Brain Co.•San Francisco, CA

About The Position
Brain Co. is seeking its first motion hire for the brand team to define and develop the motion dimension of its recently launched visual identity. This role will be responsible for establishing the motion vocabulary across marketing, product demos, social media, events, and film. The position also involves leading the exploration and adoption of AI tooling for motion design, ensuring the visual system can be extended by AI without degradation. This is an authorship role with significant impact on the company's visual expression as it grows.
Requirements
- A brand designer who animates. Your foundation is typography, composition, and systems thinking; motion is how you express it
- Fluent in After Effects and Rive
- A systems builder. You've created motion frameworks that other people produced work from, and you can show the system, not just the outputs
- Able to defend your decisions in live critique and articulate why a choice is right for the brand, not just visually pleasing
- Experienced owning the motion dimension of a brand, either in-house or as a lead at an agency
- Genuinely curious about AI generation tools and opinionated about where they help and where they don't
- Based in San Francisco or ready to relocate
Nice To Haves
- 3D experience (Cinema 4D, Blender) is a plus, not a requirement
Responsibilities
- Define and own Brain Co.'s motion vocabulary across marketing, product demos, social, events, and film
- Extend the new brand identity into time-based media, from launch videos and explainer animations to conference visuals
- Partner with product design to establish motion principles in our product: easing, loading states, transitions, and micro-interactions
- Build high-impact demos and films that help Brain Co. win new business with governments, healthcare systems, and critical industries
- Establish our framework for AI-assisted motion production: tool selection, workflows, and a visual system designed to hold up under AI generation
- Produce finished work yourself
Benefits
- Competitive compensation including salary, equity, and performance incentives.
