Jellyfish is a global digital marketing agency blending tech, creative, and media expertise to drive digital transformation for major brands. We're seeking a Senior Motion Designer to lead motion design craft across our US operations, reporting to the US Design Director.
You'll drive motion design excellence across all projects, working hands-on with tools like Figma, After Effects, and emerging AI creative tools. You'll lead motion design work for world-class brands undergoing major transformations, with a focus on award-winning, brief-aligned deliverables. Your role spans both hands-on execution and leadership—you'll mentor junior designers, provide oversight on projects, and be a creative voice elevating how motion is integrated across all design work.
You'll collaborate daily with design teams in the US, UK, and Mexico, contribute to new business pitches, and work closely with the Design Director, VP Creative, and Executive Creative Director on feedback and direction. You'll build relationships across the global agency, defend creative ideas against client feedback, and help establish Jellyfish as motion-forward in the industry.
The role emphasizes blending traditional craft excellence with AI-forward thinking—you're excited about how generative AI can enhance (not replace) motion design, and you bring both tools into your work strategically.
Workplace: Hybrid with flexibility to work remotely up to 60% of the time, with flexible hours between 8am–6:30pm.
Requirements:
- 6+ years in a motion design role at a top advertising agency and/or design studio
- Proven track record of high-craft client work
- Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and After Effects; familiarity with 3D tools a plus
- Hands-on experience with AI creative tools (ChatGPT, Midjourney, Nano Banana, etc.) and enthusiasm for their creative potential
- Strong awareness of digital, social, AI tools, and emerging advertising trends
- Experience working with global brands on high-profile, culture-driven campaigns
- Excellent team and client communication and presentation skills
- Note: The company emphasizes skills, expertise, and behavioral attributes over years of experience and traditional degrees.
