SW London – Hybrid (2 days remote, 3 days on-site per week)
£225-245 per day – Inside IR35
Initial 3 month contract – view to extend

About the Role

We\’re hiring a Motion Graphics Animator for an amazing opportunity to get stuck in, build your experience and join an award-winning in-house creative team at one of the world\’s most recognisable tech brands. This team delivers beautifully crafted motion design and storytelling content across a wide range of digital services; from app promotions and Streaming features/adverts to townhall presentations, editorial features, and global campaigns.

You\’ll work directly with a senior creative director and alongside a diverse global team of animators, designers, and art directors. The work is varied, from high-volume campaign assets to bespoke creative pieces tied to global events like Lunar New Year, Black History Month, and more.

While the majority of projects will be 2D-based using After Effects, experience or familiarity with 3D tools (e.g. C4D, Blender, Maya) will be highly valued.

What You\’ll Do

• Animate high quality 2D motion graphics for global digital campaigns
• Explore creative ways to bring static assets to life through animation
• Collaborate with stakeholders across editorial, design, and production
• Adapt to a variety of styles and aesthetics while maintaining brand consistency
• Work on a range of deliverables from templated system driven content to bespoke animations for global keynotes
• Stay hands-on throughout the process: story boarding, animating, and rendering final deliverables.
• Balance creative exploration with efficient production output

What We\’re Looking For

• 2-5 years in motion design, ideally in fast-paced agency or in-house environments.
• A strong demo reel that demonstrates both style variety and technical execution.
• Deep knowledge of After Effects and the Adobe Creative Suite.
• A good eye for layout, timing, and storytelling through motion.
• Comfortable working with creative templates and large scale animation systems.
• Proactive, collaborative, and comfortable switching between high level briefs and hands-on production.
• Strong organisation and communication skills, able to thrive in a hybrid working culture.

Bonus Points

• Experience with 3D tools (C4D, Blender, Maya etc.).
• Exposure to character rigging or cel animation.
• Familiarity with designing for global campaigns (especially across EMEA/APAC regions).

Ideal Candidate Traits

You\’re curious, flexible, and get stuck in, whether it\’s creating something beautiful from scratch or iterating quickly to meet a campaign deadline. You bring positivity, initiative, and a collaborative mindset. Agency or publisher background is a plus, as is the ability to juggle multiple briefs and deadlines at once.

To Apply

Please share your CV, a portfolio or showreel highlighting relevant motion design work, and a brief note about your availability.
