Motion Designer

DoorDash USA • Washington, DC

2d • $83,000 - $122,000

About The Position

We’re looking for a Motion Designer to join Superette and lead motion across high-impact growth surfaces, from paid media and social to lifecycle and campaign storytelling. This role sits at the intersection of performance and brand, responsible for turning static ideas into motion that drives action, scales efficiently, and elevates DoorDash’s creative output.
You’ll work closely with Creative and Marketing partners to concept, design, and produce motion that performs in fast-paced environments. You’ll build repeatable systems, not just one-off assets. You will be developing templates, frameworks, and motion languages that scale across channels while maintaining craft.
You’re fluent in the realities of performance marketing: tight timelines, high volume, constant iteration, but bring a strong point of view on pacing, storytelling, and visual polish.
You’ll report to a Sr. Designer within Marketing, helping define how motion shows up across DoorDash’s ecosystem.
