Motion Designer, CX

Meta•Los Angeles, CA

20d•$122,000 - $175,000

About The Position

Creative X is hiring a Motion Designer who combines motion design craft with creative coding and a systems-building mindset. The role concepts, designs, and animates brand and marketing content while building reusable motion components, templates, and tools that help creative work scale. It uses scripting, procedural techniques, and AI-powered tools to expand creative possibilities and reduce manual production work while maintaining a high creative bar. This is a hands-on role. The designer independently takes projects from brief through delivery, owns defined motion systems and workflow improvements, and partners with creative directors, designers, producers, and technical partners to make those systems useful beyond a single project.

Requirements

5+ years of motion design experience creating video marketing assets, social content, or brand communications, with a portfolio demonstrating strong animation craft and visual storytelling.
Proficiency with After Effects and relevant Adobe Creative Suite tools, with demonstrated understanding of composition, color, typography, timing, and pacing.
Hands-on experience with creative coding or scripting (for example, After Effects, React, or Python) to build animations, tools, or production automations.
Experience building reusable motion templates, procedural animation setups, or creative workflows used across multiple assets or projects, with examples demonstrating both the creative output and the system behind it.
Hands-on experience with AI-powered creative tools such as Weavy, Krea, Runway, or similar, including integrating generated outputs into finished creative work.
Ability to work independently from a brief, manage concurrent deliverables, and collaborate with creative and technical partners in a deadline-driven environment.
Working knowledge of audio/video formats, codecs, rendering, and delivery requirements, along with organized source-file, asset-management, and versioning practices.

Nice To Haves

Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices, such as risk assessment, bias mitigation, and quality and accuracy reviews.
Experience with 3D tools such as Cinema 4D or Blender, character animation, or generative and procedural motion techniques applied to brand or product contexts.
Ability to integrate AI tools to optimize or redesign workflows and drive measurable impact, such as efficiency gains or quality improvements.
Experience building reusable AI workflow instructions or agent skills, or working with LLM tool use and orchestration to support tasks such as brief analysis, asset generation, template population, or creative quality review.
Ongoing AI skill development, such as prompt/context engineering or agent orchestration, and staying current with emerging AI technologies.
Experience moving a creative prototype into a repeatable team workflow, including documentation, user feedback, quality checks, and demonstrated efficiency or quality improvements.
Experience contributing to or maintaining a brand or design system with motion principles, animation components, and scalable adaptation workflows.
Experience applying responsible AI practices, including reviewing generated content for bias, accuracy, and creative quality, and evaluating emerging tools for practical use in production.
Experience connecting creative tools through APIs, custom plugins, or node-based automation platforms, for example Claude MCPs, Adobe scripting, or Comfy UI.

Translate creative briefs and brand principles into cohesive visual narratives, applying judgment in animation, composition, typography, color, and pacing.
Deliver finished assets across formats and channels while managing priorities, production details, and creative feedback across multiple projects.
Build and maintain modular motion systems, reusable animation components, and templates that support creative variation while preserving brand consistency.
Partner with technical producers or engineers on API integrations and production deployment where needed; use expressions, scripting, procedural techniques, and data-driven animation to automate repeatable tasks such as content population, asset resizing, versioning, and rendering.
Integrate AI-powered tools into hybrid creative workflows, using prompting, context, and iteration to produce controlled, high-quality outputs.
Test and refine systems against production needs, evaluating creative quality, reliability, and efficiency; troubleshoot failures and improve workflows based on team feedback.
Document and share reusable tools, templates, and workflow instructions so other creatives can use and maintain them.
Organize source files and assets, and apply brand, technical, and responsible AI quality checks before delivery.
