  • Experience with storyboarding, visual design principles, and animation / rendering.
  • Strong design sensibility with excellent written and verbal communication skills for effective cross-team collaboration.
  • Outstanding organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail, able to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
  • Bonus if you have :
  • Experience working in a global or distributed team
  • Experience working at a fast-paced startup
  • Experience with Cinema4D
  • Familiarity with motion design for digital products (UX / UI, micro-interactions, etc.)
  • What Success Looks Like

  • After 3 months in this role, you will have :
  • Collaborated seamlessly with Brand&Design team
  • Established an efficient production process
  • Contributed fresh creative ideas
