The Brand Studio is Checkr's creative engine, and this Senior Designer role leads motion graphics and animation across the organization. You'll own motion work end-to-end—from concept through final delivery—including storyboards, style frames, animatics, and finished assets for brand campaigns, launch videos, web experiences, and in-product moments like micro-interactions and onboarding flows.
Key responsibilities include building reusable motion templates and animation assets that other teams can confidently use, developing and enforcing motion design guidelines across the company, and partnering cross-functionally with marketing, web development, and product design teams. You'll work fluently in After Effects, Figma, and Adobe Creative Cloud, leveraging AI-assisted workflows to accelerate production without compromising craft quality.
You'll present design rationale clearly to stakeholders from peers to executives, hold quality high across multiple concurrent projects, and move with urgency in a fast-moving environment. The role requires 6+ years of dedicated motion graphics and animation experience in-house or at an agency, a strong portfolio demonstrating mastery of motion craft and storytelling, and experience developing motion standards and directing contractor or freelance creative work.
Checkr offers competitive compensation, equity, 100% medical/dental/vision coverage, flexible PTO, learning and development allowance, and a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
