Senior Motion Designer to create and execute motion graphics, animation, and campaign film content for Amazon Devices.
The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in motion design, animation, and editorial craft, and the ability to take a brand story and translate it into work that holds up in a keynote, a 15-second cutdown, and a social loop without losing the idea. You will work closely with creative directors, ACDs, and copywriters to develop motion concepts, storyboard and previs ideas, then execute polished final work, iterating based on feedback and factoring in timeline and platform requirements. You should be comfortable pitching motion concepts to creative leads and stakeholders, and have the technical range to move between styleframes, animation, and edit.

You will partner with creative directors, art directors, editors, sound designers, and production to deliver motion work across campaign film, keynote content, product detail pages, and social.
