Requirements
- A Master of Motion: 8+ years of experience in motion graphics and animation, with a portfolio that shows a deep understanding of timing, physics, typography, and storytelling.
- Product Animation Expert: Deep experience animating SaaS and complex UI systems — from feature reveals to full product narratives. You understand interaction design, states, transitions, and micro-interactions, and can make dense workflows feel intuitive, elegant, and alive.
- Systems Thinker: You love the challenge of "how do we do this again, but faster?" You have experience building MOGRTs, scripts, or automated pipelines that empower other designers.
- Technical Polyglot: You are an expert in After Effects and the Adobe Suite. Familiarity with 3D (C4D/Blender) and Houdini is a massive plus.
- Product Design Fluency: Comfortable working in Figma and collaborating directly with Product Designers to translate complex UI into pixel-accurate marketing motion.
- AI-Native: You don't just "know" AI exists; you are actively experimenting with tools like Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, Runway Gen-3, or Luma. You understand how to use AI for rotoscoping, texture generation, style transfer, or frame interpolation.
- Strategic Maker: You can take a complex abstract concept—like "market intelligence"—and turn it into a visual metaphor that is both beautiful and easy to understand.
- Adaptive & Scrappy: You thrive in the "grey area" of emerging tech. You are comfortable with tools that might change or break every week and enjoy the process of troubleshooting.
Responsibilities
- Design & Animate: Create high-fidelity motion graphics for brand campaigns, product launches, social channels, and executive keynotes.
- Architect Workflows: Design and implement repeatable animation systems that leverage AI to reduce manual "grunt work" (e.g., automated versioning, AI-assisted cleanup, or generative backgrounds).
- Define the Motion Identity: Partner with Brand Leads to evolve the AlphaSense motion guidelines, ensuring a consistent "look and feel" across all global touchpoints.
- R&D & Evangelism: Stay on the bleeding edge of creative technology. Regularly demo new tools and techniques to the broader creative team to uplevel our collective output.
- Collaborate across Functions: Work closely with Product Designers, pulling directly from Figma files to translate software UI into beautiful, "pixel-perfect" marketing animations.
- Scale through Systems: Build a library of motion assets and templates that allow for rapid iteration without sacrificing quality.
- Develop Deep Product & Market Fluency: Gain a thorough understanding of the AlphaSense platform, our customers, and the broader B2B enterprise landscape to ensure motion work reflects real product value, use cases, and buyer context — not just surface-level aesthetics.
