The Design Team comprises 115+ designers, researchers, and brand experts led by Chief Design Officer Vuokko Aro.
As a Senior Motion Designer, you will shape Monzo's visual identity through dynamic motion and deliver high-quality animation solutions aligned with strategic goals. You'll work as a conceptual thinker, combining creativity and vision to produce compelling designs rooted in strong concepts.

• Product Integration: Work closely with product designers and engineers to implement motion design within the product using tools like LottieFiles or Rive, bringing animations directly into the app experience.
• Collaboration & Storytelling: Partner with writers, designers, and marketing leads to bring big ideas to life through motion and creativity. Create world-class animations for integrated campaigns, email, web, and product UI. Demonstrate knowledge of safe zones, compliance, and size ratios across platforms like Meta and YouTube.
• Hands-On Animation: Concept storylines and visuals, design storyboards and animation tests for proof of concept. Animate in a variety of 2D styles and techniques. Build a library of core brand animations for multi-touchpoint use. Animate branded illustrations and bring magic touches to life.
• Brand Evolution: Maintain and apply knowledge of brand identity systems while exploring opportunities to evolve them. Manage time effectively to meet deadlines and delivery schedules.
