Motion Designer, Brand

Vercel
115d$156,000 - $234,000

About The Position

Bring Vercel’s brand to life through motion. As a Motion Designer on the Creative team, you’ll shape how our story moves, across product launches, campaigns, events, social, and beyond. You’ll define the rhythm, pacing, and energy of a brand trusted by the most ambitious builders in the world. From kinetic typography to 3D animations, from UI demos to event openers, you’ll design motion that feels effortless, intentional, and distinctly Vercel. This is a high visibility role for someone who sweats the details, understands the nuance of timing and transitions, and can push creative ideas from concept through final render. You thrive in a fast moving environment where the bar is high and the creative runway is wide open. You’re a tinkerer, a storyteller, a creative explorer. You use motion to clarify, not complicate. You experiment with new tools (including AI), prototype quickly, and iterate until every frame feels sharp. We move quickly. The bar is high. The work ships. If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. If you're located beyond that distance, the role is fully remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.
