Animator, Motion Graphics

Job Description: • Design and animate motion systems for various surfaces: interaction motion, component behaviors, transitions, and “moments of delight.” • Create expressive 2D animations (and occasional 3D/hybrid work as needed) for product storytelling, launches, and in-product education. • Partner daily with Product Designers and Engineers to prototype, refine, and ship motion that matches design intent and performs well in production. • Collaborate with broader XFN partners (creative direction, brand, illustration, content design, research, marketing/communications) to align motion with product goals and narrative. • Translate ambiguous asks into clear motion concepts, explore options quickly, and iterate with feedback. • Contribute to motion guidelines, documentation, and reusable assets so work scales across teams and stays consistent. • Present work with strong rationale—tying motion decisions to user outcomes (comprehension, confidence, reduced friction). Requirements: • 7+ years of professional experience in motion design/animation for digital products, brands, or agencies (or equivalent portfolio demonstrating comparable scope and craft). • Strong portfolio showing excellent timing, easing, composition, and narrative clarity, including UI/product motion and/or motion systems work. • Expertise in After Effects and core 2D design tools (e.g., Illustrator, Photoshop); comfort working from Figma files and design systems. • Hands-on experience shipping animations with Lottie (Bodymovin) and partnering with engineers to implement and optimize motion in production. • Experience collaborating with engineers to ship motion into production (e.g., handing off specs, working through constraints, QA’ing implementation). • Ability to manage multiple projects, shifting priorities, and stakeholder feedback in a fast-paced environment. • Strong communication skills and comfort working with distributed, cross-functional teams. • Prototyping experience (Figma prototyping, Origami, Principle, ProtoPie, etc.). • Familiarity with 3D workflows (Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar). • Experience building or contributing to motion design systems (guidelines, libraries, reusable patterns). • Proof of eligibility to work in the United States or Canada. Benefits: • Health Insurance - Medical, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance • Discounts on movie tickets, theme parks, hotels, Broadway and Vegas shows, shopping partners & more • Flexible working environment and more!
