Responsibilities

Design and animate motion graphics for social and brand video, product launches, technical explainers, customer stories, events, web, and presentations.
Translate briefs, scripts, static designs, and technical information into storyboards, style frames, motion studies, animatics, and final animation.
Create clear visual explanations of Zipline’s products and operations using typography, maps, diagrams, data, product interfaces, callouts, and 2D and 3D animation.
Develop titles, lower thirds, transitions, end cards, graphic packages, and other motion elements that integrate cleanly with live-action footage.
Composite motion and visual effects into footage, including screen replacements, tracked graphics, masks, cleanup, and other shot-based work.
Collaborate with the Editor on timing, pacing, integration, renders, revisions, and delivery of motion assets within finished video.
Partner with the Video Producer to estimate effort, confirm requirements, plan reviews, and deliver work against production schedules.
Work with brand designers and creative partners to apply Zipline’s visual identity consistently in motion across channels and formats.
Collaborate with engineers, operators, and other subject-matter experts to represent products, interfaces, workflows, and operational details accurately.
Build and maintain reusable templates, animation components, title systems, project files, and documentation that improve consistency and production efficiency.
Adapt work across durations, aspect ratios, resolutions, placements, and regional versions while preserving visual quality and brand consistency.
Maintain organized source files, linked assets, naming conventions, version history, render settings, and archives for efficient collaboration and reuse.

Requirements

6+ years of professional motion design experience in an in-house creative team, agency, studio, production company, or similarly demanding environment.
A strong reel and portfolio demonstrating motion craft, design judgment, visual storytelling, and range across 2D and 3D work, with your role identified for each project.
Expert proficiency in Adobe After Effects and strong working proficiency in Illustrator, Photoshop, and Figma.
Professional experience with Cinema 4D, Blender, or another 3D package, including animation, lighting, rendering, and compositing workflows.
Strong fundamentals in typography, composition, color, hierarchy, timing, easing, rhythm, pacing, and animation principles.
Experience developing storyboards, style frames, motion tests, and animatics that clearly communicate an approach before production.
Experience integrating animation with live-action footage through compositing, tracking, masking, keying, and screen replacement.
Ability to translate complex products, systems, data, and technical concepts into clear and engaging visual communication.
Experience building reusable motion templates and maintaining organized, production-ready project files.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to explain design choices, incorporate feedback, and work effectively with creative and technical partners.
Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple assignments, versions, and deadlines in a fast-moving production environment.
Experience with robotics, autonomy, aviation, logistics, hardware, infrastructure, healthcare, or another technically complex field is a plus.
Experience with CAD-derived assets, product visualization, simulation, UI animation, data visualization, Lottie, Rive, Unreal Engine, or real-time workflows is a plus.
Familiarity with emerging animation, compositing, and AI-assisted creative tools is a plus.
You are a hands-on maker who enjoys moving from early frames and motion tests through polished final animation.
You use motion to direct attention, explain how something works, and strengthen a story.
You are curious about complex technology and diligent about representing it accurately.
You collaborate well with producers, editors, designers, and technical subject-matter experts.
You respond constructively to feedback and can iterate while maintaining craft and consistency.
