Job Description
Motion Designer at ACQ Media responsible for animation and motion graphics across digital content. Collaborate on high-performance media aiming to deepen brand influence and create business impact.
Responsibilities:
- Designing and animating motion graphics, kinetic typography, and branded transitions for long-form and short-form video content
- Building and maintaining the motion design system, animation templates, and visual standards across all ACQ Media brands
- On-screen graphics, lower thirds, animated title treatments, episodic opens/closes, bumpers, etc.
- Delivery within a design-to-production handoff pipeline that integrates cleanly into editor timelines
- Maintain and evolve the motion design language for each brand (Alex, Leila, Sharran, ACQ) — including timing, easing, color, and typographic animation standards
- Build and manage template libraries for animated lower thirds, title cards, social graphics, bumpers, and episodic title treatments in After Effects
- Ensure motion consistency across all output — every animated asset should be immediately identifiable as part of its brand
- Document motion standards in brand guides and animation style references
- Collaborate with the broader media team to ensure motion assets are cohesive with captured footage and overall visual identity guidelines
- Create motion graphics, animated text treatments, kinetic typography, and branded transitions for long-form YouTube content and social clips
- Design and animate episodic opens, closes, chapter cards, and segment transitions that elevate production value across all series
- Build motion assets that integrate cleanly into editor timelines in Premiere Pro with minimal revision cycles
- Contribute to a shared motion asset library that accelerates post-production output across the team
- Design and animate platform-native motion assets (animated covers, story templates, promo graphics, looping visuals) for Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and YouTube
- Produce short-form motion pieces optimized for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok formats
- Maintain awareness of platform-specific motion specs, aspect ratios, and safe zones to ensure pixel-perfect delivery
- Maintain an organized, tagged, and searchable motion asset library
- Apply file naming conventions and version control across all motion output
- Deliver assets in correct formats, frame rates, resolutions, and codec specs for each platform and use case — zero ambiguity for the teams receiving them
- Leverage AI tools and motion automation (expressions, scripts, plugins) to increase output speed without sacrificing quality
- Proactively catch and correct motion inconsistencies, quality drifts, or brand misalignments before they reach post-production
- Use performance data to drive motion design decisions, not just aesthetic preference
- Continuously raise the animation bar — good enough is not the standard
Requirements:
- 4+ years of motion design experience in a media, agency, or content production environment
- A portfolio demonstrating strong motion craft, typographic animation, and high-volume output
- Expert-level proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro; strong working knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator
- Deep understanding of animation principles: timing, easing, anticipation, visual hierarchy in motion
- Experience designing and animating lower thirds, title treatments, bumpers, and episodic graphics for video content
- Familiarity with platform-specific motion requirements across YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X
- Proficiency with After Effects expressions and/or scripting (GSAP, ExtendScript)
- Systems-oriented mindset — you build animation templates and repeatable processes, not one-offs
- Comfortable working within structured production environments (Monday.com, shared asset libraries, Frame.io, batch production calendars)
- Familiarity with AI motion and design tools (Hera, RunwayML, Adobe Firefly, or equivalent) and a drive to integrate them into daily workflows
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and deliver on tight deadlines without quality degradation
Benefits:
- Flexible Unlimited Paid Time Off and Company-wide Holidays
- Employer sponsored Medical, Dental, & Vision plans
- $1,950 annual Employer HSA contribution
- FSA options including dependent care
- Employee assistance program and mental health resources
- Employer match program for 401(k), eligible for both Traditional and Roth accounts
- $1,200 annual wellness reimbursement through JOON that supports health, family care, pet care, fitness, and more!
- For local or visiting team members, enjoy access to a state of the art gym at our HQ in Las Vegas
