About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Motion Designer to lead motion graphics and go-to-market video production for Perplexity's social channels. This role prioritizes creating a consistent volume of high-quality, on-brand motion content that effectively communicates the Perplexity story. You will be responsible for concepting, animating, and delivering social media materials, with a secondary focus on defining motion principles and exploring creative technology as the motion practice evolves. You will report to the Brand/Creative Studio team and collaborate with Brand, Growth, Comms, and the Producer.
Responsibilities
- Own the creation of motion graphics and video content for social channels, including concepting, storyboarding, animating, and end-to-end delivery of GTM materials.
- Prioritize video production with a consistent, high-volume output of polished, on-brand motion work.
- Bring concepts to life in 2D and 3D, from styleframes and animatics to final delivery.
- Partner with Brand and Growth teams to translate launches and campaigns into effective social motion content.
- Contribute to Perplexity's motion principles, systems, and templates to ensure consistent motion scaling across the team.
- Engage in creative technologist explorations, including new tools, techniques, and AI-assisted workflows.
- Collaborate with the Producer on scoping, scheduling, and timely delivery of projects.
Requirements
- Senior-level experience in motion graphics and animation, with a core focus on video production.
- A strong portfolio showcasing expressive motion work, particularly social, campaign, and GTM content with demonstrated range and polish.
- Deep understanding of animation fundamentals, including timing, spacing, composition, visual rhythm, and design sensibility.
- Expert proficiency in After Effects and the Adobe Creative Suite.
- Comfort working with Figma.
- Ability to work efficiently, manage multiple deliverables, and iterate quickly in a high-output environment.
- A keen sense for when motion enhances clarity or emotion, and when a static image is more appropriate.
