

Our behaviours practically express our values, shaping how we live and work at Dext. They guide our actions, influencing how we communicate, collaborate, and support one another. These behaviours are: Be Diverse, be Courageous, be Considerate, be Transparent, be Focused, be Accountable, and above all, be Dexterous!

What we offer, the perks:

• A competitive salary.
• Flexible working.
• 25 days off plus bank holidays, volunteering days, summer hours and a day off the week of your birthday.
• Employer-paid private medical insurance and health cash plan (Medicash - reloadable shopping cards, cinema ticket discounts, online discounts and more!).
• Cycle to work scheme.
• Payroll giving.
• Income protection.
• Mental health support.
