Motion and Animation Designer

London hybrid HYBRID

We're a social and end-to-end content production agency. Since 2008 we've been building an integrated, digital-first offering that combines content excellence with channel best practice to drive performance across our client base.

As a values-driven agency, our people are our power. We stay ahead of the game by hiring smart thinkers and giving them back what they put in: through rapid progression, industry-leading benefits and a culture which has been named in Campaign's Best Places to Work for 5 years running.

We're looking for a Motion Designer to join our expanding Creative team, working primarily on one of our mobile gaming clients.

You need to be ambitious and ready to work in a fast-paced environment and you must be an excellent team player.

You'll be a solid midweight Motion Creative, who's able to both work independently and with a range of different client stakeholders. You're calm under pressure, mature in difficult situations, and a problem solver both in your work and when work isn't going to plan. In short you're a professional grown up - excellent at your craft, and a solid team player for what will be an expansive team.
