About The Position

OLIPOP is seeking a Motion Designer with strong video editing capabilities to help bring our brand to life through movement, storytelling, and pacing. This role is ideal for a designer who thinks in motion first, but is equally comfortable editing footage to create compelling, platform-ready content. You’ll support major brand initiatives, social-first storytelling, paid media, and internal content; partnering closely with design, brand, and social teams. This is a hands-on, execution-forward role with creative ownership and visibility. We’re looking for a Motion Designer who is a motion-first thinker with a strong design foundation and a love for bringing ideas to life through movement. You’re formally trained in motion design, with light but confident video editing chops, and you’re comfortable flexing between concept, execution, and iteration. You’ve worked closely with in-house creative teams before, partnering directly with art directors, writers, and designers and understand how great work gets made collaboratively. You’re not precious about your work, welcome feedback, and thrive in an iterative environment where ideas evolve quickly. You bring a positive, solutions-oriented attitude to everything you do, along with a wide range of ideas and references that push the work forward. You’re curious, adaptable, and genuinely excited to contribute to a creative team and build something together.
