Associate Motion Designer

We are seeking a Motion Designer who is passionate about creating smooth transitions, clear typography, and conveying narratives through animation. At Social Donut, we integrate design, storytelling, and performance to develop impactful campaigns that resonate with audiences. Whether it's crafting memorable brand experiences or producing engaging content that captures attention, we empower brands that dare to be distinctive. Our clientele includes renowned names such as AstroTalk, Mystic Mondays, GetVantage, and various other leading brands. With the recent introduction of our AI-Powered Content Studio, we are now on the lookout for a dynamic Motion Designer to breathe life into concepts. As a Motion Designer, you will collaborate closely with the creative and strategy teams to produce short-form content, advertisements, social media reels, explanatory videos, and animation-driven designs for brands and content creators. Your responsibilities will involve designing and animating motion graphics for brand videos, social media content, ad campaigns, and more. You will work in tandem with designers, copywriters, and creative strategists to shape visual narratives, transform static designs into animated pieces, and create animated assets for various campaigns. From concept development to final execution, you will take charge of projects, ensuring adherence to brand guidelines and maintaining high aesthetic standards. Staying abreast of the latest animation trends, tools, and meme culture will be key, while also being able to seamlessly blend video footage with animation for social content. Active participation in brainstorming sessions and confidently pitching your ideas are also expected. Proficiency in tools such as After Effects is a must, along with familiarity with Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Photoshop, Illustrator, and basic knowledge of Figma. Additional knowledge of tools like Blender, 3D tools, Notch, Lottie, and AI tools such as Runway and Pika is a bonus. The ideal candidate should possess 2-4 years of experience in motion design, animation, or post-production, along with a compelling portfolio showcasing a mix of brand, social, and narrative-driven motion content. A strong grasp of composition, typography, timing, and the ability to transform mundane briefs into captivating content are essential. While a good sense of music and sound design is advantageous, it is not mandatory. Comfort in working within a dynamic and collaborative environment is a definite plus. Candidates with experience in motion design for DTC, SaaS, or creator brands, familiarity with performance marketing and creative testing, and a solid understanding of meme culture and humor will receive additional consideration.,
