Harvey is an AI platform transforming legal and professional services through frontier agentic AI, enterprise-grade infrastructure, and deep domain expertise. The company is at a significant inflection point with strong product-market fit and world-class investor backing. You will define how motion design appears across Harvey's brand, product storytelling, launch moments, web experiences, customer education, and executive-facing creative work. This is a new senior individual contributor role within Brand and Design, reporting to the Head of Motion. The position aims to raise the motion craft bar while maintaining the hands-on, low-ego generalist posture expected of Harvey's senior brand hires. Key responsibilities include: - Develop motion design language for Harvey's brand across launch videos, product explainers, web campaigns, event assets, social content, and sales enablement - Create motion concepts, storyboards, style-frames, animatics, and final assets that make complex AI workflows feel clear, premium, and distinctly Harvey - Partner with Brand, Product Marketing, Product Design, Creative Operations, and GTM stakeholders to translate positioning and product context into motion narratives that ship quickly - Build reusable motion systems, templates, animation principles, and production workflows to scale motion output across product launches and web surfaces - Exercise judgment in scoping work across polished hero moments, rapid launch needs, quick-turnaround edits, and longer-term brand system investments - Maintain craft excellence while contributing to unglamorous but critical production work in a fast-moving creative environment Harvey's culture emphasizes Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished—moving fast on clear judgment, believing simplicity scales, and never settling on current state. REQUIREMENTS: - Strong portfolio demonstrating storytelling, art direction, animation craft, visual systems thinking, and ability to explain process behind finished work - Deep fluency in motion design tools and workflows: After Effects, Figma, Cinema 4D, Lottie, Rive, code-adjacent motion, or comparable production tools - Experience building motion for brand, product, marketing, launch, or education contexts, ideally in product-led technology companies or high-growth SaaS environments - Demonstrated ability to simplify complex concepts visually without overloading viewers; strong instincts for pacing, sequencing, hierarchy, narration, and accessibility - Strong cross-functional communication skills: ability to clarify briefs, align with PMM/Marketing goals, handle competing feedback, and prioritize multiple stakeholder requests - Staff-level ownership mindset: able to bring ideas, shape systems, operate through ambiguity, give and receive feedback effectively, and execute hands-on when needed
