Senior Motion Designer Job at Level Studios, Inc. in Chicago

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Motion Designer to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll use motion to bring ideas to life by concepting and creating engaging, brand specific content that drives awareness, builds loyalty, and inspires action. You’ll work closely with cross-disciplinary teams including Creative, Strategy, Tech, and Production to develop and execute high-quality animations and visual experiences across multiple channels.

You’ll own projects from initial concept to final delivery, leading motion design efforts on key accounts and collaborating with team members to push the work creatively and technically. You will be responsible for developing, designing, and ultimately making everything from design systems, illustrations, and static compositions to 2D and 3D motion graphics pieces and visual effects, all while acting as a creative problem-solver for the artists, producers, clients, creatives and customers that you work with.

You are a master of After Effects, a wizard with Photoshop and Illustrator, and you may even know a little Cinema4D or Blender. You are curious and excited about AI and other emerging technologies and look forward to helping us ethically evolve our technical capabilities within our design and delivery processes.

PLEASE NOTE : Preference will be given to candidates who are local to the San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, or Los Angeles metros and willing to commit to a hybrid schedule of 3 days / week on average. Highly qualified candidates living in other markets may also be considered.

Responsibilities

• Design and animate 2d (and maybe some 3d) motion graphics for a wide variety of deliverables through video, social content, UI animations, email, banners, and more.
• Develop storyboards, style frames, and visual concepts in collaboration with art directors, designers, producers, and strategists.
• Lead 2D and 3D animation pipelines as needed, working closely with post-production leadership.
• Translate complex ideas into compelling visual narratives that align with brand tone, voice, and messaging.
• Use motion design to enhance UX, communicate value propositions, and create memorable branded experiences.
• Stay current on industry trends and technologies, pushing creative boundaries and integrating emerging tools like AI where appropriate.
• Solve creative and technical challenges with a proactive, solutions-first mindset.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure consistency across all touchpoints while adapting design style for different clients and media types.
