What are the responsibilities and job description for the Motion Graphics Designer [209789] position at Aquent?
We are looking for a talented junior to mid-level Motion Graphics Designer to join our Fortune 100 financial client’s creative team, who balances the speed of an agency with the stability of a corporate powerhouse. This is a high-impact role that bridges the gap between creative design and technical production. You will be responsible for taking core concepts and translating them across various digital platforms— from stadium LED strips to dynamic animated social media content.
What You’ll Do
You will be part of a robust creative ecosystem (including a sister team of 18 video pros). While this role is based more “in-house” than our travel-heavy video crews, you remain a vital artery for our brand’s visual output. This is a perfect role for a designer who loves seeing their work live in the real world—from the palm of a hand on a smartphone to the massive screens of a stadium.
The target hiring compensation range for this role is $35 to $40 hr. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
