About The Position

Nen Creative is seeking a Motion Designer to join their growing team. This role will be responsible for bringing clients' ideas to life through motion graphics for various projects including launch videos, commercials, product explainers, social content, and brand campaigns. The work involves 2D, UI, typography, compositing, and edit-driven animation, requiring the ability to handle both polished hero sequences and fast-turn social content. The Motion Designer will collaborate with producers, editors, designers, and directors, taking direction from the Motion Design Lead and contributing their own creative input. This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced studio environment, demanding strong fundamentals, sharp visual instincts, and a drive to push creative boundaries. The ideal candidate will own their work from concept to delivery, iterate quickly on feedback, and maintain a high level of craft regardless of timeline or scope.

Expert in After Effects; comfortable in Figma and Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
Strong visual design fundamentals — type, layout, color, composition, timing
Real point of view on motion — easing, transitions, restraint — and the ability to talk through your decisions
Solid eye for detail. You notice the things most people don't and care about getting them right
Comfortable taking feedback and iterating quickly without losing momentum
Experience in studio, agency, or fast-moving startup environments
Self-directed and remote-ready. You can manage your own workload, communicate clearly in writing, and stay aligned across time zones
Calm, organized, and dependable under pressure
