Motion Art Director

The Opportunity

Join a fast-growing B2B tech agency with big ambitions and real momentum. You’ll work with innovative, world-leading brands to deliver integrated campaigns that drive awareness, create opportunities, and fuel global growth.

We’re looking for a Motion Art Director — a true second-in-command who combines senior motion craft with strategic thinking and project-level ownership across brand, product, and marketing campaigns.

You’ll shape the motion approach from brief to delivery, create high-quality 2D and 3D work, support and mentor the Motion team, and help raise the standard of creative output across every project.

Working closely with the Creative Director — Motion, and alongside the wider Creative, Strategy, and Delivery teams, you’ll take ownership of key motion decisions, quality assurance, and delivery reviews.

The Role

• Lead the motion approach across selected projects, from concept through to delivery.

• Create high-quality 2D, 3D, editing, and post-production work across brand, product, and campaign projects.

• Turn complex products and technical stories into clear, engaging motion-led narratives.

• Develop concepts, styleframes, animatics, edits, and motion tests that bring ideas to life.

• Maintain high creative, technical, and brand standards through QA and review processes.

• Collaborate with Creative, Strategy, Delivery, and Account teams to scope projects, manage timelines, and flag risks early.

• Present motion thinking clearly to internal teams and clients where needed.

• Improve workflows, production processes, and reusable assets across the Motion team.

• Support and mentor midweight Motion team members through feedback, guidance, and leadership.

• Share technical expertise across After Effects, Premiere Pro, Cinema 4D, and Redshift.

• Stay current with AI, Unreal Engine, and realtime production tools, helping evolve the team’s capabilities.

• Lead by example through strong craft, ownership, reliability, and calm problem-solving.

About you

• Strong motion direction instincts, with the ability to shape visual storytelling, animation language, pacing, and 2D/3D execution.

• Hands-on proficiency in After Effects, Premiere Pro, Cinema 4D, and Redshift.

• Deep understanding of animation, editing, composition, lighting, materials, rendering, compositing, and finishing.

• A strong portfolio/showreel demonstrating concept thinking, storytelling, and polished execution.

• Experience crafting stories around complex products, systems, services, or technical subject matter.

• Ability to lead motion projects independently from brief through to delivery.

• Confidence presenting and discussing ideas internally and with clients.

• Experience guiding motion designers through feedback, QA, and practical direction.

• Curiosity around Unreal Engine, AI-assisted workflows, and realtime production, with a practical approach to experimentation.

• Significant senior-level experience across motion design, animation, 3D, video, or post-production.

You'll also embody how we work:

• Think bigger . You don’t let someone else’s imagination or fear hold you back.

• Stay connected . It’s about relationships with colleagues and clients, always keeping your finger on the pulse.

• Own it . You are the absolute boss of your own job, brief, account, project, idea, meeting – you name it, you own it.

• Keep it real. You are up-front, open and honest.
