Motion Designer
About The Position
As a Motion Designer, you will bring Fanatics Betting & Gaming's social content and creative storytelling to life through engaging, innovative, and culturally relevant motion design across Fanatics Sports & Casino and FanApp. Working closely with the Social and Content Team, you will develop and execute motion-driven content for always-on social, real-time sports moments, original programming, serialized content franchises, and larger brand campaigns. Content is designed to capture attention and resonate with sports fans across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, YouTube Shorts, and X. The role calls for more than executing creative briefs: you will proactively pitch concepts, experiment with emerging formats, and identify opportunities to help the brand stand out. You may create an original motion concept, elevate an existing video, or respond to a viral sports moment. Success involves developing fresh ideas, creating high-quality and engaging content, partnering reliably with Social Programmers, Creatives, and Producers, keeping ahead of social trends and platform behaviors, and balancing speed, creativity, and execution in a fast-paced, always-on environment. This role is suited to someone passionate about sports, entertainment, and internet culture, who is curious, resourceful, eager to experiment, and consistently looking for ways to make content more entertaining, engaging, and culturally relevant.

- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and balance speed and craft across reactive content and premium creative executions.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects independently, embrace feedback, and contribute creatively across teams.
