Compensation: This is a flat monthly rate contract at $6,000 per month We’re looking for a fully dedicated, highly organized hybrid Motion Graphics Designer/Editor to create and iterate high-performing direct response (DR) creative across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and other paid social/video placements. This role is not motion-only - you’ll work across stills, motion, video editing, and AI-assisted production in a highly collaborative, fast-turn environment. You’ll partner closely with our creative team to build, version, and optimize assets for rapid testing - moving from concept to iterations to final deliverables quickly and cleanly.
What You’ll Do
- Conceptualize, design, and execute motion + video ads, and supporting static assets as needed for performance testing.
- Build direct response-first motion systems: kinetic typography, punchy transitions, UI-style overlays, callouts, infographics, and performance-driven effects.
- Re-cut existing footage, adapt animated graphics, and create net-new variations for A/B testing and rapid iteration.
- Develop moodboards, styleframes, and storyboards to align internally and with clients before production.
- Leverage stock footage/imagery, SFX, and AI-assisted tools (e.g., image generation/editing, VO/asset support) to move quickly - especially for brands with limited existing content.
- Maintain exceptional project hygiene: naming conventions, layer structure, and organized project files that enable fast handoffs and easy revisions.
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing quality, timelines, and stakeholder expectations in a fast-paced environment.
- Stay on top of platform trends (paid + organic) and translate them into ad-ready creative patterns.
- Deliver across required formats/aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9, etc.) and placements with strong attention to specs.
- We’re looking for an organized, collaborative hybrid designer who can execute cleanly at scale and thrive in a fast-turn environment.
- Strong design eye + direct response sensibility (clarity, hierarchy, pacing, hooks, CTAs).
- Comfortable producing stills + motion + video edits (not motion-only).
- Excellent file organization / project hygiene (naming conventions, clean layers, structured comps/timelines) - non-negotiable.
- Ability to follow team systems and processes (templates, shared files, handoffs).
- Experience working at high pace (agency experience is a strong plus).
- Flexibility and adaptability for integrating new tools, especially AI-assisted workflows.
Tools + Workflow
- Expert in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially After Effects + Premiere (Photoshop/Illustrator required; Audition a bonus).
- Figma proficiency strongly preferred (team is Figma-heavy; shared templates and fast iteration).
- Comfortable collaborating via Google/Microsoft/Slack productivity tools.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows for production speed (image generation/editing, VO/asset support, generative extensions).
Note: Tool usage varies by project, but the workflow is often After Effects–heavy with Premiere used when editing is the best tool for the job.
