Fanatics is seeking a Motion Designer to create engaging, innovative motion graphics and video content for Fanatics Betting & Gaming's social platforms. You'll work closely with the Social and Content Team to develop motion-driven content across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, YouTube Shorts, and X, supporting always-on social content, real-time sports moments, original programming, serialized content franchises, and brand campaigns.
In this role, you'll go beyond executing creative briefs—you'll proactively pitch fresh ideas, experiment with emerging formats, and identify opportunities to make content stand out. You'll conceptualize and execute high-quality motion graphics and animated content, collaborate with Social Programmers, Creatives, and Producers, and react quickly to breaking sports news and trending moments to create timely, platform-native content. You'll stay connected to sports, entertainment, and internet culture, continuously experimenting with emerging creative tools and techniques to push creative boundaries.
Success requires a proactive, go-getter mindset. You spot trends and create content rather than waiting for briefs. You balance speed, creativity, and execution in a fast-paced, always-on social environment while maintaining high-quality work. You'll serve as a reliable creative partner, contribute original concepts from ideation through execution, and embrace feedback while collaborating across teams.
This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes sports, entertainment, and internet culture—equally excited about jumping on a trending sports moment or developing an original motion concept from scratch. You're curious, resourceful, eager to experiment, and constantly thinking about new ways to make content more entertaining and culturally relevant.
**Requirements:**
- 1–3 years of experience in motion design, animation, video editing, social content creation, or related creative discipline
- Strong proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and AI-assisted creative workflows, with a portfolio showcasing exceptional motion design, video editing, and social-first storytelling
- Proactive, curious, and experimental mindset with passion for emerging creative technologies
- Passion for sports and experience creating entertaining, culturally relevant, platform-native social content
- Strong conceptual thinking and creative storytelling ability; ability to develop original ideas and own projects from concept through execution
- Deep understanding of social platforms, emerging trends, and audience behaviors; ability to react quickly to real-time sports and cultural moments
- Ability to thrive in fast-paced environment, balancing speed and craft across reactive and premium creative executions
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills; ability to manage multiple projects independently and contribute creatively across teams
