JOB PURPOSE

We're looking for a versatile Motion Designer to join our Creative & Media team. You'll work closely with our Benelux & Nordics teams to create visual campaigns, digital content and visual identities for international clients.

You'll collaborate with creatives, strategists and art directors to bring ideas to life visually. From shaping a new brand identity or creative campaign to designing social ads, digital content and presentations.

We're looking for someone with a strong graphic design foundation, excellent typography skills and a sharp eye for visual hierarchy and details. Someone who can create from scratch, but is equally comfortable turning an existing creative direction or brand identity into consistently great work.

You have a strong interest in (generative) AI and actively experiment with the latest tools and developments. You know how to use AI to explore new creative possibilities, while maintaining a critical eye for the output. Above all, you understand that strong ideas, taste and art direction matter more than technical mastery of any individual tool.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Shape the visual and motion direction of projects from concept to delivery
• Develop strong creative ideas rooted in narrative, pacing, and visual structure
• Design and animate high quality motion work across campaigns and formats
• Define look and feel, styleframes, and motion language for projects
• Collaborate closely with designers, creatives, and other disciplines
• Guide motion execution to keep work aligned with the original creative intent
• Stay curious of new tools, references, and techniques across motion and visual design

WHAT YOU BRING:

• Strong visual judgement and confidence contributing to concepts and creative direction. Art direction experience showing how you’ve helped craft the visual story of your work
• Experience as a motion designer with a clear art direction mindset
• Solid After Effects skills with a good sense of timing, framing, and storytelling. Video editing in Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve is a plus.
• Experience creating styleframes, visual systems, and narrative driven motion
• Curiosity around AI tools and interest in learning how they can support creative work
• 2 years of agency experience
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment and working within a multi-disciplinary team
• A strong portfolio or showreel showing concept, craft, and high quality motion work
