Senior Motion Designer in Leeds

Overview of the role: We’re looking for a Senior Motion Designer to join our in‑house creative team and help shape how our brand moves, feels, and connects with audiences. You’ll play a key role in defining our visual language through motion — crafting impactful, on‑brand animations that bring our stories, products, and campaigns to life across digital, social, and experiential platforms. This is a role for a creative thinker who combines design sensitivity with technical mastery, thrives in a collaborative environment, and can elevate every piece of motion work produced under our brand. Our brand is constantly evolving — motion is how we express that evolution. We need a Senior Motion Designer who can turn strategy into emotion, design into movement, and stories into experiences that people remember.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the design and production of motion graphics, animations, and visual storytelling across marketing campaigns, product launches, and brand communications.
• Develop motion systems and design principles that bring consistency and innovation to how our brand moves.
• Collaborate closely with brand, marketing, product, and content teams to translate strategic goals into engaging motion design.
• Create storyboards, style frames, and prototypes to communicate ideas clearly and excite stakeholders.
• Push creative boundaries while maintaining brand coherence and visual excellence.
• Oversee and mentor motion designers, providing feedback and guidance to ensure the highest standards of design and animation.
• Stay ahead of emerging tools, technologies, and motion trends to keep our creative output fresh and forward‑thinking.
• Manage multiple projects efficiently while maintaining attention to detail and deadlines.
• Bring our brand to life across every touchpoint — from campaigns to social, product launches to internal storytelling.
• Shape a cohesive motion language that defines how our brand feels in motion.
• Inspire and mentor others, raising the standard of motion design across the team.
• Ensure every animation, transition, and piece of motion content doesn’t just look good — it feels like us.

What you’ll bring:

• 5+ years of professional experience in motion design or animation, ideally within a brand, studio, or creative agency.
• A standout portfolio showcasing storytelling, brand‑driven design, and polished motion work.
• Expert knowledge of Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
• Strong understanding of timing, composition, typography, and design systems in motion.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — comfortable presenting ideas and influencing creative direction.
• Proven ability to balance strategic brand thinking with creative experimentation.
• Experience in UI motion, AR/VR content, or interactive design desirable but not essential.
• Familiarity with content marketing and performance‑led creative desirable but not essential.
• Background in film, visual effects, or art direction desirable but not essential.

Benefits:
